Play gift counselor for me, please: I’m buying a birthday gift for a friend, and wanted to get a _funny_ graphic novel. He adores Groo the Wanderer (has all the gns and other merch.) What’s funny in more or less a comparable sort of way?

If he already has all of _Groo_, he might well have these, too, but there are the other comics by Sergio Aragonés, such as [_Plop!_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plop!) and [_Funnies_](https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comics/series/106517/sergio-aragones-funnies) (none of which are as good as _Groo_.) or you could just buy him some mulch.

Also, while veering well off your “funny” desire, you might want to consider _Usagi Yojimbo_, which you can see a bit of _Groo_ in, even though it is more serious.

Ooh! I hadn’t thought of Nodwick! Cool beans!

(I could die happily if I’d created a character-name as clever as “Piffany.”)
