The Groo Panel
Friday March 27, 2026 3:30pm - 4:30pm PDT
The all-time dumbest warrior in comics—the creation of cartoonist Sergio Aragonés—has been captivating audiences for decades.

Sergio's collaborators, Mark Evanier and Carrie Strachan, try to make sense out of all that stupidity, and if they need help, they will phone Sergio and see what he makes of it.

Coyote pays all those bills from the Acme Company or how the kids who drive around with Scooby-Doo can be so bright but not recognize that one of the suspects in their current case is wearing a rubber mask. Jerry and Mark will do their best to enlighten the audience.
