Congrats Groove! I can safely say checking here is a regular part of my day, one I look forward to. Thanks for the dedication.

HAPPY 9th to one of my favorite online comic blogs!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the anniversary, Groove. Here's to 99 more...
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary Groove! Here is to 9 more years, cheers!
ReplyDelete9 years! Keep up the great work. The best part of my day is having a cup of coffee before work and checking out your blog.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on an amazing first nine years Groove. Here's to at least 90 more (yes your grandchildren are going to continue this blog for you, way into posterity).
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, Ol Groove! And THANK YOU! My day is not complete without a visit to grooviest blog of all time.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Congrats! I do check in daily and love your blog!
ReplyDeleteFor someone who claims not to know what they're doing, your blog is pretty consistently and regularly essential reading and viewing Mr Groove. Many thanks.

Congrats Groove! Happy 9th!! You've got a really groovy site here, and I check in everyday to see what's shaking. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hanging in there, Groove! This blog is a refreshment and sometimes like a lifesaver in the ocean! Or, perhaps a refrigerated bottled water on a hot day! Anyway, it's good! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHappy 9th anniversary, Groove.
ReplyDeletecongrats !!! and wishing you another 9 years, good Sir... you have a wonderful Blog and have many great posts that we enjoy viewing ... A pleasant weekend to you and yours !!
ReplyDeleteThe blog so nice I had to comment twice! Here's to another 9!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Thank you for your hard work(where do you find the time?),knowledge and enthusiasm!
ReplyDeleteThis is the one site that I look forward to checking every day, knowing it will have something completely new. Your selections and knowledge cover every genre of comic, which is what makes this site a delight to check daily, wondering what treasures you have unearthed for us,and what part of comic history we will learn about today.
All the best,
M
Happy 9th!
ReplyDeleteI love re-visiting comics I grew up with and catching up on all the ones I missed. Some commenters say they start the day with your blog; I tend to end mine with it. But the results are the same: a fun way to relax and even learn a thing or two.
Keep on groovin' for at least another 9!

Congrats on the 9th anniversary Groove! Clearly, you're doing something right!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary and a hearty thank you for your commitment to this blog. We all reap the benefits every day! You are greatly appreciated my friend!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for all the anniversary wishes, Groove-ophiles! You don't know how much Ol' Groove appreciates 'em. We'll have to do this again next year!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 9 years!
ReplyDeleteCongrats and many thanks. No day is complete without stopping by here to see what the heck is going on. There are often surprises!
ReplyDeleteI believe that Warlock cover is the first appearance of his new costume. He's sportin' some snappy new duds, with a cape no less. It means he's getting serious.
I think Warlock should've kept the lightening bolt on the chest, however. It's a classic! Fawcett's Captain Marvel, the Golden Age Flash. It's an homage.
But, maybe lightening bolts and capes don't go together, unless you're Merlin.
Cheers, and thanks again!

Hey Groove! I've just realised I've congratulated you on Facebook but not here. So, let me put that right - Congratulations! Your blog is consistently entertaining, informative and just plain old groovy, so please keep up the great work and keep all that Bronze Age goodness coming.
ReplyDeleteHappy 9th Anniversary. Don't think I've been here from the beginning, but pretty darn close (I think it was while I was searching the web for Dave Cockrum the I came across this site). Your selection of covers was superb. But I'm sure that was your intent.
