Getting the Groo on and other bad puns

Groo and Rufferto - Cold-Cast Statue, Limited Edition of 750 - Sculpted by Sergio Aragon
Groo and Rufferto - Cold-Cast Statue, Limited Edition of 750 - Sculpted by Sergio Aragon
As Rufferto sits atop his master's noggin, staying ahead and keeping that winning edge in their game of hide-n-seek -- or hide-and-seek for those with a stronger affection for conjunctions -- it offers a chance to ponder possible movies starring the Wanderer.

A Room with A Groo - A couple visit a small barbaric town. There they find that although accomodation is scarce, at least there is a man in a loin cloth at each of the few huts they are shown.

Be Groo - Everyone is looking for the next big chunk of lamb to roast on the spit.

Groo Hand Luke - Groo is sent to a fat camp, where he gets a reputation as an overeater. The head of the gang hates him, and tries to break him by out-thinking him. It doesn't work, and he scores a headache. His mother dies, and he escapes, but is caught, escapes again, and is caught again. But where is Rufferto?

Crazed wizard lead suspect in engorged heads case

Wizard from the Groo PVC set
Authorities investigating their investigations into the baffling investigation of the engorged heads recently cornered a purple tunic wearing man in relation to the case. Brandishing a silver dull gourd of fluid mass, the man, who appears to be affecting a wizard like garb, was taken by surprise as the local arresting force descended upon his mid-weekly laundry service errand. Refusing to give in with ease, the man was noted to have taken a swig of his mysterious gourd before rambling and speaking in tongues, "Groo" being one of the words shouted.

Found on his person were passport-sized photos of people who have recently come under a most distressing condition. A condition wherein their heads amass to a disproportionately large size compared to the rest of their bodies. The resultant state a cause for much ridicule and misread signs as their heads bobble back and forth in a jerky manner. Those that have fallen victim have been derisively labelled "head knockers" in the public air space.

Cases with a magical element are rare. The investigators in the situation believe that the wizard in question holds at least one related answer to that of the large headed people. Their fixation on his Bob Hope-like chin a large factor in their fancy.
