G.R.O.T. [Get Rid Of Tarrant] #1 (all Tarrant humor)

Mini Review By Sarah Thompson

Here is a scarce genzine that recently came my way in photocopy form (I'm still looking for originals). I don't recommend that you put a lot of effort into looking for it, but it's an amusing collectors' item if you happen to find it.

The Tarrant stories are mild and IMO inoffensive; they're more like typical Vila joke-stories.
