Thanks, Cliff!  I did another sketch of Groucho a while back.  He's one of my favorite comedians.  I would classify him as a natural comic.   He always looked like his sense of humor was so effortless... which was part of his genius.

I agree.  The entire family was very talented.  I read somewhere that he said he got his sense of humor from his mother.

I used to watch him in those movies and that TV show You Bet Your Life.  He was very funny.
