Pride Goeth before the Fall – Wednesday, September 5th,  2018

That means that the demise of the Despot is preceded by proclamations of the Greatness of the Despot – by the Despot. In other words, an extremely high opinion of oneself is a reliable predictor of imminent failure. In more other words, one should be humble. And watch out for falling despots.

Wow, what a day. I listened to the Senate Judicial Committee for hours today and, though it is about a “routine” appointment, not “high crimes and misdemeanors”, that, plus the Taz-like cyclone of destruction that occupies the White House, reminded me of those nostalgic days when I was working nights in the summer of ’73 and watching the hearings with my mom from 11-2 before going back to work. Sweet memories of my youth.

Speaking of which, there is a Big Sale in your future. Very far in your future. Months away. But we had one just a few days ago. Did you miss it? Sign in here to get an email reminder for ALL sales and the details on this one. Also, you can go to fb.fantasybooksandgames.com and you’ll be taken to our Facebook page.

Thanks to Friendly Neighborhood Comics for this week’s images, which include many of the comics and a few of the books we received today.

I caught something nasty Tuesday night and still can’t function very well, so this is 24+ hours late, and kind of short. Hey, want some comics? How about these…
