Two Week’s Worth of DC’s and Fresh Air Returns  on Wednesday, September 16th, 2020

Well, LAST WEEK’S DC’s are still “on a truck”, but at least they are telling us today, Wednesday, is the delivery day, so only about 8 days late. This week’s DC’s were carried by UPS instead of FedEx. I just called Bob and everything for both weeks is there! Yay!

It just occurred to me that my source for borrowing this week’s comics images hasn’t had any pics for DC’s for a long time, and I don’t know how long. Not that anyone looks at them, but as a hobby-historian, the idea of documenting history is not dependent on anyone reading it IN MY TIME, but for that random space traveller in the future who finds….well, anyway. I’m going to look….interesting.

March 18 – comics were a day late, and Bob did it all by himself by Thursday. 

March 26 – I announced Thursday comics, but I didn’t even do a list. Last shipment for 2 months.

May 20 (I wrote 26th!) – Quasi-normal shipments resume under “shut-down” rules, but no Marvels.

May 27 – Marvels return, but…

June 10 – DC announces its Distribution Conniption plans

July 1 – No DC pics or comics, because they took the week off for transition to new system.

July 8 – DC’s shipping under new FedEx regime, but I never got around to pictures that week and for DC’s, there haven’t been any since. Interesting for me, but who really cares? 

That said, I’ll forego the highlights and print the list, unverified by me, because I’m home recovering from hernia surgery, and won’t be lifting boxes for a few weeks.

Wednesday is STILL New Comic Day, no matter what you read on the internets. We can’t clear the new rack to just have 10 DC’s  surrounded by empty space. AND we REALLY can’t depend on the new Distributor and FedEx to show up on time (which was supposed to be Tuesday, but it’s NEVER happened). We do it once, Wednesday morning. And now again whenever the heck FedEx decides to deliver. Ask Bob.

Free Comic Book Day – ‘s of Summer is officially over, and my prediction of stragglers showing up today appears to be wrong. We still have most of them so you might be able to pick up something you missed  – check out our good ol’ Free Comic Book Day page.

We encourage everyone to be careful, make your trip to our store quick and efficient, and try to come in to shop in smaller groups, and reduce your own exposure to ALL public places indoors, including ours. Bob is open, bring your mask, keep your distance, and help keep Bob healthy. If you like, you can browse the list and make an order to [email protected] for a quicker pick up. It might also help to put in a time window when you would be in the neighborhood, to give Bob a chance to get them together, and include a phone number for good measure.

Please wear a mask!

Watch this space and our Facebook page for latest news about the rest of the month, season, year, millenium, etc. (And text messages from 5-Star.) The complete list is found below.

Also, you can go to     fb.fantasybooksandgames.com and you’ll be taken to our Facebook page. We also use our in-store 5-Star Rewards system to text similar announcements to your phone.

Thanks to Comics on the Green for this week’s images, which include many of the comics and a few of the books and other items we received today, and may have pics of things we didn’t and/or won’t get. Use the list, and maybe the picture.
