We’re Back to Normal, Sort Of. There is That One Thing… Wednesday, March 9th, 2022

Yeah. It was really the 9th last Wednesday, not the 29th. Editing mistake.

Nothing weird happened with our shipment Wednesday. We have all 3 major book sections in pretty good order. A hundred boxes have been removed from the floor. And we can walk through, carefully, mind you, our back rooms again. I love progress!

Covid? What Covid? Seriously, it’s still out there and Bob says we are requiring masks until early May. Until further notice.

I kind of miss the good old days when I was young and I believed that Brezhnev really didn’t want to melt everything. Today, I’m not sure that one particular Russian loves his children, too.  Google thinks he has a wife and two daughters.

If you are a regular weekly new comic buyer, you will find we tweaked the arrangement on the shelves again. All the Marvels are still on the left wall, as they have been for months now, but the DCs are all together on the right, and then the Not Marvels and Not DCs start on the second comic shelf and continue down the wall. There was a good reason at the time, and Bob says he likes it, so it will probably stay that way, unless we get a bunch of complaints.

Thanks to League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 8 across. So it’s a somewhat random sample. I’ll keep searching. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful.

We are enforcing a Mask Rule until mid-May. We are old and concerned about missing even ONE day or work. I haven’t even had a cold for TWO YEARS! So, please, take one for team America and get a vaccine and booster. And bring a mask until we take the sign down.

Wednesday is Normally New Comic Day, no matter what you read on the internets. Watch this space and our Facebook page for the latest news about the rest of the month, season, year, millenium, etc. (And text messages from 5-Star.) The complete list is found below.
