Another Massacre – Every Day – Wednesday, June 1st, 2022

As I write this on Thursday, June 2 around noon, there have been 46 gun deaths this month.  A day and a half. 36 hours. Thoughts and prayers. That’s low. The 2021 average would have been more like 80. The guy in Tulsa had back pain, blamed his surgeon, decided to buy an automatic rifle, went to the hospital, shot his surgeon, another doctor, a receptionist, another patient, then himself. What do you think a 3-day waiting period might have done for him and his victims?

America! We’re number one! True, in at least one statistic.

Go Warriors.

Marvel and DC were even smaller than last week, and everybody else was pretty small, too. Pics interspersed. I’ve got a really sore back and don’t have the energy for anymore.

Further notice has arrived on one front, anyway. Bob has removed the mask requirement. Cautiously. It’s still out there, with a new variant being created somewhere. Remember, you are only in our enclosed space for minutes, but Bob is there all day. We still need to be careful, people.

I am going to talk to the one person reading this. We have put a TON of effort into clearing out the aisles and getting things in order, especially the books and Pops. Please tell Bob you appreciate how the store looks and feels. And help us keep them in order.

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.

Wednesday is Normally New Comic Day, no matter what you read on the internets.
