Warriors Win NBA Championship 50% of the Time – Wednesday, June 22nd, 2022

Twelve years ago, the Giants began a dynasty and  won three even-year World Series in 5 years, so adding one odd one either side, they won half the championships over 6 years. Six months after the third  one, the  Golden State warriors started their new dynasty and have won half the championships over the 8 seasons. There is no compelling reason to bet against them having a great season next year! I miss hoops already. Going to miss Kevon next year.

A big comic week for once. Lots more pops, and the Manga shelves are slowly filling in the back number holes.

The Jan 6 Committee True Crime Drama of the last 2 weeks was a masterpiece of detective work and storytelling. No matter which way you lean, all American citizens need to watch all of these hearings.

Alameda County has reestablished an indoor mask mandate, until further notice. 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. 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.
