From the Cold, High Plains – Wednesday, November 16th, 2022

I’m typing this from a La Quinta Inn in Rapid City (but I’m not posting it until Friday from St Paul)  I’m (was) one more long drive away from my new old home, the Twin Cities, Minnesota, moving in with my sister while she tries to sell the house and move to Wisconsin. So I’m heading for a moving target, and have to hide my presence, and literally disappear for afternoons or whole days at a time, while I start working to clean up the Nostalgia Zone on East Lake Street. Bob and Dave and Eric may need some cheering up now that I’ve finally left.  Or they could be celebrating. Maybe I’ll still be “here” next week.

I see a lot of comics on the list and I assume they came in.  By now they’ve been there for a whole day. See the list below.

We are still encouraging and welcoming masks, but not requiring them. 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 still 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. If you want to know about the next sale or store event, or whether or not WE ARE EVEN OPEN click here. Sign in here to get an email reminder for ALL sales and other events. 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.
