Orange Skies and No Sun (or DC’s) All Day  on Wednesday, September 9th, 2020

My housemate is counting the plagues that have befallen us this year.  Sickness, unemployment, incompetence, drought and fire, heat, and I’m adding callousness and stupidity by DC. They didn’t have to do this. FedEx tracking has had the DC shipment in Sac from Friday until yesterday, and leaving for Hayward this morning.  We do not expect it before Friday, but we are prepared for a pleasant surprise tomorrow, should the shroud of ill will lift a day early. We have requested UPS starting with the shipment originating today and arriving next week. Let’s hope Brown does it for us next week! They <3 Logistics, now.

It’s already Wed night, again, so no summary, just the list, again. Wednesday is STILL New Comic Day, – unless you are a DC comics fan – 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.

Three FCBD editions today, which is the end, according to the official schedule, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some late ones next week or two – Ask Bob. Free Comic Book Day – ‘s of Summer continues. I’m adding to the list each week so 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.
