The Pandemics are Worse in America- Wednesday, August 11th, 2021

We have one infecting people’s lungs AND another their brains. We will be enforcing a Mask Mandate, and limiting the number of people indoors. Bob is busy every Saturday, so we really don’t need to do anything to increase traffic. We are concerned and frankly afraid of the Desantis Variant’s effectiveness and apparent success in younger people and children. So masks and distance on Saturday and please, take care of America and get a vaccine. Be ready for a line.

We went from breaking records to a really small week. And the DC’s were days late, and didn’t show up at our door until 4 o’clock today.  On the plus side, I brought out at least 120 pops from the back, and Bob bought a couple dozen cool ones off the street, so if that’s your bag…

Did I mention Free Comic Book Day is scheduled for this Saturday August 14th this year? I did. And it is.  I said I would post the list “in a few days” for 3 weeks now. How about Thursday? We are not sure exactly what we will do besides give 3 comics away, and they may even be outside.  There may be a line, so please respect the other businesses along Livermore Av, which  has shade after Noon, so that helps.

Wednesday is STILL New Comic Day, 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.  We do it once, Wednesday morning. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Thanks to Comics on the Green for this week’s images, which include many of the comics and a few of the books and other items we received today, and may have pics of things we didn’t and/or won’t get. Use the list, and maybe the pictures.
