Well That Was Fun In the Rain – Wednesday, May 8th, 2024

In spite of the rain, really. The only effect was that no one lined up early in the downpour, but we were full by 11:15 and really busy for four hours straight, and then still pretty busy until closing. Bob usually keeps the table full for about a week, so if you couldn’t make FCBD last Saturday, you might be able to catch up with a few still. Only 360 more days until the next one!

Small week for DC, but a big week for Marvel and the Other Guys, and Diamond forgot to bill us for toys and stuff, so I don’t have anything to put here. Bob says they DID show up, but I’m back in Minnesota, so I can’t list them here.

I had a great time in Livermore for 3 days, then Napa luxury for one day, and a long 2-day road trip up Hiway 1 with my brother to Humboldt State Park. Wednesday was a busy flying day, so I couldn’t catch up on this until Thursday morning.  Now my nose is glued back to the grindstone in Minneapolis.  See you next year, maybe.

Thanks to League Of Comic Geeks for this week’s images, which are in some unusual, non-alphabetical order, and 6 across. Use the list, and MAYBE the pictures will be useful.

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