It All Just Keeps Getting Dumber – Wednesday, May 21st, 2025
As we head towards another Memorial Day, in honor of all the sacrifices made to keep America Free and on top of the world, it’s time to celebrate the brilliance and excellence of our leaders in Washington, especially the loyal monarchists in the Cabinet. I think it will be great for the U.S. to cut FEMA, public Education, food stamps, and Medicaid for poor people and Vets, and give the ultra-wealthy another big break and balloon the national debt by another couple of trillion dollars, don’t you? Moody’s agrees and finally joined the other 2 ratings agencies in giving sovereign U.S. debt a drop in its rating. (I sort of know what that means.)
Well, the Dubs lost game 5 without Steph, so their season is over. What about the dynasty, though? Got to be real. I feel like this one may be over. Unless they sign Giannis.
Big week for comics with lots to read and enjoy. Do that while they are still legal. Time to get ready for another blockbuster in the movie theaters, so Superman is our new banner on Facebook. No special event or sale for the holiday weekend, but normal hours.
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. Again, I do not have time to sort the images into publisher groups.
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, millennium, 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.
