Well,\nwe made it through our first week, and it wasn’t that bad. It’s a little weird\nfor a shop that prides itself on hand-selling and browsing to work through\nmasks with an occupancy limit, but this is just the way it’ll be for a while.\nWe had about an 85% compliance rate with masks and that’s pretty good in my\nbook. We’ll never demand that you wear one, and we won’t shame you if you\ndon’t, but we do strongly suggest it for the safety of others in our community.\nYou all came out in full force and we had a great week, only tipping into the\noccupancy limit a couple times. We thank everyone for being understanding\nduring a week that had a very steep learning curve for us. Remember, this won’t\ngo on forever but it’s the new norm for a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, we are now\nclosed on Monday for a deep cleaning! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are available for\ncurbside regular hours if you need anything, but we’re glad we decided to have\nthis day to help us catch up on our work and to just take a mental breather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Wednesday will be\nour first new comic day in two months! Publishers include DC, Image, Dark\nHorse, IDW, Boom and Dynamite. No Marvels till the 27th. There were also a\nhandful of DC books that got delayed till the 27th at the last minute for\neveryone. This is a good spot for a PSA: remember, the industry has many different\nparts: publishers, printers, creators, distributers and retailers. Pull one\npiece out of the mix and you’re going to have issues. Expect shipments to be\nwonky, but trust us to get you your books! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week’s shipment is still a little light, but it’s a good way to test out the shipping system. Here’s a link to the stuff that’s coming out on Wednesday:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(be advised, we don’t\ncarry everything off of this list, but we do carry just about everything from\nthe major publishers.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have decided to\nextend the 50% off back issue 20% off action figures\/pop funs\/statues sale till\nthe 19th. Why not!!?!? It’ll help stimulate some sales during this ramp up\nweek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be, guaranteed,\nthe last week for this sale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll keep those $5 DC\ngraphic novels out, those did great. We also put up graphic novel staff picks\nif you’re looking for something new to read. (these books are regular price but\ncome with the full backing of the staff member involved.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what ever happened to\nthose cool masks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After we were given a shout out by the Governor during his daily briefing, we were flooded by older people in the neighborhood looking for their free mask. While this helped us to reaffirm our commitment to Westpark, we only had a couple left by the end of the day. We had some more made and we will be giving them out again as we originally intended. Free for our customers who are 65 or older or are immunocompromised. If you fit the bill just ask at the counter! We never intended to sell them and they are not cheap to create. (We were getting emails from all over the state asking for one for free.) Nope, they are for our at risk customers as a sign of our commitment to your well being. If there’s some left after we get them to our regulars we’ll let you know. Here’s the contact for Margaret who makes them for us!<\/a> (and she just got some cool new Marvel fabric in too!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shop local!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re also proud to\nreport that as off Saturday, all part time staff members are back in one\ncapacity or another, even if it’s just sorting dollar stock. (which I hear\nbuilds character.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(CoVid note: photo taken\nlast November during Black Friday)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the goal of the\nPPP loan, to get America back on line as soon as possible, but in a safe manner.\nThat’s the job and we’re doing our best to make it happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks again to all for\nthe understanding this week. You are awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somehow this week this\nlittle ditty popped up from 91′. That makes me older now than mom is in this\npicture. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
