Oh sorry I had a few weeks built up (still was only like 2 books) plus I added an action figure. I had not been there in a while and I think they did get last week's books. Doubt they got this weeks

One thing is we, as comic club members, are paying our current pull lists by phone, so that the shop has some kind of revenue stream, with the idea that if and when they reopen, we can pick up our stuff when the dust settles.

Yeah man if my shop folds then I am out, maybe the odd trade here or there, if they still exist. Those dudes are cool and one of the last in town.

Fuck, even if we do get over this by the end of the month (spoilers: we won't), I do not even feel comfortable going to Motor City Con in mid May. I have not missed a con in...god damn I can't even remember.

Oh, nevermind. I see that Lou was saying until the end of April now.

 

I have a feeling it will be longer than that.

Trump set social distance guideline to the end of the month. Michigan is shut down til Easter. So not really sure when we’ll be able to move freely about the place 

That's brilliant

Thanks Tony I’ll try that 

I take that back. Half way into day 2 and I want to punt the other two inhabitants of this house into the sun.

That is amazing, John.

WFH day 2. Has not been too bad. Have some distractions with the boy and maybe some motivational issues. But you can get a lot more done when you're not commuting 1 or more hours each day, showering, getting dressed lol. Just wake up and roll over to the computer and see what's up

We're shut down for 3 weeks. I hope the shop can survive. As John said, the weekly trip is a big deal. It's always huge to talk shop with those guys

You too, CC.

Or stores stay afloat

Hello Brother. Stay well, ok?

 

Max is five, so he is past the really difficult age, imagine if this was happening and he was three still

 

 

Will do. You too, my friend.

This is so true. He was a fucking terror at 2 and 3. He has matured SO much. My wife and I were just remarking that we are glad this did not happen when he was younger.

My biggest concern is that my son (5 years old in May) was making great headway into social development through school, his  first year. Now I feel that some of that is stunted. There's a lot of bad manners we broke a while ago that I see manifesting again. He needs to have teachers, peers, friends, other folks to steer him a bit. He'll only listen to Ma and Pa so much.

Great post a couple posts back there, CC. Spot on.

WE ARE THE VIRUS

Seems to me that a lot of the things that the media work us into believing to be important, in reality, are not.

Best wishes to you and your Ma, Tony

Burn it to the fucking ground

And all the while denouncing 'democratic socialism'. Assholes, the whole lot of them.

Spot on, CC.

On Sundays I shop for the food and items we need for  the week, and gas both vehicles fully. Rinse and repeat.

This time around I have no choice but to buy extra, in an already cleaned out store, just to be able to get by as we normally would, thanks to panic buying. My wife was shopping today and already staff were pulling out stuff to fill shelves so I'd imagine by Sunday things will be mostly normal. 

Hell yes, I love that crazy mofo

Barbalien: Red Planet is the nest series.

Jeff Lemire's name is on it but on his Instagram he says it is written by Tate Brombel and illustrated by Gabriel Walta and Jordie Bellaire, so not sure if he is co-writing or plotting or what

Trees did not quite grab me either. Injection was awesome though, so that's a bummer. The characters were so cool! 

Yeah it might cost be a few hundred bucks, I get pissed when the power's out and threaten to buy one, then the power goes back on and I do a happy dance and I forget lol

I'm certainly no doomsday prepper, but an extra case of water and canned goods and a good propane stove couldn't hurt to have laying around just in case. We had a grid go down some years back and it knocked the power out for maybe 3 days. It was some tough sledding to get gas, water, anything. Can't get caught with my pants down like that again now that I have a son. I'm more concerned with that than some virus panic. I keep threatening to get a generator too
