Hey, Folks!
Okay, now, don’t laugh at me, but I was honestly stunned to be reminded on Tuesday that Thanksgiving is next week. How exactly did THAT happen!?! I mean, here I am just getting over the fact that Halloween is behind us and I look up in shock to see that Thanksgiving is looming over me like a zombie turkey with a hungry look in its eyes. I used to make fun of “old” people (mostly Steve) constantly going on about how much faster time goes by when you get older. Now I see the truth and it is truly horrifying. Is there a “slow down” button anywhere that I am not seeing?
Anyway, so Thanksgiving is coming which naturally means that Black Friday is on its way as well. Back in the Old Days Steve never liked having sales and I never really considered Black Friday as much of a draw for us, mostly because we are located so far from all of the in person shopping hubs in the Toledo area. I figured the stores in the Franklin Park mall area would be the ones who would most benefit from a big Black Friday sale. At some point, however, I decided that it would be worth trying. I don’t even remember why now, although it was probably around the time that I stopped hosting big Thanksgiving dinners at my house and therefore had no good reason not to be in the store on the day after Thanksgiving. In any case, Steve and I started running Black Friday Sales and they were very well attended and turned into one of the biggest grossing store days in November. In retrospect, it was a no brainer and we should have instituted it years before then. Now it is a very solid tradition and Brian and I will be bringing it to you again next week! So, without further blathering, I give you the 2022 Monarch Comics Black Friday Sale…

That’s it for me this week, Folks! Please don’t ask me about the whole Taylor Swift ticket thing, it is simply too depressing to discuss. If you have any old gypsy curses to throw around, however, I would be quite happy for Ticketmaster to be its recipient. Have a great week and I hope to see you in the stoer next week for the big sale…😊
