Jeff's Covid Update & Media Discussion

Hey everybody, it’s Jeff. I’ve got COVID and nobody will look at me…. I’m like a Pariah! The only person I can imagine spending time with me at this point would be Jesus, because he was super into hanging out with the lepers and stuff….

I’ve bot COVID and I’m lonely, and I miss being at the shop. So I thought I’d self-indulgently record with my stuffed Bear, a summary of what I’ve been watching.

I love you all, I miss you, and if you want to say “HI!” send an email to Jeff@thecomicsplace.com
