As San Diego Comic-Con 2015 draws closer, more and more information has been pouring in. It is never too soon to start planning.  Stay organized, and a great way to do that is with spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are your friends. You could have one for exclusives you are interested in, booths you want to check out, programming and signings you want to attend, etc.

In this edition of Under the Tents we have a ton of information to fill up those spreadsheets with. Let’s start with exclusives. This edition covers exclusives from BeeFy & Co, Jack and the Zombie Attack, and Aphrodite IX.  Next, there are appearances. Some of those appearances include webcomic Dumbing or Age, Tola Lotay, Kamite Comix, Skottie Young, and more.  Lastly there are the booths. This year we know there will be booths for Armando Huerta and Thinkgeek. And lastly we have info on increased trolley security and more crocheted creatures by The Geeky Hooker.  Read on for the latest info on SDCC 2015.

Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:

• The Dumbing of Age webcomic lists SDCC on it’s convention appearances website page.  The comic is a coming of age story of freshman girls in co-ed dorm at Indiana University.

• Beefy & Co. added a picture to their Instagram featuring an SDCC exclusive plush Paiju.  This will be the first with a new rotating head feature. BeeFy & Co. are known as urban designers of vinyl toys, pop art and apparels.

• Illustrator Tola Lotay posted on Twitter that she will be at San Diego Comic-Con this summer where she will be selling copies of her artbook as well as doing signings. She will be there with various publishers and will post times and table info as it comes available.

@TheComicSource Yes… most definitely. I'm in San Diego… so it would be a crime for me to miss the convention. :}

• HulGreen Productions posted on their Facebook that they will be at SDCC again.  HulGreen makes The Bang and Bump Show puppet show.
• The Geeky Hooker has announced on Twitter that she is at it again.  She plans to drop more crocheted creations this year at SDCC 2015. She randomly hides them in or around the convention center. To join the hunt, follow her on either Twitter or Facebook to track the drops during the convention. Here is a picture of some of the past cuties:

So SDCC is in 4 months. I should *probably* get started on critters before I end up in a carpal tunnel-ridden mess 2 weeks before the event.

• A tweet from the DeLaurentiis Company, the production company behind Hannibal, stated that so far there has been no official invitation yet for Hannibal to attend San Diego Comic-Con 2015, but that it’s still early to know for sure.  Fingers crossed!

@kimikoon Hello! I am planning on attending SDCC, but I don't know if I will be selling there yet. We can arrange a meetup for sure tho! 🙂

• Cartoonist Skottie Young replied on Twitter that he will be at SDCC, but whether or not he will be signing is up in the air.  His style is very unique, but the Marvel babies are my personal favorite.

@Mugsy211 I think so. Not sure of the details yet.
