With a mere 36 days until SDCC 2017, The SDCC Unofficial Blog is pleased to present a double-shot of UTT today. We couldn’t contain all the yummy SDCC news in one post, so you will be treated with two editions of Under the Tents today. Let’s jump right into the first of our “Twofer Tuesday” posts.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- Our last UTT had some great Wynonna Earp news, so why don’t we keep that trend going? Wynonna Earp creator Beau Smith posted that he will be at SDCC this year with the rest of the cast. There’s still no further information on the party or panel, but we’re seeing some great additions to those who are actually attending.
I will be with the cast at #SDCC looking forward to the fun we all had last year. 🤠#WynonnaEarp #Earpers

- Do you believe that Wash lives? When you drive, are you a leaf on the wind? If so, the California Browncoats need your help. They’re looking for volunteers for SDCC 2017 to help them set up/tear down, sell merch, solicit donations, run charity drawings, and maybe manage a line or two if a celebrity signer shows up at Booth #A-07/A-08. They’re only asking for a one-hour commitment, and for that, you’ll get discounts on whatever merch they have at the booth. If you’d like to volunteer, fill out their form here. They can’t provide you with an SDCC badge, though, so you’ll need to have one of those if you’re interested. If you’re joining their crew, make sure you fill out your form by 6PM PT July 12.
- Artist Rosemary Reeve screams for an ice cream texture, which she gave to her “Ice Cream Kitty” she’ll have at SDCC 2017.
#IceCreamKitty was painted with "chalky finish" paints to give her an ice cream texture! #sdcc #artshow #tmnt @tmnt #sdcc17 @tOkka pic.twitter.com/CLtTEgun8v

- SDCC mainstay Felicia Day is everywhere these days. Her Comic-Con schedule is often pretty packed, but she tweeted that she and other members of The Guild will be having a signing sometime Friday afternoon. Details are still coming, but we are pretty confident this will be happening in the Sails Pavilion with the rest of the autographs.
We are having a signing in the autograph area on site on Friday late afternoon. Details tba!

- There has been an awakening. Have you felt it? The San Diego Star Wars Society certainly has. For the 16th year in a row, the Lucasfilm-approved charitable organization will have their Star Wars fan table set up at SDCC this year.
- You’ve heard us mention Kymera Press in regards to SDCC many times with their Pet Noir series. They’re not all about fluffy kitties, however. The prolific artists and writers at Kymera Press will also have Issues 7 and 8 of their Gates of Midnight series debuting at SDCC this year.

- Toy designer Dollar Slice Bootleg gave a first look at at a Junkie The Krusty Clown SDCC exclusive which will be available through DKE.
- Spam and ramen seem like an unlikely combination. Even Monty Python’s Flying Circus might balk a little at the thought. But artist Nan Hockin will be offering both as enamel pins when she comes to SDCC this year.

- Hide your Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator. It looks like Funko is sending out some blank models for artists to customize again this year. Sonny Liew appears to have the task of customizing Looney Tunes favorite Marvin the Martian. Hopefully, he’ll bring the Pop! with him to SDCC but leave the earth-shattering kaboom behind.
