We’ve reached our home stretch – it’s Comic-Con month! With SDCC so close, we’re being flooded with all kinds of great news from Toddland, Berkely Breathed’s Bloom County, Camilla d’Errico, Alex Ross, and so much more. And of course, we have crochet!
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- Our good friends at Toddland are going to have a lot to offer at Booth #4429 this year (it’s twice the size of their booth last year for a reason, trust us). Find Pickle Bob among their awesomeness and free swag.

- If you grew up in the 1980s or 1990s, you grew up with Berkeley Breathed’s Bloom County and Outland comic strips. Over the last few years, he’s resurrected his beloved characters, such as Opus the Penguin, Bill the Cat, Steve Dallas, Milo, and Binkley. Breathed is returning to SDCC this year with new Bloom County collections as well as reprints of his older work. Stay tuned for details on his signing times and locations.
- Canadian artist Camilla d’Errico is celebrating Canada Day by finishing her Sea Bunny to add to her “Surreal Safari” SDCC series. The entire series (as well as d’Errico) will be at Booth #4723 in the Exhibit Hall.

- There has been an awakening, and you’re going to feel it when you stop by Ninjabot’s Small Press Booth #L-08. His Star Wars Stamp Collection may not send a postcard, but they will help bring balance to the Force in your home.

- Trooper. Storm Trooper. While we’re pretty sure James Bond was more accurate with his Walther PPK, this 007 Stormtrooper canvas from Daniel Jaimes certainly gives the Imperial Foot Soldier an element of class.
