Now that you’ve had a chance to digest Wednesday and Thursday’s SDCC schedule, let’s see what else is going on in San Diego Comic-Con news. This edition of Under the Tents has more artists opening their commissions, signing work, and a lot more.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- Break out the Aqua Net – Funko revealed their theme for this year’s Fundays party: 80’s Prom. It’s gonna be, like, totally tubular! For real! Best of all, for those who didn’t luck out on a ticket, the event will be live-streamed.
- Artist Janet Lee is warming up her decoupage skills for SDCC. Look for her in Artists Alley at Table #EE-05.
Right now, all my warm-ups are mini-decoupage pieces for #SDCC And Nebula totally hangs out with octopuses and cats. pic.twitter.com/72X5qJd05X

- Second chances don’t come too often, but our good friend Arnel Baluyot, better known as Ninjabot, is giving everyone who stops by Table #L-08 in Small Press another chance to pick up his 2014 SDCC exclusive print.
🚨I JUST FOUND SOME ARTIST PROOFS OF MY SDCC14 EXCLUSIVES! 🚨

- It looks like MunkyKing Toys poked the bear, woke him up, and made him bee-yond angry. Watch out for him if you’re anywhere near Booth #4851.
