Today’s edition of Under the Dinner Tables is mostly focused on the exhibit show floor — which is almost fully baked. Exhibitors received their booth and table placements, which hopefully means the rest of us will get a look at the full menu soon. But whatever your palette — be it comic writers and artists, literary authors, Squid Game, sports, or more — we have something for you.
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
- Artist Jin Yung Kim, also known as JYK All Day, has created a new piece in his Pop Wagons collection, which showcases pop culture characters and their rides (or imagined rides). You can pick up this Squid Game piece at Comic-Con Special Edition — and you don’t even have to play Red Light, Green Light to score.

- Comics writer Alex Chung, best known for his work on Buckets, Zayra, and more, hinted that he could be at the convention this November. Will he be on a panel? At a booth? We’ll have to wait to find out.
Yeah, I usually get my flu shot around this time. And I guess that’s good timing because I’m still on track to do that San Diego Comic Con Special Edition show.
