Valentine’s may be over, but we’re still very much in love with WonderCon. We’ve got heart-eyes for Toddland’s new Bob’s Burgers shirts, new sketches and prints from artists like Patrick Ballesteros and JYK All Day get our hearts fluttering. Panel announcements? Be still our hearts!
Let’s take a look at what you might have missed:
- Son of a butt! Toddland has a new The Bob’s Burgers Movie shirt they’ll be serving up at WonderCon, but first, they need your help to decide on the final version. Let them know on Twitter which one you hope makes the final menu.
- Toddland will also be bringing back their popular pre-orders for WonderCon. Look for the details soon-ish…. right here.
- There are more panel announcements coming your way, ahead of the full panel schedule reveal on March 10. Up first, Skewed and Reviewed will be part of a panel discussing the future of the Indiana Jones franchise. It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage.
- Then, we’ve got Special Guest Marv Wolfman, who announced that his Spotlight panel will be on Sunday, March 26 from 3pm-4pm PT in Room 211 — and that you can otherwise find him at Artist Alley #B-01.
- Crystal J. Productions, a media talent, revealed that actor Sam Humphrey (The Greatest Showman), content creator and voice actor Jon Bailey (voice of Honest Trailers), and Anthony Lopez (cosplayer) will be appearing at WonderCon. Crystal J. Productions’ post mentions that they are “Special Guests”, but this is a particular designation at WonderCon, and we suspect they may be at the autograph table.

- We’re big fans of Jin Yung Kim, also known as JYK All Day, and that’s why we’re excited to get a peek at some Dragon Ball sketches he’s been working on to bring to the convention at Artists Alley #A-06. We’re even more excited that he’s considering opening up commissions though, so if you want one, be sure to comment on his Instagram post to let him know to open up spots.

- If you haven’t been playing along (and you really should be!), you can probably guess which composer artist Patrick Ballesteros is creating a tribute print for. His love letter to composer John Williams from last year’s San Diego Comic-Con honored not just Williams’ scores, but the classic movie moments that live on in our heads in no small part thanks to the music. This time, he’ll be honoring a different composer.
- Not enough of a hint for you? See what happens when you say “Oingo Boingo” three times. It’s surely better than saying a certain other word.
- New York Times best-selling author and illustrator Rachel Ignotofsky will be at both WonderCon AND San Diego Comic-Con, and we think that’s nifty.
- Get your vegetation fix in over at #SP-36, where the folks behind Joe Plant, a comic about a human/plant hybrid, have a brand new banner to show off.

- Creator Ed Luce showed off a sneak peek at his new Double Negative Collected, which will be debuting at WonderCon. We also love a good snow layer (when it’s digital, at least)!
- Artist Michael “mic?” Magtanong (mic Question, get it?) will be taking us to new heights with their artwork at Artist Alley #F-16.
- Last time, we told you that fantasy author Megan Haskell will be making the trek to WonderCon at Small Press #SP-13. Now, we get to tell you that she’s been busy with restocks ahead of the con, so if you’re looking for a new book, stop by!
- Artist Sean Galloway is also busy prepping for WonderCon, and even picked up a new Square Terminal to see if it will make his WonderCon sales experience even better.
If you have yet to get tickets to WonderCon 2023, there is still time.
