  • Remember those old toys… err, collectibles… your mom vacuumed up when you were a kid? You might find some of them again at Retro Collector ’82’s Booth #1439 if you’re walking the Exhibit Hall floor at WonderCon this year.

  • Artist Nan Hockin is no stranger to Totoro, either. She’s bringing some adorable Totoro ornaments and pins with her to Table #C-38 in Artists’ Alley at WonderCon this year.

  • You’ll know it when you see it; it’s the Last Podcast on the Left at Booth #1500 hanging with Z2 Comics at WonderCon, where they will be conducting signings all weekend with Ben Kissel, Marcus Parks, Henry Zebrowski, and Tom Neely (Friday only). If I’m coming from the other direction, are they the first podcast on the right?

  • She is supposed to be there today. Marilyn Ghigliotti, better known to Clerks fans as Dante’s lasagna-toting, fire extinguisher-wielding, bane of the Chewlie’s Gum Corporation, Veronica, will be at Booth #DL-25 with her lasagna pan special she’s offering right now on her website. We assure you they’re open.

  • Look out! It’s Godzilla! OK, not really, but when you visit Knight Image Designs at WonderCon, you’ll think he and the rest of their brilliant eFX designs are rising out of the bay and coming to eat you.

If you have yet to get tickets to WonderCon 2023, there is still time
