Monkey Minion, the husband-and-wife creative team of Dane Ault and Ashlie Hammond, is returning to San Diego Comic-Con with another collection of beautifully designed prints, pins, and more. Their artwork celebrates the intersection of science, nature, astronomy, and pop culture, and the duo has built a devoted following thanks to their distinctive mid-century-inspired aesthetic, bold colors, and clever ability to make everything from national parks to solar systems feel equally at home on a print.
This year, they’ll once again be set up at Booth #2007, where fans can browse a new lineup of San Diego Comic-Con exclusives, debuts, and returning favorites.

He rocks in the treetops all day long… and now he’s ready to rock Comic-Con.
Monkey Minion is giving the classic “Rockin’ Robin” tune a line of tongue-in-cheek merchandise inspired by the feathered frontman. Pick up a limited edition concert poster paired with a hand-stamped, numbered ticket ($50, limited to 100 sets), location-specific concert postcards ($5), and a 15 oz. commemorative tour mug ($25).
Fans who make any Borb-related purchase will also receive a free “general admission” concert ticket, while supplies last.
