Under the Tents 2026: Flat Bonnie, Erik Li, Unknown Comics

This one’s gonna be real short, because I’m in San Diego, and we are transitioning to on-the-ground coverage, except for the biggest of news. So for all of our millions of small updates: We love you, but there is unfortunately only so many hours in a day.

So, let’s get right to it!!!!!!!!! OUR FINAL “UNDER THE TENTS” OF THE YEAR!!!!!

Here’s a look at what you might have missed:

As Sombr once sang (or at least, as millions misheard him sing), “I just want a capybara, capybara…” If you, too, just want a capybara, you can pick up Flat Bonnie’s “Smol Unimpressed Capy” handmade plush at Giant Robot #1729.

Swim over to Booth #F-05 in Small Press for signed copies of Big Shark on Blu-ray, the Big Shark children’s book and coloring book, plus signed copies of The Room on Blu-ray, The Room script, and more from Wiseau’s wonderfully bizarre filmography.
