Under the Tents: Bill Robinson, Cartoon Art Museum, Sean Forney, Val Hochberg

I read the news today, oh, boy… While this edition of Under the Tents doesn’t have news about the Albert Hall, we do have great SDCC news from Val Hochberg, the Cartoon Art Museum, Bill Robinson, and a lot more.

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