Look who I spotted today picking up trash outside San Diego Comic-Con. Lila and Corey Cleary-Stoner, also known as CleanUp Kitsune!
CleanUp Kitsune combines performance art while wearing full Japanese costume. You’ve quite possibly seen them leading clean ups in Balboa Park. For example, here.
Hello you two! Thank you for all you do! Great to see you again!

A super fun offsite activation at Comic-Con 2026 takes place outside the Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel. It promotes the upcoming release of the Nintendo Switch Sports Resort video game!
The wait wasn’t too long today, made more entertaining by competition between Comic-Con fans on a big outdoor screen.
Once inside, we could sample playing the twelve sports featured in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. Friendly staff show you how.
From archery to thumb wrestling to 100 pin bowling, the motion control sports are a lot of fun!
When you exit, you score a cool visor, too!
Some pics to provide a taste…

It’s Saturday morning in San Diego. Not your ordinary morning. Comic-Con 2026 has taken over the city!
Here come photographs from my morning walk outside the San Diego Convention Center.
Cosplay, fun sights, a mysterious activation setting up, workers cleaning yesterday’s mess, staff arriving, an endless Hall H line…
(Did you know today is National Hot Fudge Sundae Day?)
Yes, the Hall H line stretches forever. Star Trek and the big Marvel panels today!

Peanuts is back for another San Diego Comic-Con. As before, their offsite in 2026 is on MLK Promenade across from the San Diego Convention Center. With its big Snoopy graphics, you can’t miss it!
Lovers of Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang will enjoy photo ops, but more importantly, exclusive merchandise.
You can “adopt” one or all of Snoopy’s siblings: Spike, Belle, Olaf, Marbles and Andy! The plush dogs for purchase even come with adoption papers, I was told!

While walking through the Gaslamp Quarter this afternoon, I suddenly felt cold despair. Something terrible was creeping up behind me.
I turned.
Black cloaked figures were slowly, inexorably approaching.
The Nazgûl. Ringwraiths. Fallen kings who chilled their victims with Black Breath.
Comic-Con goers looked on in dismay. Took photos.
Oh–I get it. These guys were merely promoting The Rings of Power.

Dinosaurs have suddenly appeared in San Diego! They’ve emerged from the fountain in front of the Marriott Marquis, which is rumored to have an opening that leads to the center of the Earth!
By sheer coincidence, the dinosaurs have made their appearance during Comic-Con!
Oh my gosh! It looks like they’re awfully fierce!
Fierce for an inflatable dino, that is.
