I happened to walk up to a Bob’s Burgers cosplay meet-up for Comic-Con 2026 while wandering near the Hilton Bayfront this afternoon.
I got these fun photos of Bob’s Burgers characters having a great time…

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.

A cool photoshoot was held today of One Piece character cosplay. The participants gathered in front of the Marriott Marquis in San Diego, on this first day of Comic-Con 2026.
It was funny how a few cosplayers from different fandoms were present as everyone gathered. Then the dedicated One Piece characters were wrangled into place and posed as one in their big group photo.
Who do you recognize?

The first full day of Comic-Con 2026 and it’s just as wild and wonderful as ever!
People everywhere. Lines everywhere. Cosplay appearing more often. Excitement at a fever pitch!
The offsites are mostly ready. Two exceptions I noted are Nickelodeon and Apple TV’s silo.
Here we go! I took these photographs Thursday morning…
Donut Bar donuts are ready in the Gaslamp outside the Pendry. Eat a superhero, anime or Pokémon treat!
I was wondering about this Victorian, snow fringed offsite. It’s the office of Scrooge and Marley! Looks like the ghost of Marley has appeared on the doorknob…
Yikes! A xenomorph! Don’t let it attach to your face!
Swag awaits passengers at the 12th and Imperial trolley station pop-up…
Yes. Lots of people…

PAWmicon was held today in Balboa Park. The fun event raises funds for the Helen Woodward Animal Center.
Dogs and their human friends converged on the park, many wearing costumes. Yes, there were many superheroes. Villains, too!
I saw Krypto, Wonder Dog, Bat Dog, a scary four-legged alien, Bark Vader, a canine Homelander…

Star Wars Book Night was held this evening at the Ronald McDonald House in San Diego!
An epic group of Star Wars cosplayers gathered for this “May the Fourth” event, and it all was for an extremely good cause. Children at the Ronald McDonald House got to take photos with favorite Star Wars characters, grab a bunch of books, and even enjoy stories read aloud by assorted Mandalorians and friends! Grogu was there, too!
The Ronald McDonald House San Diego operates as a home away from home for families of seriously ill children who are being treated at nearby Rady Children’s Hospital.
This super fun charitable event was brought to life by costumed members of the Legacy Cosplay Society, and by the good people of Char Car.
You might remember I blogged about Char Car back during the Holiday Bowl Parade. Dr. Elizabeth and Ron Valles have dedicated themselves to promoting literacy and spreading happiness by distributing and reading books to kids.
Char Car, to acquire books, engages in special fundraisers–for example with the San Diego Gulls hockey team. Here’s their Instagram page if you’d like to learn more and follow them!
Okay! This is what I saw as I arrived at Ronald McDonald House…
Star Wars cosplayers gathered for a very good cause. They stood behind a long table full of books and toys that kids at Ronald McDonald House could take and enjoy!
Lots of super cool Star Wars cosplay by young and old alike!
Dr. Elizabeth Valles (the Grammylorian) and Ron Valles with Char Car helpers. Thank you for being on the compassionate Light Side of The Force and making the world a better place!
