Amusing license plates at downtown Hodad’s!

The windows in front of the Hodad’s restaurant in downtown San Diego are filled with amusing customized license plates!

The other day, as I walked down Broadway, I paused to take these fun photographs!

The holiday Grinch Tree comes down!

You know the holiday season in San Diego is over when the Grinch Tree comes down outside the Old Globe in Balboa Park!

The joyful Christmas tree, with its candelabras, horns, wreaths and happy Whoville characters, was disassembled today and promptly hustled away. The Grinch, that old grouch, would applaud its disappearance!

What’s with that funny monkey mask atop the boxes? I was told by two of the smiling Grinch Tree disassemblers that the monkey face was embedded inside the tree. I don’t know if they were pulling my leg. For real? I asked. Yes, I was assured.

I suppose next holiday season, I’ll have to peer into the tree more closely!

Santa races speedster in Balboa Park!

Santa Claus raced from the North Pole into Balboa Park this morning in his uniquely built Model T speedster!

Jolly Old Saint Nick then pulled into the parking lot by the San Diego Automotive Museum for the monthly Cars and Coffee event.

Apparently there was a need for speed and Santa was delivering a wrapped present early. Someone must have made the Very, Very Nice list.

Funny sayings on the Imperial Beach Pier!

HAPPINESS COMES IN WAVES

Walk along the Imperial Beach Pier and you’ll find humorous signs at intervals on either railing. Many of the signs, placed by the Port of San Diego and City of Imperial Beach, feature witty sayings and puns that relate to activities on and under the pier.

I asked a friendly lady at the Tin Fish restaurant at the end of the pier when these signs debuted. She told me five or six months ago.

I photographed many of the clever sayings, but not all. You’ll have to wander down the pier to see them all yourself!

Searching for the Holy Grail in San Diego!

King Arthur and his squire, Patsy, were observed searching for the Holy Grail in San Diego today. Clippety-clop. Clippety-clop down Fifth Avenue…

Arthur seems to think somebody or something is following him…

Oh, no! It’s the deadly Rabbit of Caerbannog! Did anyone bother to bring the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch to San Diego?

Oh, noooo! In addition, there’s one of those Knights Who Say “Ni!” I wonder if Tim the Enchanter will do anything useful…

Thank goodness. Somebody had the foresight to give that strange fellow a shrubbery…

Bad news! The Black Knight is in fighting trim. Three limbs left!

What’s better than cartoons on Saturday morning? Comic-Con!

Inspector Gadget and Gamisodes have descended on San Diego for Comic-Con 2023!

Could anything possibly be better than those Saturday cartoons you watched as a kid?

Yes! Saturday morning at Comic-Con!

Alvin. Alvin! ALVIN!!!

This dog was unimpressed by cartoon Snoopy.

You won’t see this on Saturday morning television!

People download a game to gain a donut.

Cool guy from Zander Comix has appeared at other San Diego events!

These guys with the creepy heads informed me they’re from Cinema Makeup School in Los Angeles.

Speaking of peculiar heads. Perhaps the Jack in the Box character could star in a fun cartoon.

Heading over Harbor Drive toward the area behind the San Diego Convention Center on Saturday morning of Comic-Con.

News flash! Harley Back At Arkham! Why do lunatics always run the insane asylum?

Huh? I thought the pandemic was over.

I told you this is fun, didn’t I?

Where else can you stand in line with a dinosaur?

These unsuspecting people will soon be transformed into two dimensional cartoons themselves!

Hopefully the Planet Express doesn’t fire up its engine.

Burgers on a Saturday morning? Why not.

Voodoo Ranger beer on a Saturday morning? Too early for me.

Someone here is determined to make the most of Saturday morning.

A guard permitted me to take a photo of the back of the Only Murders in the Building activation. Two hour wait line. I’ll try later perhaps…

Saturday morning breakfast to go.

This is what fun looks like!

Waiting at Grand Central-42 Street Station. Might be a long while before transportation arrives.

Four strange beings have emerged through the Quantum Leap portal.

Nelvin of the Union Tribune documents another lifeform that must have come through that portal.

Hellfire Clubbers no doubt recovering from a party late Friday.

Someone should mention something to this unsuspecting guy.

Yikes! This shark must get more respect than Jabberjaw. Some of you older folks remember Jabberjaw, right?

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Funny characters runs amok inside the Omni!

Dozens of funny characters are running amok inside the Omni San Diego hotel. They’re swarming up the columns near the front desk and crowding about the elevators in the lobby. They’re even inside the elevators! Amused hotel guests can’t avoid them!

But what do you expect when it’s Comic-Con 2023, and FOX’s Animation Domination has taken over the Omni?

Deep fried EVERYTHING at the County Fair?

Is there anything edible not deep fried at the San Diego County Fair? Walk past the endless food stands and it might seem that way!

Of course, there are many non-deep fried offerings everywhere you turn at the fair, like burritos, hot dogs, hamburgers, barbeque, turkey legs, cinnamon rolls or ice cream. But who hasn’t made a joke about the numerous, sometimes bizarre deep fried treats that might tempt curious fairgoers?

Deep fried pizza.

Deep fried decadence: Mexican funnel cakes.

Totally fried Oreo.

Fried s’mores on a stick.

Fried shrimp with French fries.

Totally fried avocados.

Totally fried Twinkies.

Fried chicken, of course.

Fried veggies. (Is that more healthy?)

Bacon wrapped pickle totally fried!

Deep fried pork sandwich.

Yum!

Lip smacking good!

Where’s my bottle of antacid?

A second side to the Futurama trolley wrap!

Look what I discovered today on my way home from work. There’s a second side to the Futurama trolley wrap that recently debuted for San Diego Comic-Con 2023!

I photographed the first side of Hulu’s promotional wrap yesterday and posted those photos here. On this second side there are four more crazy Futurama characters!

I see Amy Wong, Hermes Conrad, Kif Kroker and Professor Farnsworth!

Comic-Con 2023 is now only a month away! As I continue to discover cool Comic-Con sights, I’ll share them. Stay tuned for more pop culture fun!
