Bob’s Burgers served on a Comic-Con trolley!

Linda Belcher of Bob's Burgers is having a good time among lots of hamburgers.

Here’s another tasty helping of 2018 Comic-Con goodness!

I finally got close-up photos of the Bob’s Burgers wrap on a San Diego trolley. It’s been out there for a few days now, but I was lucky today and encountered it at a Green Line station on my way home!

That makes four different FOX television shows promoted on trolleys this year. At this point, it doesn’t appear to me that ABC will be represented, as they have been in years past.

According to the San Diego Comic-Con Unofficial Blog, there’s an eighth trolley wrap out there as of today waiting to be photographed–one that promotes Conan O’Brien on TBS. He’s bringing his talk show to Comic-Con once again for 2018! I believe he’ll be at the Spreckels Theatre.

I’ll have to go search for that new Conan wrap tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

(For my blog followers who aren’t really into Comic-Con: fear not! I’ll endeavor to photograph some other fun things around San Diego in the days ahead!)

I spotted another FOX trolley wrap for 2018 San Diego Comic-Con! This one promotes the funny show Family Guy, and features Peter and Lois Griffin among a heap of beer cans!

I took these quick photos after running a couple blocks to the City College station a short while ago. I barely caught the trolley before it headed off again.

Enjoy!

I can’t believe how quickly trolley wraps are popping up for 2018 San Diego Comic-Con. The past few days I keep seeing new ones! And Comic-Con is still over a month away!

You might have already seen the three Syfy trolley wraps I’ve photographed, promoting six of their shows with fan art. If not, you can see them here.

Today I spotted a humorous wrap that promotes one of the most popular television shows of all time: The Simpsons! FOX seems to have pretty entertaining trolley wraps every year.

Meanwhile, I’ll keep on looking for more new Comic-Con stuff!

Amusing photos taken around town.

If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

As I walk semi-randomly about town, I’m always looking for amusing or uniquely interesting scenes.

Here are some fun photos…

I like to peek into shop windows whenever I walk through the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego. Many of the windows are sure to have displays that are amusing or eye-catching.

Enjoy these fun photos from this morning!

Fun art on the sidewalk for a rainy day.

According to this morning’s weather report, it’s supposed to rain in San Diego for most of the day. We can always use more water in dry Southern California. But rain, and a bit of a sore throat, means I probably won’t go out walking today.

Meanwhile, here’s some fun artwork that I discovered yesterday while walking through North Park. Both works of art were on the sidewalk in the vicinity of El Cajon Boulevard and 30th Street.

Enjoy!

I'm sorry love, the only rubbish I have time for is in this bin.

Man lifts moon! Shark eats ice cream!

Like the mythical Atlas holding up the Earth, an incredibly strong person single-handedly shoulders the moon.

This morning I was astonished by the strange scene in the parking lot north of the County Administration Building.

I saw an incredible feat of strength, as a man lifted the moon with his shoulders . . .

I saw people engaged in giant pig tipping . . .

And I saw a monstrous shark about to take a bite of a strawberry ice cream cone!

Others might have observed people inflating a bunch of big balloons for the 2017 Holiday Bowl Parade.

I love to walk around Coronado. It’s like taking a small vacation.

In the past I’ve posted all sorts of cool sights around the island. My adventure yesterday along Orange Avenue yielded even more fun photos!

Enjoy!
