I can’t believe it! There’s yet another trolley wrap for 2018 San Diego Comic-Con! That makes nine designs that I’ve spotted so far, with about a month still to go! There are three wraps for Syfy (each promoting two shows), four for FOX, and now two for TBS.
This fun trolley wrap promotes Season 1 of Final Space which is now available on the TBS App.
Enjoy some photos!

Comic-Con banners have been hung inside the Federal Building in Balboa Park, former home to the Hall of Champions, and future home to the Comic-Con Center for Popular Culture!
Look what I spied today!
Just before noon I entered the Federal Building in Balboa Park–former home to the Hall of Champions, and future home of the museum-like Comic-Con Center for Popular Culture. My stomach was grumbling, demanding a cheeseburger from the Home Plate Cafe, where I often eat lunch on Sundays. (While most of the Federal Building is now vacant, the cafe remains open just inside the historic building’s entrance.)
Being tall, I peered over a partition that runs along the perimeter of the old Hall of Champions lobby, and look what I saw!
Several Comic-Con banners have recently been hung inside the building!
According to what I’ve read, the Comic-Con Center for Popular Culture will open in 2019, but funds still need to be raised. It’s my understanding that sales of the exclusive Comic-Con 2018 Mondo print will be part of the fundraising effort.
I don’t know if an event of some kind will be held in the Federal Building during 2018 Comic-Con. Whatever the reason for the recent appearance of Comic-Con banners–it’s definitely a cool sight that got me excited!

UPDATE!
In early 2019, during an event at the site of the future Comic-Con Museum, I learned the finished museum is scheduled to open in May 2021!

With the appearance of this year’s Comic-Con trolley wraps, many people I speak to are starting to get excited.
Now that I’m thinking about Comic-Con, too, it has occurred to me that over the years my blog has featured lots of photos concerning one of the absolute biggest franchises in pop culture: Star Wars!
I’ve rounded up a bunch of links that would be fun to check out. You’ll find unique photos of Star Wars artwork, models, cosplay, and even some humorous Star Wars street art!
Conan O’Brien flies a jet pack on a 2018 San Diego Comic-Con trolley!
I got photos of the Conan O’Brien trolley wrap that debuted yesterday in San Diego for 2018 Comic-Con. Sorry the photos are a bit bright. Our nearest star was shining very brightly this morning!
Here they are!

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 found another cool trolley wrap for the upcoming 2018 San Diego Comic-Con! This one promotes The Gifted on FOX with the word PERSIST written above the show’s name. I haven’t been watching The Gifted, so someone might leave a comment with an explanation.
I do know the show is connected to Marvel’s popular X-Men, with young characters who develop mutant powers. They have to survive in a world where mutants are feared and considered dangerous.
Enjoy some photos!

A Family Guy trolley wrap has appeared for 2018 San Diego Comic-Con!
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!

Marge Simpson has found herself in a sugary mess on a San Diego Trolley wrap that promotes The Simpsons during 2018 Comic-Con!
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!

I can’t believe how quickly the years pass by. It feels 2017 San Diego Comic-Con happened only yesterday!
Just for fun, I’ve been reviewing my blog posts from last year. It was amazing. So much fantastic stuff going on. Running like a crazy person around downtown taking hundreds of photos almost wore me out, but what an incredible, unforgettable experience!
Would you like to revisit some of the cool cosplay and fun activities outside Comic-Con in 2017?

The first trolley wrap for 2018 San Diego Comic-Con features two Syfy shows–Krypton and HAPPY!
More than a month to go until 2018 San Diego Comic-Con and trolleys are already getting wrapped! A record 40 or more trolley cars will feature Comic-Con graphics this year, according to MTS!
I spotted the very first wrap this morning at the Little Italy station! Here are my quick photos!
It appears Syfy will be returning to San Diego Comic-Con in a big way in 2018. The wrap promotes two of their shows: Krypton and HAPPY! Both series have been renewed for a second season.
I noticed that Syfy’s slogan from last year–It’s a Fan Thing–is being referenced once again. On this trolley the words read: It’s a Fan Made Thing.
The Krypton art was created by Moritat, a comic book creator who has done some work for DC.
The HAPPY! trolley art was created by a fan named Alyssa Veysey. You can see her personal DeviantArt page, including the HAPPY! trolley artwork, here.
Because I live in downtown San Diego, I plan to take hundreds of photos during Comic-Con, as I’ve done the past few years!
Stay tuned!

A couple days later, and I’ve spotted a second San Diego Comic-Con trolley wrap that promotes the two Syfy shows The Magicians and Wynonna Earp.
I got some photos!
