SDCC Unofficial Blog

#SDCC Artists' Alley resident Vince Alvendia (@EggdropRamen) surprised us and reopened his SDCC 2026 commissions a little early. We'd complain, but he's so nice, and we can't stay mad at him: sdccblog.com/2026/04/list-o…

Have you ever wanted a commission from @PatrickBallest? Today might just be your lucky day, as he is opening #SDCC commission slots at 5pm PT today — here's how to get on his list: sdccblog.com/2026/04/patric…

@SDCCWackyWags @Z2comics Both yours and @BavarianErin's!

@SD_Comic_Con @Z2comics My grunge little Gen-X heart just skipped a beat.

#PearlJam guitarist Mike McCready is heading to #SDCC to promote his upcoming @Z2comics graphic novel and "lost" rock opera album: sdccblog.com/2026/04/pearl-…

@MajinBobo0x @SeanForneyArt Not yet. Last year the map/list didn't come out until July.

@SD_Comic_Con @SeanForneyArt Is there a whole list of vendors that will be there this year, yet?

But wait, there's more. Artists' Alley mainstay @SeanForneyArt also opened his #SDCC 2206 commissions today: sdccblog.com/2026/04/list-o…

But wait, we're not through! Artist Jamie Snell has also opened #SDCC commissions: sdccblog.com/2026/04/list-o…

The folks at @comixartconnect are Pooling their resources (see what we did there?) and announcing their #SDCC 2026 commission openings, including @GeorgeKambadais, @TylerLenaz, @PasqualeQualano and more: sdccblog.com/2026/04/list-o…

Are you a student in California looking for a place to stay in San Diego during #SDCC? UC San Diego is once again offering affordable lodging options: sdccblog.com/2026/04/uc-san…

@eric_shoeman87 @CatCafeSanDiego More or less! You'll get checked in and you get a complimentary food or drink item from their menu, then they let you through to play with the cats who can wander. Here's their "How It Works" page: catcafesd.com/about-us

@SD_Comic_Con @CatCafeSanDiego Never heard of it. How does it work? I buy a ticket to sit and buy lunch with cats walking around?

Meow! Need a break from the chaos of #SDCC? @CatCafeSanDiego is bringing back their Kitties & Coffee for SDCC 2026 — reservations now open for Wednesday-Monday (one day longer than usual!): sdccblog.com/events-default…

@noz4a2 @CatCafeSanDiego They're a great place to take a break!

@SD_Comic_Con @CatCafeSanDiego I have yet to make it to that cafe

@misty21 We've attended Fundays many times and had a great time! But treasure hunts on influencer videos that ultimately don't lead to an answer is not my idea of fun, personally.

@SD_Comic_Con Killing the joy, personally I love Fundays.

Let us save you watching these videos: They don't tell you the theme, but it looks to be pirates (again) or Atlantis. But there you go. #SDCC #Fundays

@jerrysgotpops @griStdoG Noooo it was great, thank you for doing that!

@SD_Comic_Con @griStdoG LOL I thought we would all put it in the caption 😂

@natedigad Here it is: instagram.com/p/DWrUvMOCPhJ/

@SD_Comic_Con I thank you. I’ll go look for the last one. Haha I got halfway through the second one earlier before I got distracted. haha

@griStdoG Bless the guy who just put the keyword in his caption!

@SD_Comic_Con At least you BBC could do it with the sound off 🤣

@griStdoG Yep, I watched them.

@SD_Comic_Con Ancient Water Mermaid Fish Explore Magical Lost Glow in the dark

@natedigad I watched it for you. Don't do it. (But the last one is actually kind of legitimately cute)

@SD_Comic_Con I started them earlier…
