Peanuts at Comic-Con

There will once again be an official Peanuts booth (#1637) at the famed San Diego Comic-Con, which is coming up in a few weeks (July 23-27, to be precise)… although if you’re thinking about going, you are months too late, tickets are long since sold out. The booth will once again be offering exclusive-to-Comic-Con items – each day there will be a free pin giveaway, while supplies last (a different one of Snoopy’s siblings each day.) There’s a Schleich figure of Belle for ten bucks, Peanuts Comic-Con 2014 lanyards in various colors for $4 each (and boy, if there’s ever something that I don’t need to buy, it’s a lanyard. After years of going to conventions… well, let’s just say if there’s ever a severe lanyard shortage, I’m sitting on a gold mine!) And then there’s the t-shirts, and there’s usually at least one particularly nice design in the batch. Here are this year’s:

PEANUTSshirts

You can see all of the Peanuts exclusives here.

The panel list has yet to be announced, so I don’t know if there are any Peanuts panels. I’ll be doing a non-Peanuts panel on Friday, which will probably be my only day at the con. (If anyone has reason to talk to me, let me know!)
