Creator's Key Takeaways
Honestly, every year the uh the freebies at Comic-Con get worse and worse. Don't really come here to expect you're going to get a lot of free stuff cuz people just wait around for it.
I've yet to bring my 5-year-old daughter, the Curious Princess, here cuz I don't want her to get lost. I do not want to be the one responsible for getting her lost at uh San Comic Con.
The big cosplay days are Friday and Saturday. If you're coming to the con and you want to look for cosplay, we've got some uh fantastic for merch over here.
Comic-Con is the home. Really big bags. And look, there's a there's a big there's a big anime cat.
