MARCHIN' ON TO WONDERCON!!!

 

Welcome to March 2026 my CRAZIES!!!  We are just WEEKS away from WonderCon 2026, and excitement here at the CRAZYVERSE is reaching critically dangerous levels!  My room is booked, my restaurant tables are reserved and I am currently working hard to get into Con shape!  I am eating insane amounts of M&M's and Doritos while guzzling gallons of Code Red Mountain Dew.  Sure, this is killing my liver while adding extra stress to my heart, but comic conventions are worth the future health risks!  Anyway, y'all came here for some past WonderCon pics, and your old Uncle CRAZY'S gonna deliver!  This week, we head back to 2019, the final WonderCon before the pandemic.  The time and location are set, so hold on to your trading pins because the CRAZY WonderCon Countdown is live!  Enjoy...

Everybody needs a good Maug by their side!

Somehow, I don't think she needs the extra bodyguards!

You'd think Dragon Balls would be bigger.  MUCH bigger!  What?  Why are you looking at me like that?

COBRAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Glad to see that Doug Funny and Patty Mayonnaise finally settled down.  Now if only the stain of the Disney version of Doug could be erased!

My dear friend Amanda, who's one of the nation's premier Cosplayers, celebrated a big milestone at WonderCon as she was part of her first panel! 

Isn't that sweet?  This friendly clown just wants too spread some love around this disheartening world!

Tom Servo has now taken to riffing on Cosplayers!

The Goblin King sure gets around!

It's not quite the spectacle of San Diego Comic Con, but the foot traffic of WonderCon can still be pretty intense, especially on Saturdays.

Our good pal Ed gets the party started in the Fountain Plaza!  Hopefully the iconic Fountain will be fixed this year after a longer than expected renovation.

I tell ya, opening a Star Tours Terminal at the Anaheim Convention Center has made getting to Disneyland so much easier during the show!

When the Hip Hop Stormtrooper gets the beat going, you HAVE to bust a move!

And finally, we'll end this week with a pair of Cosplayers who have really become quite iconic at cons throughout Southern California, the Hawk People!  The wings fully open and retract and the craftsmanship is easily on par with anything from a Hollywood studio.  I've always admired folks with such incredible abilities.

And that was WonderCon 2019!  An odd year in that trouble on the home front made it tough to enjoy myself until literally the last few hours of the show.  And of course, within a few weeks after the show, a lot of those troubles would clear up!  Always seems to work that way, doesn't it?  Still, I did have some fun at Disneyland during the trip and scored some really cool old comics during the show, which has really become a passion of mine in recent years.  A glass is always better to be half full than half empty.

Well, only a few weeks left until the big show, but we are gonna keep on plugging away until showtime, so be sure to come back next week as the CRAZY WonderCon Countdown chugs on!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

WONDERCON 2018!!! WILD AND WOOLY!!!

 

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOO HOO!!!  I am a month away from heading up to Anaheim and getting my Con Game on as WonderCon 2026 is that much closer!  It's so hard to keep calm when I know so much cool stuff is on the horizon!  Perhaps if we skip ahead to the pictures, it'll help calm all our nerves?  We're setting the Wayback Machine to 2018 folks!  Screw the lids down on your Code Red Mountain Dews, because the CRAZY WonderCon Countdown is launching fast!  Enjoy...

Would ya look at the horns on that guy?!?

Oh shazbot!

I think these meddling kids might be up to something!

Okay, mad props to this lady for finding the most creative way to disguise a stroller!

*BEEEELCH* Whoa Morty!  We're in a dimension where it's humid in March!

There is nothing strange or unusual about her!

Not sure I'd trust these guys...

COBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I gotta, say, it takes a real knowledge of global pop culture to cosplay as the Gyaos from the Gamera series!  What's that?  My editor (i.e., my niece) is telling me that this is actually a Game Of Thrones cosplay.  Carry on...

Definitely a top notch Aladdin costume!  The flying carpet prop was particularly creative!

I just can't understand why so many people are scared of clowns?  Just look at that face!

He's got the touch.  He's got the pow-errrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Handy as they are, I'm not sure Astro Mechs make the best frontline defense in a battle!

And finally, it just wouldn't be a Con of any kind without a Deadpool variant!  And they don't get any stranger than Elmo-pool!

And that was WonderCon 2018!  Another great show that saw lots of awesome cosplay and a rare attempt at an offsite by the Con.  The highlight for me though will always be witnessing my buddy Matt drop an insane amount of money for a couple of items that just blew my mind.  I too have dropped some serious coin at cons in recent years, but back then, I was in a much different tax bracket.  So thankful things are on the up for me these days!

And that's a wrap on February 2026!  But have no fear, we're kicking March off right with even more awesome memories as the CRAZY WonderCon Countdown continues!  So be sure to come back and check it out!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

IT'S HERE!!! LET THE 2026 CRAZY WONDERCON COUNTDOWN COMMENCE!!!

 

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  And welcome to the 2026 CRAZY WonderCon Countdown!  We are just over a month away from the premier Con of the spring!  Needless to say, I'm excited beyond belief and already making my plans for the big week!  So, since I am so giddy, let's just jump right into things and get on with pics, shall we?  The year is 2017.  The location is the Anaheim Convention Center in Orange County, California.  The event is WonderCon!  Hold on to your Batman Underoos folks!  THE CRAZY WONDERCON COUNTDOWN IS A GO!!!  Enjoy...

Didn't realize Halo had made service!

Anastasia cosplay?  Beloved as they are, you don't often see Don Bluth movies get Cosplayed!

Somebody's been keeping up with their yoga!

Anybody who drinks Slurm definitely knows how to party!

Ewoks are scarier than we realized!

With all this AI crap popping up all over the place, Terminators are suddenly not so far fetched anymore...

Damn.  Illusion spoiled...

BELLE-RAISER!!!

I have a few grievances to file with this guy!

Let's face it, Batman and Wonder Woman were pretty much the DCEU's only saving grace.

Sand Witch!  Get it?!?

Damn!  Didn't realize Jafar could be so smooth!

Even Doctor Evil likes to shop for bargains when he can!

They came from the Satellite Of Love to warn of cheesy movies!

Reads like stereo instructions!

She made some amazing balloon animals folks!

Oh ye Gods!  The Pacs have mistaken each other for power pellets!

And people say robots are dangerous.  This one seems pretty calm!

And now, we close the book on WonderCon 2017 as Doctor Strange and Princess Peach bust a move!

And that was WonderCon 2017!  Among my favorite Con experiences, I had so much fun that year walking the aisles with my pals Matt and Riki!  It was also the first time I ever went to WonderCon as an attending Professional, having been an exhibitor from 2012-2015.  Alas, all things must come to pass, and sadly, I've pretty much run out of pictures from 2017.  But hey!  It was fun while it lasted, eh?

That's one week down as we eagerly await the joys of WonderCon 2026!  But fear not!  MANY more memories are on the way, so be sure to come back next week and see how we close out February 2026!  In the meantime, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
