These dads won’t be getting any Father’s Day cards this June. In addition to getting your dad a card or new tie this Father’s Day, be sure to thank him for not trying to eat you when you were young. Devouring babies may sound savage and strange, but when it comes to certain species, kids becoming a meal for their fathers is just par for the course.

Never doubt the power of a devoted audience: Time and again, adoring fan bases have brought television shows back from the brink of cancellation—or actual cancellation. Shows like Family Guy and Futurama were resuscitated long after cancellation by the indirect fan actions of DVD purchases and the ratings of reruns on other networks, but sometimes fans take a much more direct role in rescuing their favorite programs.

The last week of July, cosplayers around the globe gathered in Southern California to show off their newest looks at the 2024 San Diego Comic Con. Zeon Santos and I were lucky enough to capture the fun. Here are some of our favorite cosplay pics from the convention. It was hot at the convention this year, so I'm sure Nick Wilde had no problem selling off Pawpsicles whether or not he had the proper permits.

I'm not a killer pinball player, but I am a fan, which is why I always stop by the Stern pinball room at SDCC. This year, I was actually treated to a special press presentation of the John Wick machine and I am so glad I got to play this game. As you can see above, John Wick himself had the chance to play the game at the con, but sadly I missed that opportunity. There's so much to love on these machines if you're a fan of John Wick.

Not everyone has the budget, time, or talent to pull off a show-stopping, screen-ready cosplay. But sometimes, a little imagination and a sense of humor are all you need to make an amazingly memorable costume. These costumes are as entertaining as they are hilarious. It’s not every day you see a pink Hello Kitty maid Stormtrooper, but if you want to stand out from the crowd, this may be the most unexpected way to do it.

You don’t have to be in a couple to wear couple’s costumes —you just have to be two people who happen to be dressed as characters in the same fictional universe. And at the SDCC, sometimes that means just running into someone with a cosplay that matches yours. Regardless of their relationship status, these couples we photographed last weekend all look incredible together.

Have you always wanted to walk through the Slurm factory, see enjoy a donut with the Simpson's or do an alien autopsy of Roger from American Dad? If so, you'll want to head to Hulu's Animayhem activation at this year's SDCC. There's a lot of fun to be had here, including a snack of green sprinkled donuts, refreshing Slurm, a Solar opposites stress test that gives you a relaxing squishy toy, and some incredible pins at the end. If you are in the area this weekend, stop by for some fun.

Kid Robot had been selling blank vinyl toys for years, making it easy to color your own designs amd create your own one-of-a-kind creation... But unless you start adding on to the sculpture, it will always be the same shape as everyone else's. If you really want to let your inner artist shine, you'll want to check out Marmals. We spotted these at Comic Con and my son fell in love -and so did I.

One of the great things about the San Diego Comic Con is that there is always something fun to do - even if you don't have a Comic Con badge. A perfect example is the Paramount+ Lodge, where visitors can get an inside look at the some of their favorite shows. Want to get a better feeling for your favorite Ghosts character? You can smell a perfume representative of the sitcom's different ghosts. They even send you home with a small sample.
