Because it’s a smaller event, WonderCon provides fans and attendees with a friendlier and less-hurried pace than the massive Comic-Con, which sprawls throughout downtown San Diego.

News of the death of retired teacher Ralph Dotinga sparked some classroom memories from his past students, including Will Chandler of Chula Vista.
“I have always remembered Ralph with gladness and gratitude, for his great skills as teacher, and particularly for his kindness, decency and determination to reach all of his students,” Chandler wrote in an email to Dotinga’s son, Randy Dotinga. “There must be many hundreds of people out there who will always recall him with admiration and thanks.”
Dotinga died of COVID-19 on Dec. 23. He was 85 and left behind a wife, Sudelle, and sons Randy and Darrell.
