Gary kissing Shiela is inarguably the furthest he’s gone with a girl, because if he’s ever hooked up with anyone, he and 24 (RIP) would be talking about it at some point.

He’s probably totally in love with her, and honestly, he might try the same exact stunt the Monarch pulled when he snakes her from Phantom Limb.

That would even be a logical progression of Killinger's shtick of nurturing aspiring supervillains- 21 has it in him to be one, his inner conflict of being a big fan of superheroes while also a proud henchman giving him some of the most dangerous attributes of both.

Given varying age of consent laws in other countries, to say nothing of the fact that you have tons of shows set in ye olde past or fantasy versions thereof, I highly doubt that.
Although VB is probably one of the only ones where that's true AND where it takes place in a culture/society that recognizes pedophilia as bad.

I just bought the artbook (imported from the US to France) from my closest friendly sequential-arts-focused store and let me just say, that thing is a beast. I haven't had time to peruse it yet, but it's huge and heavy, definitely a collector's item. Also, I think that series is way more obscure than I thought...

It's kind of weird to think of Venture Bros without Hatred now, but then you remember that he wasn't really a thing until season 3.

It's like Rogal in TTS, I can't imagine the show without him, but he actually hasn't been around that long!

Professor Impossible’s dark room with his limb stretched around as if it were paper, along with the glasses of urine, his dishevelled appearance, and his mysophobia, are all references to the 2004 film The Aviator, a biographical drama about an aviation pioneer living with an untreated form of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
