DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


The name ALONE is a delicious meta commentary.

It calls back to "Careers in Science" while paying off the long overdue debt of the biggest question of the series, what happened to Jonas.

Also it’s an amazing Jaws parody.

E: actually, the episode before Arrears in Science is the Jaws parody. Arrears starts with a Robocop riff instead.

I like how Original Team Venture takes Rodney to the hospital on an anti-shrunk cockroach as if they were just hopping in a car and driving away. No hesitation. "Gotta go somewhere, and all we have is a giant bug? That'll do."

They've been through some adventures.

Jackson Publick did some art for the printed version of Rex Steele: Nazi Smasher. And that makes me realize how much I want a comic of the pulp adventures of the OG team venture. Could be the 'in-universe' sanitized version like the Rusty Venture show, or more like the actual VB IRL show and the 'real' adventures of the real team Venture and thus that blend of pulp adventure and raw poo poo as we get see what a loving monster Jonas was.

It'd be neat if looking at it with rose-colored glasses--actual rose-colored glasses!--let you see the sanitized version. But when you remove the glasses, hoo boy, it's the same adventure, except what really happened.

I'd settle for a special format comic book where you open it and the left side is sanitized and the right is what actually happened. But there has to be a way to do the glasses thing.

Sell a 200 dollar comic book where every page is done with lenticular printing and you rotate the page back and forth to see each version.

I'd be 150% okay with Venture Bros. continuing in graphic novel form. I really don't need to have it animated and voiced as I can clearly channel and imagine the voices in my head just fine, as can everyone else in this thread, I'd imagine.

Countercounterpoint: the graphic novel or comic book format also has those things like what's in some greeting cards, where it starts playing music when you open it. So you open to any page with Dr. Orpheus talking, and the music starts playing.

They need to re-issue the artbook but have this feature for any page with Dr. O on it.

Just have him read the whole thing like an audio book, actually just make it an actual companion audio book. Complete with sidebar "That's not what happened I was there!" additional new behind the scenes info.

Man I’d totally subscribe to a venture bros patreon or something. Every month they could put out an audio episode, some art/comic pages, a Doc/Jackson podcast featuring the other voice actors as guests, maybe some in-character songs like the Christmas singles... :sigh:

It goes even further back than that. The very first shirt they ever sold was literally just a plain brown shirt with nothing on it but the word DEAN. The season 3 shirt was an homage to the original.

I thought the original Dean shirt was a bootleg some gal made and wore to a con and they loved it so much they did an homage in shirt club.

It was somewhere on the S2 commentary.

I think I only ever got the Henchman 24 shirt. And, I wore it out. Sadly, most of the time, I couldn't justify the expense of getting all the shirts back then.

What's the deal with Dr. Girlfriend's second shirt?

It’s just kind of gratuitous in a way that makes me uncomfortable wearing it in public. Like, it requires some explanation and no one has time for it.

  1. It's a good-looking graphic.
  2. It looks good enough to get some attention, and since most people on the street don't know the context, you will have a lot of explaining to do about the woman in the image as well as what "Modern Enemy Monthly" is.

I dig the shirt, but I'd only wear it if I was somewhere where people were likely to know the context.

I believe I have every shirt and since I have gotten older and fatter I want to have them made into a quilt or something.

The first Dr. Girlfriend shirt owned bones, mine is unwearable due to all the west and tear. I wonder if there's bootlegs out there.

maybe this is closed-minded of me, but I feel like a woman wearing an image of a pin-up is less likely to be weird than a man doing so
