Back when the pilot aired, I posted to a cartoon newsgroup on usenet inquiring about whether or not it had been picked up, nobody knew. And now it is the far-flung year of 2015 and this is still a thing and who even knows what usenet is.

Latest season and Gargantua 2 popped up on Hulu+. Binge rewatch!

it's been a long time since I watched the whole series, so I've been running straight through from the start. hulu really needs to play a wider variety of commercials. I really want to strangle country music insurance salesman guy.

which of the guys is it that has an encyclopedic knowledge of various kinds of fabrics?

Osiris Cultist: Ooohhh. Fill the Jackal’s head with OIL. Now it makes sense. At first I thought you said scalding hot voile.
Osiris High Priest: Wh-What the hell is voile?
Osiris Cultist: It’s a soft, sheer fabric. I warmed some up in the dryer.

What would he look like? Not to be mean to Publick, but Hammer got all the striking physical features : near unhealthy thinness (he kind of reminds me of Dean in that regard), fully depilated by nature and he's even got the weird streak of blond hair among the black.


speaking of Doc's striking physical features, if you want to see Doc with no clothes on but a strategically placed guitar:

He has a long-standing feud with Voltaire, so I imagine something moderately gothy.

the band is called Weep, some songs are on youtube. his record label is Projekt which is like the gothy label.

I still want to know how they got Jarboe to do a voice way back when.

It was implied that he was a Guild member. It wouldn't surprise me if he was kicked out after he and the others tried to form their own thing. This thread is making me wonder if he's involved with the Peril Partnership pushing into Guild territory.

Is there a reason they stopped using his character so much? I liked him.

feel like I read an interview or something where the guys said they're just sick of writing for him or they can't think of anything they want to do with the character.

And continuing the rewatch, I'm now onto Eeny, Meeny, Miney... Magic, the episode that introduces us to Doctor Orpheus, and is in my opinion the point where the show really starts hitting it's stride, and is overall a really good episode outside of some awkward bits with Dean, and while funny the whole "heart of a forsaken child" bit really feels out of place with how Rusty's character is later developed, my personal guess has always been that Rusty didn't intend to use such a thing originally, but when circumstances led to him having one on hand he couldn't see a reason not to use it in a sort of Super Science version of "want not, waste not"

Also the OPEN!!!!! bit is still in my opinion one of the funniest things the show has ever done

yeah, agree, the whole "an...orphan?" exchange is one of the first really funny bits I remember from the first season. and Orpheus is a great character.

I just watched the last season and a bit of Metalocaylypse and I was looking at the wiki looking at the guest stars apparently James Urbanik was in at least one episode. I don't remember that at all.

It's not just that he knows who Henry Darger is, but that he reacts with that so quickly and instinctively. Like Henry Darger had to be somewhere near the forefront of his mind in order to just spit that out. It's great.

I actually tried to find his music a few weeks ago because I realized I'd never listened to it. I genuinely could not find it outside of a CD on Amazon.

e: and of course the only song I even recognize on the cover album is the goofy comic book meta-fictional one from the 60s. No wonder I'm such a VB dweeb.

there's a bunch of Weep stuff on youtube. also the old goth bands he was in with his then wife.
