Jackson and I are insanely busy right now because of the wretched crossover. Fortunately, our crossover is not assisted by that charlatan, John Edward. No sir! Our crossover is when we are working on seasons three and four at the same time. Between the writing, editing, designing, and getting the perfect blend of tangy and sweet, we have no time to spare.

Not only was all our time picked from the line of swell dressed suitors by life's little Sadie Hawkins... We now lack the luxury of BOTH being away from the good ship Venture at the same time. I know! You are so used to us being bosom buddies and so much hail fellow well met. And we are! I mean, it's season four time and we still like each other. That's got to be a record of some sort. We are either true-blue-pals, or we know that if we get into a fight, our beloved show falls apart... But that isn't my point.

POINT: We both can't take like three or four days off to attend conventions together. Sure, we want to. And I know you want us to. Honestly, with the exception of cash or the promise of sexual congress, there is nothing better than being flanked by the Venture Brothers and getting your picture taken. And that sweet experience is only enforced when you proudly show your friends the picture and get to hear "Who's that guy?" and "Who's the pretentious dick in the sunglasses?"

So, as a solution, Jackson will Be attending the San Diego Comic Con, and I will be attending Atlanta's Dragon Con.

I know... Gyp!

I love you,
Doc

PS. Here is us at the NYC Comic Con. And yes, they edited out all the good parts where we talked exuberantly about nonsense. Zzzzzzz...

It is a shame to have that split in the Venture makeup, my soul will only be half-filled.


So to speak.


Either way, I'm glad you two aren't completely skipping out on the cons, Dragon*Con is the only thing I look forward to anymore.


Love the season so far, as well. Just to let you know...

Hey, whatever is good for the show! I have not seen anything as clever or as brilliant as Venture Bros in a while.
The seasons just keep getting better and better! Im still shocked over season 3!!!! How do you guys come up with such material?

Go team Venture!

Awww... We love you too!

I hope you can attend the Dragon*Con Con Suite Wedding Reception for The Monarch & Dr. Girlfriend. Then later we'll be having a tiki party at the PRoV fan table. And this year, I'll ship Jackson's swag to him so you don't have to carry it around... unless you want to paw through his stuff first and claim dibs on it.


And let Jackson know that I hope he has a great time in sunny California.
:)

If I were able to attend either of them I might be really irritable right now. Since I can't, I'm just glad to see that you posted. It's always a pleasure to see your angular, multi-colored head.

Haven't been to bed yet, so if i'm incoherent.... I apologize.


That's a fucking awesome picture. Aside from that - you'll be missed at the SDCC. It's the first time i'm going to this thing, which was supposed to be for the premiere of my comic, but sadly due to my company's restructuring that's more than likely not happening. Oh the joys of the comic world.


Hang in there, and don't work too hard.


take care hun.

I'm off to go pass out.

Terry- I haven't received my acceptance/rejection letter from D*C yet. So I don't know if i'll be at that convention as a spectator or comic artist; or even be there at all. Not knowing if my application is accepted factors into not "knowing" if I'm going. I don't know when or if I should buy tickets, or if they will be sold out by then.


But the book should be out before D*C in August- if nothing goes wrong.
;)

Thank you for your interest!

Any coincidence between your Atlanta Comic Con destination and your musical choice of Atlanta natives, Mastodon? Dragon Con sounds more "metal" anywho.

I think the most important question this blog brings to light is:

Is that a Man Bag Jackson has draped over his shoulder?!

In fact, I think that might be the only question.

It sucks that you won't be at SDCC2008. I don't why said that; it's not like I had plans to go so I'm not out anything. Still, I won't be able to watch new, shaky, muffled footage of the Venture creators in tandem, posted on Youtube mere minutes after the panel has ended... so I guess there's that.


Also, I get the feeling that the "let's wear suits and look all spiffy at Comic-Con" mandate is at your insistence so this year's panel has the potential to become a flip-flop and cargo short nightmare. In that instance the poorly lit, out of focus flavor of Youtube may work in everyone's flavor.
Maybe you could lay everyone's outfits out on the bed the night before?

As I can't afford to attend any cons, I'm just happy to hear season 4 is already in the works.


On a side note, I just introduced a friend to the wonderful world of Venture (at least season 1) and his absolute favorite part is when Dean gets a head rush. You work is speaking to people, even if that means one tall light-headed guy in the Pacific Northwest.

The Venture Bros.
should have its own con, whenever it would be most convenient to get the whole gang together. No need to inform the convention center, either.
Just post a date and time on all the Venture blogs, let the blogosphere work its magic, and the costumed VB fans (and inevitably, at least one Stormtrooper) will flood the Javits. The Pilates Seminar will never see it coming.

So Adult Swim finally got you guys an AstroBase-mobile. All you need now are some logos, racing stripes, and maybe a couple of propeller beanies, for extra-snazziness. Personally, I find the rainbow-striped beanies to be the most dignified.

That is the hottest little yellow cart I have ever seen, thanks to you 2, and I am sure that that is one lucky little cart seat!
I haven't been able to make any conventions as of yet, but I'm sure those fans who were hoping to see both of you will understand, seeing as how there's a T-shirt of the week club to deal with and extremely witty episodes to write.
Keep it up! It's awesome and it makes my Mondays happy!
That is a great album you are listening to. I think I saw them in '04 in Albany and maybe once before that. I don't remember because I stand too close to the pit and I used to go in there and now my brain gets a little blurry. My reflexes sure are quick now though.

That is about the cutest thing I have ever seen.

And you both steer. How precious is that.

I would tweak your cheeks if I were there,
and
I love you,
I platonically (not pertaining to Plato, but the other kind) love you,
I'm not trying to make you feel uncomfortable
I'm not trying to make you anything at all
But this feeling doesn't come along everyday
And you shouldn't blow the chance
When you've got the chance to say
I love you
I platonically love you....
sorry, that just ran through my head at the moment.

*hugs for two*

Just keep making a show that makes me laugh (without killing each other, of course), and I will be more then happy to not see you together at any convention...

I'm not much of a convention guy though.


I'm sure the "die hard" fans will not be happy. But it doesn't matter.


Be healthy, be merry, be creative. Do what you love.


Plus, two roommates being together all the time -- doesn't work well. Especially if they're roommates because they work together.


And that last episode with Dean... it was hardly "Date rape"!

[I can totally hear Orpheus saying that in the passionate way he says everything, all extended and powerful]

But yeah. I agree with that chick down there who says the only reason she doesn't care is cause she's not going. If I had money and was going, yeah, I'd be heartbroken. I'm relieved, though. You got into that whole part about if you got into a fight, etc.
, and the thought of a Doc and Jackson divorce [so to speak] nearly ripped my heart out!

p.s. I can't believe you got punched just for calling a kid "freckleface". That's funny on so many levels. That's a story you tell the grandkids, dude.
