As I have stated before, the best days of Advent are the ones where you didn’t get the little chocolate nugget and get to have several at once. Welcome to that day, dear friends as we now get the full on delight of three skipped days. Wah-Hoo! NSFW language

Sure, Santa, they can’t all be winners, but we do our best, and to keep with the bittersweet holiday wishes…

That song always makes me tear up, that is until my brain goes to the sound of THE MIGHTY MONARCH! This truly is one of my favorite things. Every December you can bet you will hear this being screamed from my apartment frequently (for continuity nerds, this would take place after season one)

…beware, contains “f” bombs, sooooooooo, NSFW…

speaking of Reindeer…

and while we are feeling a little “Twisted”…

And one last time…NSFW

Greetings Venturoos!

2011 has come to a close, and we have all been waiting with bated breath for some VB related news. We know Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick are writing season 5, and getting it ready for production, which should be in the coming weeks.

So while you are waiting for new episodes, check this out! Jackson updated his blog with a bit of holiday cheer in the form of a re-gift! From December 17th-20th, Jackson posted some old comic art he drew for the comic anthology Monkeysuit, along with a piece he made for the exhibit “Too Art for TV Too”, and another piece for a comic themed show called “Agents of P.O.O.C.“.

Monkeysuit was a comic anthology that ran from 1999-2005. It featured many animators that may sound familiar to you, as some of them went on to work on the Venture Bros., including Jackson, Doc Hammer, Douglas Lovelace (Storyboard revision supervisor, storyboard and design), Chris George (Character design and storyboard revision), and Stephen DeStefano (Art director and storyboard artist, voice of Dr. Entmann). The “Too Art for TV” exhibit is curated by Liz Artinian, who you may know as the color supervisor for the Venture Bros. The “Agents of P.O.O.C” show was held at Maxwell’s in New Jersey and was curated by Karl Heitmueller.

In Re-Gifting (pt. 1), Jackson shares “Oh, To Be Super!” from 2000’s “The Bride of Monkeysuit”.

Re-Gifting (pt. 2) brings us a back cover page comic from 2003’s “In Search of Monkeysuit”.

Re-Gifting (pt. 3)’s “Pet My Danger” is from 2001’s “Viva la Monkeysuit.” And yes, that’s supposed to be Jackson at the end. Also, Sluggo Rabbit is a bit like Brock, isn’t he?

And finally, Re-Gifting (pt. 4) contains two Spider-Man themed pieces; “An Ideal Web” from the “Agents of P.O.O.C.” show, and “Parts of the Body” from “Too Art for TV Too”.

If you like what you see, you can pick up all the issues of Monkeysuit on Amazon. So go check it out! Also, if you live in the Los Angeles area, and you’re interested in seeing some pretty cool Adult Swim inspired art, including The Venture Bros. of course, Gallery 1988 is holding a group exhibition starting on January 13th- February 4th. More info can be found here.

Today is the most important day of Advent, for it is the “invent” of me! Ha! Puns!

Enough of that. However, it also happens that my favorite Christmas song is also Scrooge approved. Today is all about me, so it is also all about this song…

And although it is a perfect song and should never be covered, there is one exception to that rule. Over at FRED entertainment Ken Plume somehow manages to get the Venture Bros. cast to do a Christmas song every year. This one is from a few years ago, and it is simply magical.

We return with a giant sequence and a special guest; Sara Brandau from [adult swim] central’s Swimcast. This episode contains, but is not limited to:

• Talk of ‘Jacket’ and the Shallow Gravy special
• A plug for Projektfest 2011 (In which Katie may have ragged on Voltaire. But this is because she is mean and why the hell not?)
• Katie attended the Convention vaguely about Dragons and she is here to break down the many Venture happenings.
• Sara speaks of New York Comic Con plans the ultimate revamp of [adult swim] central.
• This is our 1 year anniversary podcast!

JJ and his amazing friends Jason and Aaron Talk about their plans for Dragon*Con. Yep, that is all they had planned, but rest assured that these three cannot stay on any path too long. Aaron does tell you loosely where he will be, so does JJ…eventually. In between all the shameless moments of self promotion the trio discus such as when is the proper time to go pantsless during a panel, or the one person who would be the bestest Doctor Who ever. (it will break your mind) Finally, JJ wonders if the listeners would like us to take an idea from another podcast and reshape it in our own image. Let us know!

A most triumphant and depressing return of Steffanie and Katie. The poor souls who did not even attend SDCC, but are here to tell you about it anyways.

• SDCC talk and lament.
• Kim is gone, can we make that clear? No? Okay.

• Big thanks to evilsuperpowers for providing us with panel footage. Also, super big thanks to chris-graves for letting us use his most delightful image of the boys for our banner.
• Katie wants to invite you into her creepy dream room.
• Links we mention in this podcast include: ASiteCalledFred.com and spookychan.com
• We creepily love you.

Steffanie and Katie make a come-back to discuss..well, everything.

• The DVD
• Season 5 and 6 speculations
• San Diego Comic-Con appearances
• And probably a bunch of other things.

This is our filler episode to tide you over until episodes (or something else to discuss) are back on. Don’t mind us, we drank giant margaritas beforehand.

We discussed/re-capped the big finale. We did this while in food comas, so forgive us for being jumpy and maybe not making sense sometimes. But hey! We have two guests.

Shelby and Vanessa.

Join us, won’t you! We talk about:

• Katie being a total idiot at times. (I’m typing this so..I can say that)
• Our ever-growing love for Brock.
• Future speculations!

Of course this episode was super long because we had so much stuff to discuss. We probably left out something, and it is definitely not in order whatsoever.

That’s right folks, two episodes this week! Due to a technical difficulty last week, we re-recorded episode eight, and recorded episode nine as well!

These two episodes are the fan commentary episodes, with special guests Shelby, Vanessa, and Amanda.

Episode 9 contains commentary for The Revenge Society and Return to Malice.

I wish I could give you a breakdown of what we talked about in each one, but there’s so much. Guess you’ll have to tune in!

Also, brief discussion of the promo that was released for the Season finale, which airs Nov. 21.
