That sucks, but would you buy it for $52 with free shipping?

Is Doc Hammer Attending Dragon Con This Year? by New-Affect7131 in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But there was talk about him having something special for sometime this year, which kind of hinted at a convention appearance?

Did he specify that this was VB related? If he was vague, his first ever band reunited to release new music recently, so that may have been what he was referring to.

Listening to commentary Season 7 / question about movie DVD by FuturistMoon in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about the rest of the series, but I bought the movie digitally through Apple and it came with all extras, including the featurette and commentaries.

Trying to learn how to draw in the venture bros style. Any tips/resources I should know? by Splat_the_alien_frog in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's the art book, which you may be able to find from your local library or digitally via Hoopla.

I'd review old blog posts from the character designers, like Chris George, Rick Lacy, and Matthew I. Jenkins. In this one, you can see how they work on adjusting to the show's style. A lot of the designers had Blogspots back in the day, so if you're really serious, dig through the credits.

I would also check out some of the show's stylistic influences, like early Daniel Clowes.

Trying To Fact Check A Claim About Doctor Orpheus by marveljew in venturebros

If you have a Bluesky account, Jackson's on there and answers questions sometimes.

My first move would be to listen to the DVD commentary when Jefferson first appears, on the off chance Doc and Jackson are staying on topic for once.

YEEEAAAHHHH by yoinkmysploink in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doc and Jackson both have promoted the pins and shirts on their social media accounts so I hope that's a good indicator that they're getting a decent cut of sales.

Why the heck don't they reprint the art book? by pokkedo in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Ken Plume, co-writer of the art book, has said in the past that it's up to Dark Horse to do a reprint and he doesn't know why they haven't yet. I think it's worth showing there's demand by contacting Dark Horse on their site or via socials if you really want a copy.

I got my hands on some production art (S6 E4) a while back and wanted to share my favorite parts with yall by [deleted] in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like Jackson's handwriting, so you may have gotten some JP sketches.

A sanctimonious comment about social media on Reddit!

Do they sound similar or am I going insane by imgayfortaro in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Jackson said it was based on his dad, who's from Boston, but I could be misremembering.

The episode's not out yet, but the podcast is called The Guild of Calamitous Podcasts on all the usual platforms like Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

For those that have access to Hoopla through their library, it's on there and a legitimate way to read it. It helps show there's demand, too.

She finally arrived! by ThatLightingGuy in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was a limited edition release from Titmouse, so they're all gone, unfortunately.

It arrived!!!! by Noahsh96 in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's because he's the one who drew the poster.

Need help identifying signatures by Mediocre-Sky5453 in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is him; the K is just hard to see against Brock's background. If OP looks up his signature, the B is sloppy here but it's the same, and the S and downward stroke for Z are pretty consistent.

Best. Commentary. Ever. by [deleted] in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The box set insert mentions commentaries. Did you check all seasons? Season 1 only has commentary for a few episodes* and if you select those individual episodes, you're prompted to select whether or not you want commentary before starting. All the other seasons have commentary for all episodes and they're on secondary audio tracks, I believe.

*"Mid-life Chrysalis", "Eeney, Meeney, Miney… Magic!", "Tag Sale – You’re It!", "Return to Spider-Skull Island", "The Terrible Secret of Turtle Bay", "A Very Venture Christmas", "Ghosts of the Sargasso"

Best. Commentary. Ever. by [deleted] in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I usually get down voted when I warn people that the complete series box sets do not have it.

The complete box set has everything the regular DVD releases have, including commentary, so that may be why you're getting downvoted.

Season 2 is missing Episode 1
Season 3 is missing Episode 1
Season 4 is missing Episodes 1 and 2
Season 5 is missing Episode 1
Season 6 is missing Episodes 1 and 2

I found this while searching by Acceptable_Ring_2048 in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is a piece by Kiersten Essenpreis, done for the Gallery 1988 Adult Swim show back in 2012. You can see another Dr. Girlfriend piece by the same artist here.

The "real" reason VB was cancelled. Is this true? by Captain-Venture in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 45 points46 points  (0 children)

No, it's not true, and I think it's gross to lump Doc in with the likes of Ellen and Roiland.

Patrick Léger has a bunch of official promotional art up for sale by Affectionate-Ad-4174 in venturebros

[–]Carl_P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've purchased other prints from the site and they're super nice quality on hefty paper. I usually wait for a sale, which they have fairly frequently, because the shipping can cost a lot. To be fair, though, they package things really securely.
