Without much else to report on I'm left to making wild speculations about the start of season four (or season 4.1 or whatever you want to call it). Adult Swim updated their airing schedule a couple days ago so it goes through September 27th (a Sunday). Though many airings are not finalized there's an interesting bit here:
Venture Bros. makes an appearance on Sunday night at midnight, which is the first time it's been on Sunday night in a good while. While I don't think that's the season four premiere, it's possible that is the start of a couple weeks of episodes that will lead into season four's start. Right before season three started they showed the last two episodes leading up to it, and given the cliffhanger-ish nature of the show, it makes a lot of sense.
As I said, I'm still totally guessing here, but the start date for season four is potentially around mid-October (which goes with what Jackson mentioned as a start date). Stay tuned!

If you were paying particularly close attention (perhaps too closely) you may have noticed rumblings about changing this site. The previous version went up in July of 2007 and served me well but had been annoying me for probably close to a year. So now you have this one. Aside from the obvious cosmetic changes there are a number of improvements under the hood that will hopefully keep things running even more smoothly.
I also just realized that I've been running this site in some variation or another for almost five years now. That's a really long time. At any rate, feel free to let me know what you think either in comment for poll form. Bad or good, it's up to you!

Happened to catch this randomly, but Adult Swim's shop has four Venture-logo patches for $12. Included are the logos of Venture Industries, Sgt. Hatred, the Monarch and Molotov's Black Hearts. Also in case you missed it (I did) the Bill Sienkiewicz-painted artwork from the season three DVD is also available for purchase for a mere $24. As long as you like orange.

After weeks of silence Jackson has a huge, chunky update for you to ingest. Apologies if that last sentence causes nausea, I feel slightly sick after writing it.
ANYWAY, the update covers fancy new info on the upcoming Season 4 (or Season 4.1 or whatever you want to call it). There are tentative episode titles, animation drafts are flowing in, editing has begun, a new member of the AstroBase (in the form of a whiteboard) and more! Also notable Jackson and Doc will be at Comic-Con this year with Mike Sinterniklaas and potentially co-director John Schnepp (also of Metalocalypse fame) and James Urbaniak.

Not to leave anyone hanging but I have selected
the winners! First place goes to the esteemed
Jonathan Chaffin who, in an unexpected twist,
gratefully accepted the Season 3 DVD as his prize.
That leaves second place, who I have emailed but
not heard from yet. They get the vinyl, though
they might not if they don't get back to me! So
if you entered and got everything right (except
question six, which I dropped) check your email!
If I don't hear anything by June 1st I'll just
pick another lucky second prize winner. But until
then, congrats to Jonathan!
Update (5/29 3:03am): Rejoice all, the second prize winner, Mattie Best has gotten back to me! Congrats to both of them and hopefully I can mail the damned prizes soon.

For all you procrastinators the contest has less
than 48 hours left. Entries will be taken up
until midnight tomorrow (that's Pacific time,
otherwise known as 3am Eastern time)! So far
turnout has been pretty strong and lots of people
got everything right. So if you haven't already (or
even if you have) enter the
contest! You won't regret it!

The long delayed Mantis-Eye seasonal (that's
Venture Bros. seasonal) DVD giveaway is here, this
time with a twist! Two winners instead of one!
That's double the winners!
