Just wanted to say, glad the site’s back online. It’s been a while since there’s been anything new, so when it went down and didn’t come back after a couple of days I thought this might be the end. Thanks for your devotion, Mike- I still come here almost every day to check on things and reminisce about good times.
I was wondering that myself! My search engines only have the 'stun' setting, but the best I've found, Doc is concentrating on his music groups and his art (portraits, mostly in oils, AFAIK), and Jackson seems to be flying under the radar, which means he's either got something cooking, or is taking some time off (most of his social media are either expired or at least 10 years out of date).
Wish them both only the best! Look forward to future material, and if nothing else, maybe hints at the Venture Universe?
Go Team Venture!

Speaking of Doc and Jackson being ahead of the curve, I relatively recently got all the volumes of the Monkeysuit anthology Jackson was involved in before the Venture Brothers premiered. They’re actually pretty cheap to get used except for Volume 3, which is the longest and has a proto-Brock character in Jackson’s story.
Anyway, a few things occurred to me as I was reading- a lot of other people who worked on them ended up on the Venture Brothers (and Codename Kids Next Door). Also, I remember a while ago that Jackson put his stories from Volumes 2-4 on his blog but he had a story in Volume 1 that he never put up- it was basically ‘What if Frank Miller wrote a Santa Claus story’. Doc even had a story in Volume 4 (which was around when they were working on the pilot). Definitely recommend getting any or all of the volumes (there are a couple recurring stories but you don’t need to read them in order to understand mostly)- very ahead of its time material as I was vaguely alluding to but got caught up in fanboyishness.

I find it hard to believe that no one has mentioned the Robot Chicken Season 11 finale with the Venture Bros Season 8 scene at the very end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKH-J3f2RkM
