Have Some Comic-Con Coverage
If you noticed the big Comic-Con logo at the top of the site then you've probably seen the Comic-Con coverage page, but just in case I'm telling you about it right now! Head over there to read up on the news and events from the convention. Right now I have a quick writeup of the Venture Bros. panel and some stuff on the newest toys with a little more to come later. And of course there's a bunch of stuff on the Mantis-Eye Tumblr if you're into that. Enjoy!

BifBangPow! Making Traditional Venture Bros Figures
Score Some Mantis-Eye Loot Of Reasonable Quality
To get it you just need to find me at Comic-Con. While that may seem daunting due to the sheer size of the place, note that I will be attending various Venture-related activities as seen on the SDCC schedule, so that could be your best chance (I will certainly be at the panel and at least one of the signings). Also every day I'll update the Mantis-Eye Twitter with the t-shirt I'm wearing (which will always be Venture Bros.-related) or possibly a place I am hanging around near, so you may be able to catch me that way as well. I'm looking forward to meeting some of you!
Shirtdown: The Final Shirtening
Above is the winner for week five, which you can buy at Nonsek if you want. This was remixed by David, who contributed a number of designs to each week. I actually worry that participation will go down for the final week since he can't win any more, but nonetheless he deserved it! Congrats to him and good luck to everyone else!
The Special On The Special
Doc Hammer replied to a comment on his Facebook wall in reference to the upcoming Shallow Gravy special, which will be screened at the Venture Bros. panel at San Diego Comic-Con and then later air on Adult Swim a month later:
The special isn't the full thing. [AS] will air the full, glorious special right on your TV not that long after the con. So you're not really missing anything. It's like bunch of people listened to a clip of a Beatles song in 1968, then like a month later in 1968, everybody who wanted to hear the whole song got to. Now it's 2011 and who the fuck cares. Most of us heard the Beatles like 30 years later and it didn't make a difference. It's just bragging rights... Okay, rotten analogy. Whatever. I just wanted to compare us to the Beatles.
Mantis-Eye San Diego Comic-Con 2011 Venture Bros. Schedule
If you're attending SDCC and wish to absorb the maximum amount of Venture Bros. possible you can check out the official Mantis-Eye Comic-Con Venture Bros. Schedule which contains all the events, panels, parties and signings related to the show and the cast and crew. If you know of any stuff that isn't there please let me know and I'll add it. So for everyone attending hopefully I'll see you there, and if not have a great time at all the various events you attend!

The Fifth Week: Winning A Shirt
Hello, friends! If you have been following the madness then you no doubt know that we are now in week five of six for the Nonsek remix shirt giveaway thingy where you can remix a Venture Bros. tshirt and possibly win a free shirt. I am currently away on vacation so I haven't had time to pick the winning design for this week (hence the lack of image on this post) but I will get to it the second I have some spare time! Until then you can continue to enter for this brand new week. Go forth and remix!
Update (7/12): I've finally gotten off my butt and picked a winner! You can see it above and buy it at Nonsek if you like. Sorry for the delay!
