(NSFW) The Dr. Girlfriend Nip Slip
Okay, so I’m kind of a perv for noticing this. Let’s just get that out of the way right now.
I was watching my DVDs for the umpteenth time when I noticed something peculiar.
I have little way of knowing if this is already out there. A web search of the terms girlfriend and topless yields a dizzying array of results. But, I did my best and from what I can tell I may be one of the first to have noticed this.
I suspect Herr McCulloch (aka Jackson Publick) and Doc Hammer may gone through puberty desperately needing to touch some girl parts because there’s this sequence in the penultimate episode of the third season of The Venture Bros. In “The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together” Part I, about four minutes from the closing credits, Dr. Girlfriend is sitting on Brock Samson’s bed, waiting for him to enter the room. She’s propped herself up and is adjusting her costume when she has *drum roll* a wardrobe malfunction.

And out pops one of her dirty pillows.
Hooray for super science!
Oh, before I forget: “Hi, mom!”
New Music from Doc Hammer of The Venture Bros. – Los Angeles Music – West Coast Sound
In an ongoing effort to keep our fellow music/animation geeks up-to-date on all things Venture, we thought you might like to know that Venture Bros. co-writer/voice of many characters Doc Hammer has some new music on the way. Hammer, formerly of the goth-friendly bands Requiem in White and Mors Syphilitica, currently fronts New York-based outfit Weep, who despite their strangely straightforward cover of Rihanna's hit “Shut up and Drive,” reminds us of bands like Jesus & Mary Chain and Catherine Wheel.

JG Thirlwell: Composer of Venture Bros. Score
LA Weekly interviews JG Thirlwell.
On the surface, The Venture Bros. is a blatant, and extremely funny, parody of Hanna-Barbera’s classic Johnny Quest with elements of Fantastic Four and James Bond thrown in for good measure. Watch a few episodes, though, and the popular Adult Swim series morphs into a cartoon for music geeks. David Bowie references are abound here and when a fictionalized version of the star finally appears, he’s flanked by henchmen Iggy Pop and Klaus Nomi (the latter’s falsetto and bow tie can cause serious damage).
Cheese & Burger Society
This is so cool.
The Cheese & Burger Society is a website promoting Wisconsin cheese. It is a list of thirty awesome cheeseburgers and their recipes, each one described by Patrick Warburton.
You may also know Warburton as the voice of Brock Samson from the Venture Bros. series on Adult Swim.
Publick Nuisance – Back In Action…
I rarely geek out much any more, but when I saw these pics of Venture Bros. cosplayers at Comicon, I have to admit, I let out a shriek. My favorite is the one with Dr. Girlfriend (Dr. Mrs. The Monarch) standing with Doc Hammer.

It Happened Again
Another crash at Overland’s eastbound I-10 onramp. Same circumstances as the others. I’d go take pictures, but Venture Bros. is on…
Bret and Jemaine Cameo on Tim and Eric
I just got done watching the last episode of this season’s Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job and I’m pretty sure that Bret and Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords double for Tim and Eric during some of the slow motion sequences in the final round of the tennis match.

Space invaders attack Los Angeles
One could argue that this is the first 8-bit global collective performance art project. It sort of reminds me of the 2007 Boston bomb scare fiasco. But without all that frothy bomb scare aftertaste.
Maybe that’s where those Adult Swim guys got this idea. Because Invader started doing this back in 1999.
Like MF Doom, Invader never shows his face in public. He’s another one of those great artists who, for whatever reason, shun personal publicity. It’s such a great idea. It’s the opposite of fascia celebrity. Can you imagine Branjelina going around in masks? No, of course not. Why? Because their face is the their greatest asset.
Sure they do wonderful things, always trying to adopt babies. And giving away all their money. (Well, surely not all their money).
Les artistes masqué comme MF Doom et Invader sont le melliuere example de hommes qui “walk the walk.”
Sorry, I think my French could use some polish. Living next to Le Lycee Francais de Los Angeles hasn’t helped as much as I’d hoped it would.
