Buggerflies

We started watching The Venture Brothers last night.  So far the only thing I really liked is when they're in Mexico, a monarch lands on Dr. Venture and he's horrified: "Ugh! The bugs down here are huge!" 
These are a couple butterflies from the zoo's walk-through exhibit.  It was a chilly day, so they were holding still.

I really like the 3rd shot, because you can see its curly proboscis! =)

Venture Brothers is made of awesome, I swear!

Great focus on the third shot.

We'll see. I'm about a third of the way through the first disc, and it's looking like a three star rating for me so far. Too mean spirited.

Thanks! I think I got lucky.

I'm sorry. If you don't like The Venture Brothers, we can no longer be friends.

Chubacabras. They're all over Mexico

Actually, now that I think of it, that pilot is one of the weaker episodes.

At least we'll always be brothers!

:) Keep watching. You'll either like it or you want. If you have any background in the weird world of "boy adventurer" stories that started in the early 20th Century with Tom Tomorrow and kind of hit their logical high point with Johnny Quest, you will enjoy it. Knowing that you're close to my age, you may have to dig back in your old Saturday morning cartoon reruns memories if you have any to pull what makes the show amazing. What makes the show great is simply the wonderful universe they put together and the study of "failure in the face of overwhelming odds against it."

How can you NOT like Brock Samson, Swedish Murder Machine? ;) Plus, you get some amazing stuff once season 2 hits.

Season 1 starts off kind of hit-or-miss until the ep where Dr. Orpheus shows up. But after that, it's almost pure comedy gold.


I need a Dr. Orpheus icon.
