Venture Brothers

So a friend of mine has got me watching a new cartoon.  It’s called Venture Brothers.  I’d never heard of this show before but he said that I might like it.  He said that it has the feel of an older cartoon, like Jonny Quest, Rocket Robinhood, Spider-Man and little Scooby-Doo and he knows that I dig that kind of stuff.

To be honest I wasn’t so sure I was going to like it but I found that with in two or three episodes, I was hooked.  I found that the show really plays off the ridiculousness that those classic cartoons showed off as serious.  Plus the show seems really put together.  I was impressed at how much consistency they have put in to this cartoon.  They set up things in early episodes that they totally follow up on in later ones and make it a major plot point, which you don’t see that often in cartoons.

In short… I really like this cartoon and I too recommend it fans of the older cartoons of yesteryear.  It’s fun and stupid and unlike anything you’ve seen before.  Now if you’ll excuse me… I should try and draw a picture of Dr. Girlfriend. ^_^

This art from the season 1 box is so boss I just had to show it too.
