Adult Swim sent out this press release today about the upcoming Venture Bro special this July.
THE VENTURE BROS. SPECIAL-FROM THE LADLE TO THE GRAVE: THE STORY OF SHALLOW GRAVY-See the Venture Family as you’ve never seen them before: in a 15-minute documentary-style animated special. Follow the meteoric rise, the equally meteoric fall, and the decidedly un-meteor-like second coming of the most important band Hank Venture, Dermott Fitctel and H.E.L.P.eR. robot have ever been in: Shallow Gravy. If you’re hungry for rock, then open wide, because here comes a ladle of heavy metal fire and metaphoric meat drippings. Launched on Adult Swim in August 2004, The Venture Bros. is an inspired spoof of 1960s action cartoon shows such as Johnny Quest. Created by Jackson Publick III (King of the Hill, The Tick), the 30-minute animated series follows the bizarre misadventures of the Venture family. The Venture Bros. Special-From the Ladle to the Grave: The Story of Shallow Gravy premieres July 24 on Adult Swim.
Awesome. Only problem is that it airs while I’m in San Diego for Comic Con. So..there will probably be a showing there too. Hopefully.
