At last weekend’s New York Comic Con, Venture Bros. writers Christopher McCulloch (better known as his pseudonym Jackson Publick) and Doc Hammer revealed some Season 3 footage and answered some fan questions. I wasn’t there but thankfully Comic Book Resources reporter Jonathan Callan chronicled the event.

| "We have a clip from the third season," McCulloch said. "Do you want to see it?" The room roared with applause. Dispensing with any further formalities, McCulloch started the preview as the room darkened. Scenes from the video included Brock with his Office of Secret Intelligence (OSI) mentor Hunter, last seen in season two’s "Assassinanny 911," the return of The Pirate Guy from "Ghosts of the Sargasso," a disturbingly Freudian sequence involving Doctor Venture and his heroic father’s large penis, and a gorey "GI Joe" satirizing OSI sequence. |

| One pair dressed as The Monarch and Doctor Girlfriend even asked Doc Hammer to marry them at their upcoming ceremony. "Give me the invitation. I’ll commit to thinking about it. At the very least I’ll give it a firm maybe," he said. Another pair, dressed as Trianna and Dean Venture, asked if Hank and Dean would ever hook up. "You could see that right now," joked Michael Sternikilis [voice of Dean Venture] as he raised his eyebrows at the girl. "No," said Doc Hammer answering seriously. "If you bring those two together too quick, it ruins the dramatic strain of it."
"You don’t know though," Christopher McCulloch said. "Dean could get her knocked up this season for all you know." |

| "What is the most significant way the show has changed?" One fan asked. "It wasn’t canceled after the first season," was McCulloch’s simple answer. "Are Dr. Venture and the Monarch brothers?" Another asked, speculating on the plot. "Not yet," McCulloch answered. |

| One of the last questions was why Brock couldn’t simply rip open Molatov Cocktail’s chastity belt. "Because it’s a symbol!" Doc Hammer answered. "What’s stopping you from getting laid? It’s a conversation, someone has to invite you. But she’s not ready. Could he rip it open? Brock could rip that thing off with his teeth and he will! Rip that thing off and go back for seconds!" |
Dude, I can’t wait for Season 3!
