I LOVED this Adult Swim series when it was on and now that it's released, both old fans and new can enjoy this twisted toon....
'VB' is an Omage, Satire and Knock-off of the 70's toon 'Johnny Quest'. In fact, the 'JQ' characters ocassionally pop up; Prof Quest and Race as a nice older Gay couple, Johnny with both Child Star Syndrome AND the trauma of all those adventures is in and out of Rehab and you can guess where Hadji is;>....
At the same time as the aseries is set, Professor Quest has another super scientist collegue, Professor Ventrue who also has a son. While "Rusty" dealt poorly with his "adventures", he came out a bit better than Johnny(though just as fond of drugs;>). Professor Venture(Jr) is a venial man who's living off his father's legacy and inventions. If he isn't taking out his Dad's rejects he's "tweaking" others to get around copywrite. He has two sons who are dumber than dirt who routinely get themselves killed. Thankfully, their Dad has a room full of clones ready to decant. Since they sleep in Sleepteachers anyway...
Brock is a psychotic, hyper Het Sexual version of Race.
Often episodes are twisted versions of classic 'Quest' ones and the Villians?!?
I admit my fav character is the Monarch's Moll, "Dr Girlfriend", an athletic version of Jackie Kennedy with a deep, masculine voice. A pillbox hat and Chanel Suit have never been so deadly;>....
Check it out!
Cheers,
Pat

On weeks like this(and it's only Tuesday!), I have to remind myself how "Blessed" I am. Because it Bloody HURTS!!!!!!
That said, I have to remind myself that:

Everybody who was infected with hiv that I knew at the time(thereabouts)is DEAD and I'm NOT.
The majority of people with the Arthritis I have use Walkers(Zimmers for the Brits;>), not just a CANE.
Most of those with the level of Neuropathy I have are usually require a Morphine pump and an electric wheelchair, not oral Morphine and a CANE.
Most folks with ruptured disks can't walk very far about their homes, let alone a couple blocks every AM.

So while I'm doing my Breathing Exercises to get under control, I remind myself that, compared to those with ANY of my problems I'm doing well compared to. To those with ALL of them? DAMN GOOD!
Cheers,
Pat
