A Note To Our SHIRT CLUB Customers...

Hello, cherished members of The Venture Bros. Shirt-of-the-Week-Club…

Some of you are wondering: "Where are my shirts?"
The short answer is: "Your shirts will start shipping super-soon."

As you know, Shirt Club shirts are printed to order--meaning we don't make a bunch of them ahead of time, and we don't make more than are ordered. This is why they are so jazzily "limited edition" and coveted by all. It also means we don't place our order for shirts with our shirt providers until the ordering period for that shirt is closed. For example, the subscriptions and individual ordering period for Week 1's HankCo and Palaemon shirts ended on June 9th. We tallied, organized, and triple-checked all those orders, then placed our order with our shirt printer on the 11th.

HERE'S THE THING: It is a shitload of shirts. The response to this season's Shirt Club was so overwhelming that it was, well… frankly overwhelming. American Apparel needed a few extra days to come up with all the blank shirts we needed. And our silk screen printers needed a few extra days to print them. In fact, they've been busy at it for a few days now. Compounding the issue was our decision to release TWO different shirt designs in our inaugural week.

But we're all on top of it now and everything's on track. The HankCo and Palaemon shirts will be delivered to our Titmouse satellite facility this week, and an eager staff of Honorary Astrobase Cadets and Soulbots will immediately begin packing them in ludicrously well-designed custom envelopes, carefully inserting lovingly printed Hankbucks, and sending them on their way. Once they start, shipments will go out at the end of each and every day, insuring we're getting them to you literally as fast as we possibly can (This is seriously a lot of shirts!).

The order for Week 2's "U.R.G.H!" shirts has already been placed, and now that everyone knows what to expect and our systems are all in place, things should move a lot smoother for future shipments.

You will all be happy soon. We promise. Like The Venture Bros. itself, VB Shirt Club is worth the wait and eager to please! Ask anyone who was a member last time!

We Love You,
JP

The overwhelming response is a good thing, isn't it? Plenty of people have been jonesing for shirt club since the last time y'all did it. :D

(Also wait... who is that modeling this week's shirt?)

Thank's for the update Jackson, it's great to hear the response to shirt-club has been so positive. My collection from season 3 still get lots of positive comment's and serve as a great conversation starter for the uninitiated (especially the Dr.Girlfriend shirt).

And yes thelastsong, that is Macaulay Culkin modeling this weeks Destiny shirt.

Thanks for the confirmation, 'cause that is what I suspected...

Hank Co.

Does proudly wearing the Hank Co. shirt make me an actual employee of Hank Co.?

If it doesn't I'm throwing my paper hat on the ground and collecting my "potential" severance pay in Hankbucks.

But more importantly I love all the shirt designs!!! Awesome job!

Thanks for your glorious fan service!

I hope I look as sexy as that Hank Co. model in my shirt.

Is there anything we can do to enable you to make more Venture Brothers episodes? Write Cartoon Network? Buy more stuff? Petition Congress? The show is just so damned fantastic, it makes life better, and I want more. Thanks for all you do!

Ask Dr. Venture to clone Doc and JP. XD

Seriously, I think they work as much as humanly possible to get us the number of episodes that we already get. And we love them for it. :D

I'm sure the shirts will be well worth the extra wait. The shows so far have been packed with extra Venturey Goodness! One question though, Was SPHINX Commander's voice hard on your throat? I would have been coughing and crying like a little girl! Is that why you killed him off right away? Now on to D*C. I totally understand, you need the time off. Who wouldn't? Season 5's quality is proof of the yeoman's work you guys put into The Venture Bros. The rumor that you guys wouldn't be making the scene has been on the Venture Bros. grapevine, (rumor-mill), for at least a month, maybe longer. But it is every year, last year we had the whole petition debacle. The fans will totally understand that you guys, need some time to re-charge the old creative batteries. Thanks though for letting us know so early, because now we have time to adjust our schedules accordingly. Keep up the Fantastic work!

Thanks for the kind words...

The voice was a little hard on me, sure--it took a lot of energy to do, but didn't shred my voice as much as it might sound like it did. It was harder on the mics, which took the brunt of an intentionally very spitty performance. But no, we didn't kill him for any of those reasons. He was dead on the page, before we even knew who'd play him. And, contrary to anecdotal reports, we'd never kill a character just because his voice was hard to do. We still talk to each other in 24's voice constantly.

Am I the only one who finds Billy with a five a clock shadow Hilarious or am I alone on that one?

Oh glorious day! I checked the mail and what should I find, but my first two shirt club tees, with nifty Venture packaging and aforementioned Hankbucks. Thanks for all the hard work Jackson! This season has been great and now I can wear a piece of it on my chest.

P.S. Am I wrong to hope that all my Hankbucks may one day be spent on some cool mail-away exclusive? I seem to recall you and Doc riffing on the uselessness of modern "proof of purchase" tabs at one point on a commentary track, longing for the days when you could get a super rare Boba Fett or Clark Kent figure.

I've been surprised at how excited I am about my U.R.G.H. t-shirt. I actually walk around at work thinking "I wonder if it has arrived?"

O.S.I Love you

Jackson. Just finished watching this weeks episode. That was without a doubt the best half hour in the history of television. There are no words. About to rewatch it on the DVR. Just had to stop by and thank you and Doc for the amazingness. "Brock, she took my destiny" I just... There aren't words.

Unbelievable. I had two spit takes: Klue Klown and Tank Top. I want a Klue Klown t-shirt! One of my favorite episodes for so, so many reasons.

I don't know what made me happier today—getting my Hank Co shirt or that last episode of VB. That was a seriously tight piece of writing.

Season 3 T-shirt Club Member Super Trade Scenario!

I own a full set of 2XL Season 3 Shirts, cherished and lovingly preserved. Happily I have lost quite a few pounds and the shirts are now too big for me. My Season 5 shirts are XL and fit well.
I'm wondering... are there any other Season 3 T-Shirt Club members that have outgrown their XL set that would be interested in doing a straight swap for my 2XLs?
email me if interested: sal_manila at hotmail dot com

Thanks!

Will there be a contest? Or just one fan selected at random?

I got mine and they are awesome!!! They were very much worth the wait, as is this season! I was worried I was making too big a deal out of it and I would be disappointed, but I am happy to be wrong! Thanks for making my favorite show more and more epic!

Extra Colour shirt

I received my first shipment of T-Shirts today - they are more awesome than I had hoped for. I was curious if the "now in glorious extra color" shipped with the episode 1-2 shirts, or will be printed and shipped later?

Re: Extra Colour shirt

July 10 2013, 00:51:28 UTC 7 years ago

As per "The Fine Print" on the ordering site, the subscriber-only "Glorious Extra-Color" shirts are shipping LAST. We do this to keep people from subscribing, getting their bonus shirt that only subscribers should be allowed to have, and then canceling early.
