This episode doesn't even show the Venture Brothers or even Dr. Venture. This is the story of Billy Quizboy being kidnapped ....again. Billy is one of the more competent characters of the ventureverse, but often the most abused. Here he is kidnapped by "The Investors" who look and act a lot like vampires. Billy's pal Mr. White enlists the aid of S.P.H.I.N.X (Sphinx!) so at least we have Brock Samson.
Not much more to say. This has mid season episode written all over it. It's not a game changer nor was it top form. For any other show this might have been a daring episode but we hold the Venture Brothers to a higher standard by jiggly.
SPHINX!
STRANGE SPANNERS being an accounting of strangeness of the warp and woof of my mind For those of you new here, think of this as 1/2 "Night Gallery" Our Motto: Nos somnium quisnam es futurus fatum quod insolitus tutus vos!
