Once you have finished watching through, and have fallen in love with this show (and you will), you need to buy the 'Go Team Venture!' book to accompany your rewatch.

Is anyone here a Venture Bros fan? I find myself with two copies of the Go Team Venture! art book and I don't need both. It goes for about $27 on Amazon, I'm happy to let the shrink wrapped copy I have go for $20.

The Go Team Venture Art/Interview book includes the original pitch book, which is where the early Molotov image in the title sequence comes from.
Then Hammer/Publick talk about creating the title sequence on pages 30-31. Basically, they forgot about it and forgot to budget for it. So most of the drawings came from Publick, and Hammer put the sequence together in After Effects. Publick says they were trying to make a "James Bond" effect with the iconography.
This specific drawing isn't referenced, so the descriptions in this thread of "generic frogman a la Johnny Quest credits" is most likely correct.
Yeah it came out in 2004 I was about to start sophomore year of high school. 3 years later after graduation I remember watching the season 1 and 2 box sets dozens of times in a row because season 3 still hadn’t come out. Those were honestly the first things I ever “binged” in the modern sense of the word.
Venture Bros is legitimately a 1 of a kind show. There never has and probably never will be a show that wraps back on itself as many time as venture bros does. You can actually see St Cloud in the background somewhere in season 1 and Grover Cleveland’s presidential time machine from season 1 or 2 is again seen in season 7 when they’re playing ultimate lawn darts. The Simpsons, archer, and futurama are all experts of recurring jokes but only venture bros managed to have pre-curring jokes. There’s an amazing book the creators put out that has all kinds of notes and original drawing in it.

That’s just the Amazon link but it’s definitely worth tracking down. They have original artwork of characters they didn’t incorporate until a decade into the show and even characters they always wanted to include but hadn’t found the right way to do it

Yup, "Go Team Venture! The Art and Making of The Venture Bros." It's pretty great, it's got a section for every episode with some character models, sketches and info about the episode. Kinda like the DVD commentary but if they had to focus. I linked to it on amazon, but it might be cheaper on ebay.
Looks like it's up for pre-order on Amazon. It's being released January 23, 2018.
