Venture Brothers – Everybody Comes to Hank’s – Venture Bro

–See what Brock meant about Hank channeling dead crazy people? This whole bit is so well-done. Whenever he puts on the hat (which also includes a whip because to Hank, detectives and Indiana Jones are the same thing), the episode switches to black-and-white, and when he takes the hat off, the colors come back. The crawl before the episode reveals that the cels were actually shot in color, and then had the color removed from the film – doing it this way provides a wider range of grays than traditional b&w animation. Also note the way the light source flickers in all the black-and-white scenes. Artistically, this episode is just gorgeous.
