Patrick Warburton has provided some deliciously vague non-hints about the upcoming season of <em>The Venture Bros.</em>

Be still my Venture-fan heart — Patrick Warburton, who voices career assassin-slash-bodyguard Brock Samson on Adult Swim’s The Venture Bros., was approached at an event promoting the syndication of his sitcom Rules of Engagement about what was going to happen to his character in the upcoming fifth season of the show. And then he said a group of words that amounted to just about nothing:

“Something happens with S.P.H.I.N.X. [Ed. note: S.P.H.I.N.X.!] Something happens. You like that? And I’m not holding back. That’s all I know. I know something happens. I’m not sure what it is.”

There you have it, folks! Warburton isn’t talking. At least he’s not talking details. At least not any details that he knows about. But we’ll know a teensy bit more next month when the Halloween special airs, and in the meantime, co-creator Jackson Publick released some stills from that special that we can all gaze upon. And honestly, who isn’t happy to hear any kind of news from Venture-town, even if it contains exactly zero new information?
