Without a doubt, Adventure Time has one of the most rabid followings of any animated show currently out there.  If you’ve been to Comic-Con, you likely have seen a ton of Finn, Jake, or Fionna outfits.  The cartoon smartly appeals to boys, girls, and men and women with a zany world and fun story that builds on itself.  Oh, and not to mention a catch-phrase that you can say to any fan that they will immediately respond to.  This was one of my most-anticipated panels in San Diego this year and as a new fan I was not disappointed Saturday afternoon.  Creator and voice of Lumpy Space Princess Pendleton Ward was on hand to moderator the panel filled with songwriter Rebecca Sugar, Jeremy Shada (Finn), John DiMaggio (Jake), and Tom Kenny (Ice King).  Hit the jump for the panel highlights, the radio play audio, and a full description of the upcoming Flame Princess episode clip shown.

Pendleton Ward’s Adventure Time offers a bright, weird, subversively funny experience to its viewers, so it should come as no surprise that Justin Ishmael (creative director at Mondo and a known fan of the weird, colorful, and subversive things in life) would be amongst the show’s ever-expanding army of fans.  And as such, it should come as no surprise that the Mondo Gallery’s second-ever show would end up being based on Ward’s series.  On Friday, that show opened in Austin, TX, and was quickly followed by an Adventure Time marathon/screening at the Alamo Drafthouse.   Wanna see some art from the show?  Hear what an Adventure Time marathon (and specialty menu) was like for someone who’d never seen the series?   Wanna read an exclusive interview with Pen Ward and Adventure Time star Tom Kenny?  It’s all after the jump, folks.
