Hello heroes! I come bearing some totally rhombus Adventure Time news that spewed forth directly from the mouth of Pendleton Ward himself! The panel I went to at Wondercon for Adventure Time was probably the third best panel I've ever been to in my life. Not only was it extremely entertaining, it was extremely informing as well.
I'll start with the entertaining aspect. There was really only one main reason that this panel was so entertaining, and that reason is PENDLETON WARD. Ward may be one of the funniest people I've ever seen in person, and I can definitely see where the show gets its unique sense of humor. To name a major instance of Ward's hilarity, somewhere within the first 15 or so minutes he got onto a tirade about farts. Apparently, the censorship peoples at Cartoon Network told him that he was allowed to make fart jokes, but they just couldn't be wet farts. Pendleton Ward had a spider who was pooping silk out of its butt, and he was very firm in his belief that the sound effect used was not that of a wet fart. Nevertheless, he had the entire room howling with laughter. Most of the other funny Ward moments came during the Q&A segment. Off the top of my head I can remember him serenading a man in a Blanka (Street Fighter) costume that kept catching his eye, and asking a questioner with a deep voice to sing "Chocolate Rain" with him.
Enough with the singing and farts! Onto the announcements concerning Season 4!

Minor Announcements:
Almost the entire panel can be found on this Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/RayeliB I recommend you watch it, it's very funny and you get to see a video clip!
I hope these tidbits will leave you as excited as I am! Leave a comment below telling us what you're most excited for!
