The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency Panel Debuts at San Diego Comic-Con

JOEY, MATTHEW & ANDREW LAWRENCE
ANNOUNCE THE FORMING OF THE LAWRENCE BROTHERS DETECTIVE AGENCY

LAWRENCE BROTHERS & GRAPHIC NOVEL CREATIVE TEAM APPEARING AT SAN DIEGO COMIC CON FOR PANEL ON SUNDAY, JULY 27

You know our motto at Saturday Morning Cereal:
We celebrate the themes of Saturday morning TV that we not only grew up with — but that grew up with us.

And there are few stars who’ve grown alongside us like Joey Lawrence — that toe-headed, mop-topped breakout from Gimme a Break! (a trailblazing sitcom in its own right), who went on to become a Teen Beat poster boy in Blossom and full-on grown-up heartthrob ever since (kind of like our host, Marke).

Now, the Lawrence Brothers — Joey, Matt, and Andrew — are returning to the spotlight with a brand-new comic book adventure that’s as self-aware as it is surreal:
️‍♂️ The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency

This satirical fever dream pokes fun at the absurdity of pop culture while letting the bros turn their own childhood fame into noir-fueled mischief.

Appearing live at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, the brothers will be joined by co-writers The Berkowitz Brothers (Josh Gad’s The Writer) and comics artist Sean Von Gorman (The Pedestrian) to dish on fame, family, and why now is the perfect time to kick off their next great era — in graphic novel form.

Moderated by Ryan J. Downey (MTV News, Billboard), this panel promises laughs, nostalgia, and plenty of “whoa.”

WHEN: Sunday, July 27, 2025 11:15am-12:15pm PT
WHERE: Convention Center Room 6DE
WHO: Joey, Matt, and Andrew Lawrence, The Berkowitz Brothers, Sean Von Gorman
WHAT: The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency panel + Kickstarter launch

Whether you watched Joey save the day in Brotherly Love or crushed hard on Matt in Boy Meets World, this one’s for you.

SAN DIEGO COMIC COM PANEL

SUNDAY, JULY 27, 2025

ROOM 6DE

11:15a – 12:15p PT  

Whether you know them from Blossom, Boy Meets World or Brotherly Love, The Lawrence Brothers have been pop-culture icons for 30+ years. Now they are teaming with The Berkowitz Brothers, Sean Von Gormanand Z2 to bring fans The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency, an original graphic novel series, launching on Kickstarter, July 24th, 2025.

The Lawrence Brothers share “We are so excited to bring The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency to life with the Berkowitz Brothers. You have never seen us like this before and we cannot wait for you to join us on this epic quest to uncover some wild mysteries. We are beyond excited to join the Kickstarter community and get our fans involved.”

Co-Created and written by The Lawrence Brothers (Joey, Matt and Andrew) and the Berkowitz Brothers (Josh Gad’s The Writer) with additional writing from Brian Yuran and art by Eisner-nominated Sean Von Gorman, of Comics, this darkly funny graphic novel reimagines former child stars Joey, Matthew, and Andrew Lawrence as reluctant heroes battling a conspiracy that’s warping the very fabric of fame. Set against the surreal backdrop of a corrupted Hollywood, The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency follows the brothers as they survive a monster outbreak at Comic-Con, uncover a nostalgia prison run by AI, and infiltrate a secret cult rewriting entertainment history. Filled with sibling rivalry and faded celebrity, this is a satirical fever dream about identity, memory, and the absurdity of pop culture. Think BoJack Horseman meets Chinatown. Smart, surreal, and completely not what anyone expected… and that’s exactly the point.
