Alive at 25...

Weirdly enough, San Diego Comic-Con weekend occasionally makes me think of comics, and my own sporadically spastic dabblings in the funny book arts. The first published Sam & Max comic appeared on the stands just 25 years ago. Since then, the deranged little critters have clung to survival like a pair of mutant sewie rats, jumping aboard any form of media they could sink their nasty little claws into. But what lies in their future? What bits of folksy, gentle Sam & Maxish whimsy shall be revealed in the dawn of the next 25 years? And if you had a say, what would you want it to be?

Sam & Max Graven Images

I don't have an online store (yet), but if you crave the tangible physical presence of Sam & Max in your home, you can find these lovingly realized figures at SYMBIOTE STUDIOS.

Place them next to your wallet to attract magical Feng Shui money spirits or in the trunk of the car to bludgeon bothersome election year petitioners. Tie one to your deceased pet to keep it submerged in the pond or buy dozens to shoot off your fence posts with a 12 gauge.

Enjoy! And enjoy some more!

Feeling all Thunder Chunky

Here's an INTERVIEW from a U.K. site about Sam & Max mostly and a bit about my day job.

A goofy interview I did for this website.

HOW SAM & MAX HIT THE ROAD TAUGHT ME TO LOVE WORDS

This article from Kotaku came in yesterday as well. Always disconcerting to hear from grown-ups who were little kids when they first played it. I'll be over here in my coffin if anyone needs me.

Worst President Ever...

I'm feeling like a neglectful blog-poster after all my hollow promises to be updating more often. Do people actually check blogs anymore or should I be grappling like a chimp with a more modern delivery system to present my near-useless content?

Speaking of which; this little story happily popped into my sphere today and I couldn't be more proud of the adorable little urchin!

HAIL TO THE CHIEF! MAX ELECTED WORST VIDEO GAME PRESIDENT BY A LANDSLIDE


(Today's subject line - Sure to draw disgruntled political web-searches!)

Tattoo Friday #7

Here's a fine offering that not only includes some of my Monkey Island art montaged with some others, but a shot of Sam & Max suited up for a game of Fizzball as well! UPDATE: in case you want one just like it or a somehow even cooler selection, this work of living art was scrimshawed upon the hide of David Webb by tat pro, Dor Stocker of Sims Tattoo in South London. Thanks for sharing, David!

Now, just lean in and let this mural of flesh wash over you like a misty rainbow of love.
