Holy-Aunt-Betty-In-A-Rented-Hamster-Suit!

For those of you who are Sam and Max fans from either the old Lucas Arts PC game, the cartoon series or the old comic, here is a fun treat.
There is a new Sam and Max PC game that is available! (sounds of S&M fans rejoicing) What’s unique about this game is that it is being released overtime in episodes like a cartoon series. Season one has already been released and they’re already into season two! Check out the official website of Tell Tale Games.
The really cool part of this whole thing for me is that Steve Purcell (the creator of S&M) is creating a new S&M comic! This sort of "graphic novel" is being release entirely online in pieces kind of like the game. Steve told me when I met him at the Comic Con in San Diego, that once he has completed the comic he will publish it with a combined republication of the original comics. I can’t wait! If you want to read the comic just click here.
Steve also told me that the animated series will eventually be released on DVD at some point in either the fall or the spring. If you want to check out the series it can be viewed for free at GameTap (To view it on their site, click "Animation" up in the top left, then click "Sam & Max Animated Series," ).
Sam: (reading a Greek restaurant sign) "No shirt, no shoes, no souvlaki." HA HA That’s funny!
Max: At least pants are optional.
