A couple quick updates for the curious. Many people recently have been wondering how to get ahold of Sam & Max comics. Its become especially difficult ever since the Surfin’ the Highway compilation book was discontinued a few years back. Reader Tom Lau wrote in to say he asked Steve Purcell if and when a new comic collection would be made available, and here’s his answer:

That’s probably the most asked question I’ve heard in the past few months. Yeah, that collection will come out again, […] just have to pin down the gruesome details.

We’ll have more news on a reprint of Surfin the Highway (or a new different-named collection) if and when any more news presents itself.

On the Sam & Max 2 game news front, “MrFossey” has written in to remind me that Gamespot lists Sam & Max Freelance Police’s release date as “May 14th, 2004.” While that would be really cool, I suspect the game won’t be coming out that soon — we have a while to wait yet — and Gamespot is just basing that on the original press release and other press material that LucasArts put out when the game was announced.

I could be totally wrong and the game will show up right at the start of Summer this year, but I bet that since LucasArts hasn’t really ramped up the press and marketing machine yet (we’ve only seen three or four screenshots so far, all scanned out of wacky Australian magazines), the game has a ways to go before they unveil it.
