Sam and Max to Join the Dark Side
Sam & Max: A New Hope?
The webcomic VG Cats has published their own take on the news of Sam & Max 2’s cancellation, not surprisingly in webcomic form. Hopefully the Freelance Police wouldn’t resort to that, but it wouldn’t be the first time (or second or third time) Sam and Max found themselves partaking in George Lucas’ grand epic space opera, or whatever it is.
Something Is Right Here (get it?)
In other news, a few people have asked me what the heck the “Something’s Not Right Here” comic is that appeared in Fox Kids Magazine. It was, more or less, a giant illustration of Sam and Max in their office, filling up two pages of the magazine, in which everything had gone wrong.
There was a train coming out of Sam’s desk, a giant squid outside their window, the wall was slowly becoming unzipped, etc, and readers were supposed to spot the mistakes. A decoder key was included later in the magazine, but the mistakes listed were a bit odd, like the fact that the train was late, or Max’s nailpolish wasn’t his color. Anyway, Steve Purcell did a painting based on the original “Something’s Not Right Here” illustration, and has sent me a scan of it for you to all enjoy.
I’ll be back in a few days with some new reader-submitted fan art, and a tale or two about how people have responded to Sam & Max 2’s untimely cancellation.
