That’s right, plebes, Steve Purcell won an Eisner for Best Digital Comic for his work on the Sam & Max web comic over at Telltale.

Also, Telltale was doing their thing at Comic-Con, and apparently it was a pretty interesting occasion. Check out their blog for some new artwork and screens for Season Two and for some pictures of a terrifyingly adorable Sam & Max costume. Watch the Telltale store for the release of a new Steve Purcell sketchbook and a new print that were both available at the Con!

Finally, the Telltale team got around to scrapping together the last part of the History of Sam & Max, highlighting the dark times before Season One when one Sam & Max project would fail after another. Go relive that bleak epoch and cherish the now, fiends!

If you already knew that Season Two of Sam & Max has been announced for this fall,
I hope that you at least appreciated my thoughtful wordplay. Things to expect from the sophomore season include, but are not limited to: a diner (check out the image in the link, I don’t think it’s a Snucky’s though) and the release of episodes one day later on the Telltale website than their debut on GameTap.

Summer of Sam & Max has been updated to include special features for Episodes Three and Four and Part Three of The History of Sam & Max, which deals primarily with the short-lived animated series on the Fox network.

With Comic-Con starting today, more news is certain to break just around the bend, and as always, we’ll be here to deliver it to you a week or two later past its expiration date or your money back. Speaking of money, there’s talks about even more merchandise looming in the near future, so you may want to consider curbing reckless spending until then. Keep your fingers crossed for a stuffed Max doll with realistically sharp teeth!

That’s right, kidarooskies, Telltale’s Summer of Sam & Max is sailing on without a hitch, bringing us the goods with installments for Weeks Three and Four. Week Three helps you wring out the last drops of enjoyment from Situation: Comedy and Week Four is rife with revelations nestled inside of the History of Sam & Max Part Deux feature. Some great pictures and little known tidbits contained within, and it is likely to pique the interest of even the most decorated veteran S&M junkies.
