thanks so much, this really made my day.
Also this is great as it will mean we will get to be back in america, maybe see flint paper or how the old car gets smashed (be neat if that had something to do with the story and link it up). Btw, thanks for having sam and max make appearance in my country hehe!
I like the fact that you really packed this one with humerous dialouge, i've really feel spoilt.
Cant thank you enough, sam and max is endless inspiration for me and my cartoons.
Yay, more american mayhem for the two critters! I just *need* to see the DeSoto Adventurer. Seeing how it is evidently the single most indestructible thing in the universe, it has to be still around.

Oh no guys, if you're desperate to see Sam & Max back in the US of A stick to the games. There's a reason why it was set in the UK, and that reason hasn't been revealed yet. Something tells me their flight's going to be delayed...
And it's Rats on a Plane, by the looks of things.

I just thought of something. Earlier in this series Max told the "doctor" to make sure Sam's towel didn't fall off so he wouldn't have to be horrified by Sam's "Hideous junk".
Does that mean that Max has no "hideous junk" but Sam does? Because Max never wears pants! Or is it so small it is concealed by his fur? Or is he wearing a white jumpsuit? Or am I asking way too many questions about something that's just a comic strip?
Yeah, that's probably it.
Either way, hooray for another great S&M tale! .........S&M tale?

Hey Steve,
Maybe you should consider making an Season 2 of the animated series, I bet you could sign a contract with someone for it (maybe Gametap). I bet they wouldn't mind having another series of exclusive (and new) cartoons to go along with the next season of the games. :D

Guess that Eisner nomination was a good impetus to finish up the storyline after so much time. Thanks for the update tho, Mr. Purcell! Comics-for-free is always nice! I'd certainly buy them though, if it meant regular print installments (HINT HINT).
I bought the games and they weren't very fun to play: I can't enjoy the games untill they are up to the challenge level of the Monkey Island games. I don't care how cheap or expensive they are if they aren't fun to play through - they could be free and I would still not enjoy playing through them just for the jokes. For me to enjoy playing games they have to be fun AND funny - or even just fun without funny - but not just funny. I might pay to watch it as a serialized show just for the funny, tho. Maybe they could add a "Play it/Just Watch it" option to the games, like a passive playthrough perhaps. Seems like it'd be simpler to just add in a "Hard Mode" to the game itself tho, like Curse of Monkey Island's "Mega Monkey" mode.

Ron Inn: Technically, Max is fuzzy, not furry.
"Back at the Jungle Inn, the tar and the hair worked just fine with the stiltwalker suit, but when we used the suit, the bouncer felt there was still something wrong with Max's head. I've thought this for years, but I think he meant Max is fuzzy instead of furry."

I wonder if we will see more of that hot stewardess, nevermind that Max doesn't like girls!
"Geezuz, Max, you don't even like girls!" "Oh, yeah, I forgot!"

These comics are awsome!
Really glad to see all that you've gotten to do with Sam & Max now. I've enjoyed your work for so long and always find it a pleasure to look at, though I wish I knew more of it beyond Sam & Max. I was pleasantly suprised when I discovered that you work for Pixar.
I really liked the surreal and warped image you got into Spectrum awhile back, by the way. It was a pleasant suprise since it was the first thing by you in a long time that I'd gotten to see. Wish I could remember the issue number so I could pick it up.
Oh, never got to thank you for the Max doodle you did for me when I bought the animated series VHSs, thank you. It's always nice to have something tangible to look at of an artist's work.
Haha, score! Purcell drops out of nowhere to win an Eisner!
I have reaffirmed faith in the comics industry.

I'll start off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sam: Hang on a walrus! This flight attendant is actually...(pulls off her mask)...Bobby Carlson
Max: Who is Bobby Carlson? Some other attention-seeking humaniod in drag?
(Now running from seat, grabs Max upside down) Sam: Bobby Carlson is the sweatiest guy of the nation's time, he had to be escorted from all the film award ceremonies.
Max: Sam are you ok? This is a film star! You should be mingling with him (rushes over to the Bobby, from Sam's grasp)
Sam: No Max, he has sweat all over him! (over-dramatically)

[A HIJACKER, who looks as diametrically-opposed as possible to the 21st-century notion of what a hijacker looks like, stands up and grabs a flight attendant. He holds a pen to her throat.]
HIJACKER: Nobody move! I'm taking over this plane!
ATTENDANT: Eep!
HIJACKER: Take this plane to Martha's Vineyard or the stewardess gets it!
OTHER PASSENGER: Isn't that a Sharpie(tm)?

MAX: Wow, this is exciting!
SAM: Yeah, I haven't been part of a hostage situation in almost a week!
MAX: I'm gonna hurt him!
SAM: Okay, but mind the other passengers.
MAX: No promises!
