    Here's my question:

    Since Sam & max was originally your brother's idea, has he made any comics as of late? If not, did he make any other comics besides Sam & Max when he was a kid?

    [EDIT] I just saw the website link. I would've put my question on there, but you need to sign in & I'm too lazy to do that.

    I can't post a comment. I cant find a box to type in or a link to click on. So ill just put my questions here for now.

    1. Do you think it's unfair how Max gets to be president, high priest of the sea chimps, have psychic powers, etc. and all Sam gets is a suit and a massive gun (double entendre not intended)

    2. Do you think Season 3 will be as awesome as Season 2? Are you excited or proud of it?

    3. Have you ever considered voicing a character in one of the games or did you consider it during the tv season?

    4. I heard you work at Pixar, or at least you have worked there once at least. What did you do there?

    5. What are you going to use the money from your auction of the Monkey Island print for?

    6. Do you like Chinese food? I know a good place...

    7. What sort of TV shows are you into?

    8. Have you begun to grow tired of Sam & Max? If not, do you think you ever will?

    9. What's with the hat? I've seen you wearing it in pictures and videos. Never in person, unfortunately...

    10. What's your opinion of other Telltale Games? Do you play them? Things like Strong Bad and Monkey Island and Wallace and Gromit. If you haven't played them, have you played the Sam & Max games, or just helped make them?


    And there we go. Done. And if any of you take these questions, I'm gonna hunt you down and... thank you for finding me insightful!

    Sorry... seems the comment rating feature bugged itself and made the comment box vanish. Should all be sorted now. Go forth with your questions (...on the site)!

    it reminds me of a joke from a radio show

    SEAGOON: Who do you think you are!?
    ECCLES: NAPOLEON!
    SEAGOON: You're Napoleon?
    ECCLES: No, but that's who I think I am

    I'd really like to know, if he knows of my poster project and what he thinks of it. On the other hand I'm scared that he didn't know about it, looks it up and sues my ass off...

    I hate single word answers (especially the one I'm gonna give), but this time it IS the perfect thing to do. *Clears throat*

    This.

    Haha that's cool. I've been scanning the artworks in the back of Surfing the Highway and using them as backgrounds on my iPod. Although I have put them into poster format, I really don't want to print them unless its OK to. I mean, I don't want to hurt Steve's feelings or anything...

    I'll answer your question for you. Unless it comes out in English in Norway, it will need to be sent over and have new dialogue recorded, which could take several months, so it probably will got to the Norwegian PSN, but not straight away.

    Steve Purcell isn't the one to contact. He does storyline, etc. You'd be better to contact some of the web team or people like that at Telltale.

    Steve, I must ask, after Lucasarts canceled their adventure genre and made you leave, and after all these years, do you miss your glory days? And today, more classics are being released from them. Would you like your game to be released with them? I would like to see it back for the next generation of gamers to experience.:)

    He's credited in Cars as a story artist, I believe. He's also hiding in other recent films' credits, but I don't remember where. Check special thanks?

    Don't you mean "would you like your games to be released with them"?
