    I think it's clear what has happened - Razahyder has cruelly sent Mr. Purcell to the corporate wasteland of Hell. This does mean, however, that Sam & Max will get to meet him in person!

    Last I read, someone on TTG no less, was that Steve is pretty much done with the webcomic hosted on this site. It was to act as a bridge between either HTR or the Cartoons and when Season 1 launched. Or so I remember reading.

    I'm sure someone less lazy than myself can find said information. Or Emily or Jake could post confirming or denying said information.

    I think I read somewhere (or maybe it was in a dvd comment) that the webcomic was sort of a backup plan for if the games turned out bad; Steve's way of ensuring the site would have at least some quality Sam & Max material no matter what. With him being quite pleased with the way the games turned out, the motivation for continuing the comic has dwindled.

    What he said. Though I wish Steve would pick it up again. :(

    Steve said he has some stuff cooking for the next chapter, but there's no time estimate.

    What about his whole "Space Casino constructed inside the stolen Statue of Liberty" plot he outlined in the DVD feature from the most recent ComiCon? That plot sounded like fun!

    I sense a lot of meta-jokes involving exposition for the unfamilar.

    What we REALLY need to do is scream at Purcell to finish the comic where Max got shot and got replaced with a gibbon. He said he has it almost done, dammit.

    oh, come on, it wouldn't be the first time.
    he got vaporized in "bad day on the moon"
    and
    was turned into a zombie just recently
    , which counts as being dead in my understanding..

    Yes, of course. I meant 'die' in the 'disappear for ever under the shade of a gravestone' sense of the term.

    When are we gettin' that ol' Sam & Max movie, anyway? With all the heightened coverage they're getting these days, it's high time we got the mother of all detective buddy movies!

    One of the bonus features on the animated series DVD had Purcell hinting about the story to a potential movie, where aliens steal the Statue of Liberty and turn it into a restaurant on the moon, or something. I hope they end up making it. :D

    That would be most excellent! For nigh on 20 years now, I've longed to sit in a movie theater during the opening trailers and see an ad for an up-and-coming gritty detective movie that ultimately reveals Sam & Max as the hero characters. Heck, the first time I saw the Underdog trailer, I actually thought it was going to reveal Sam & Max. I got SO excited... Then I saw a dog dressed like Superman and wept openly.

    I mean COME ON! Not only was it live-action, but it's as far removed from the original concept of Underdog as possible!

    Don't go there. I'm just hoping Speed Racer is the saving grace in a series of bad film decisions that all started with Rocky and Bullwinkle.

    I'm just looking forward to Speed Racer for the new Clone Wars trailer! I'm weary of the film itself, non-speedtalking Speed? Just ain't right!

    Seen the Clone Wars trailer, wasn't impressed. Tarkofsky's designs don't really translate very well into 3D, with the acception going to Obi-Wan and Anikin. But Duku looks like a Moai Head. :D

    And there is speed talking in Speed, as hinted in the first trailer where the bad guy is telling speed that he won't place let alone finish the race if he doesn't sign the contract. I'm just wondering if they will do any obligatory "ha-HA!" anywhere.

    Not for long, I'd think, with the renued popularity of S+M he's surely getting plenty of royalties! (popularity that would INCREASE if he'd finish his webcomic, start another S+M comic book, convince somone to make anotehr S+M tv series (preferably not a "kiddy friendly" one either), or make a S+M movie...)

    For now thouth, I'm enjoying the telltale content (well enjoyED it) and am enjoying StH and when I get desperate I'll star playing HtR. But afterwards....... *sigh*

    Er, why would you want to leave Pixar. I mean, even assuming that royalties were paying him gobs of money, I imagine that A) Pixar pays better, and B) Pixar is just about the most artistically fulfilling job you could have.
  • AshtonAshton
    edited April 2008
    I had not considered the artistic fufillment, in that case he probably wouldn't leave... likewise he probably wont have the time to do any major comic-drawing... I wonder if he could/would appoint a ghost-artist to draw the characters and he just supply the plot and jokes and such...

    Not from what his Pixar co-workers said about him in the Short Films DVD. They said that drawings and sketches are like Steve Purcell's waste product, he's always producing.
