Quickie contest: draw an ape, win APE art!
Posted by Emily	November 4, 2008
So this weekend was APE. It was so much fun we forgot to take pictures, besides these two. Ooops. Left to right: Emily studies the copy on the Cow Race case while Graham writes something on a piece of paper; Doug and Emily posing with our friend Eriq Chang. Graham Annable spent the weekend at the table with us, selling various and sundry Grickle merch, and Steve Purcell showed up on Sunday to sign books and chat up his loyal fans. During the downtime, both of them drew the sketches you see below. Here's where the fun comes in! There's more to this entry! Keep Reading »

Do your civic duty and vote! (For Max)
Posted by Emily	November 3, 2008
In a little over 24 hours, we Americans should have a new president.* Whew. If you are in the US (and old enough), we hope you're planning to vote tomorrow. It could just be the most important thing you do for the next four years. And hey, guess what?! We have a completely free, no-strings-attached politically-relevant game to get you in the mood! (Of course, if you're not in the US and/or are not old enough to vote, you can still entertain yourself with the free game while tomorrow's events unfold. Better to laugh with us than at us, after all.) DOWNLOAD ABE LINCOLN MUST DIE! (Or if you prefer, check out Abe Lincoln Must Die in the newly released Sam & Max Season One for Wii!) We hope you'll take this unique opportunity to join Sam & Max for a peek into how government is really run. And you can take comfort in the fact that no matter how bizarre the political scene becomes, it'll never be as bizarre as that time the Secret Service brought the Lincoln Memorial to life in an attempt to take over the world. I hope not, anyway. As you're playing the game, here are a few presidential links you may enjoy: Abe Lincoln Must Die walkthrough Abe Lincoln Must Die "Did you try?" list Max for President campaign site Max in GamesRadar's listing of "Top 7 Fictional Presidents" *Assuming tomorrow's election goes more smoothly than the last two...

This weekend: see us at APE in San Francisco
Posted by Emily	October 31, 2008
We will be at the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco this weekend. Of all the shows we do, this one is my favorite* because it's small, down to earth, and not a pain in the ass. Also there are lots of cool indie comics for sale and interesting people to talk to. Including us! Alternative Press Expo The Concourse 620 7th Street San Francisco Saturday, 11/1 - 11 am to 7 pm Sunday, 11/2 - 11 am to 6 pm Reasons you should come: Telltale's booth! We're at booth 568, which we think is sorta near where we were last year. We'll have much of the loot from our online store for sale AND... take a deep breath... a few remaining copies of Steve's Sam & Max sketchbooks which are now out of print. We only take cash at these things, so bring some if you want stuff. We'll also have a Wii with us to demo Baddest of the Bands and Sam & Max. Graham Annable! Graham will be sharing a table with us this year. In addition to the stuff we sell in the store, Graham always brings nice paintings to this show, plus he'll be selling a new art book featuring work by him, Scott Campbell, Jon Klassen, and Israel Sanchez. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it's excellent. Steve Purcell! On Sunday Steve's joining us for a signing. Noonish? I'm not exactly sure, but he'll be there to sign books and prints and arms and legs, and we'll have a grand old time. Andy Hartzell!** The author of Fox Bunny Funny (and one of our Wallace & Gromit designers will be at the Global Hobo table (booth 287) selling three new comics. I forget what they're called but he showed them to me and they're quality. Andy's also doing a panel, Sunday from 3:45-5:00, entitled "The Bay Area's Young Cartoonists." Intriguing. Bottom line, if you're in the San Francisco area, this is how you want to spend your Saturday and/or Sunday. Plus it's supposed to rain all weekend, so what else could you possibly have to do? Besides PAX. I love PAX too. But at APE we can set up in about 20 minutes including a coffee break... *If you were paying attention, you may have noticed some in The Heist.

Halloween contest winners, and prizes for everyone!

Posted by Emily

October 31, 2008

Our annual Halloween contest has come to a close, and as usual, choosing the winning entries was INCREDIBLY difficult. We had so many great entries, we decided to bend the rules. That's why, in addition to awarding Sam & Max or Strong Bad prize packs to the five winners, we've also selected five honorable mentions to receive the downloadable season of your choice, and everyone who entered will be getting a free downloadable game of your choice. Yes, folks, it's a Halloween miracle!

Without further ado, I bring you this year's winners! (Emails will be sent to the winners at some point in the near future!)

Toy Mafia Pencil Topper
by Glen Fernández

Glen explains: "I made a toy bear sculpture (from Sam & Max 103) with a working pencil sharpener and the head can be attached on the tip of any pencil."

The judges overwhelmingly agreed that this is not only awesome, it looks like something that should be real and for sale in our store. Well done.
