New shirt and sales in the Telltale store
To celebrate the San Diego Comic-Con taking place this week, Telltale have created a special section in their store to offer discounts on certain items; of note are all the Sam and Max seasons and the paperback version of Surfin’ the Highway. Everything has two dollar signs so you know it’s a bargain.
There is also a brand new shirt, “featuring your favorite dog and lagomorph crimefighting team during their salad days”, for the sale price of $15.16. Members of the cotton fanclub can also be satisfied with the 100% dominance they hold in the shirt’s materials.
What do you think of the new shirt? I’d personally like to see Telltale try something a bit more abstract with their designs – something that a non-Sam and Max fan could appreciate while at the same time allowing us obsessives to pick up on the reference to the series.

The final episode is upon us, ready for you to download and consume like a maniac. For those who have already purchased the season, head over to
Have you ever wanted to glug down a liquid of your choice in a shot glass with Max’s flaming face on, wear Max Imp printed on a shirt or pin five Devil Playhouse buttons on your clothes or bag? Of course you have.
Over the next few months John and I cavorted and frolicked and gamboled as only an alligator and his surrogate mother, who also happens to be a biped rabbity thing, could.

Ugh, I would’ve gotten this shirt – if only they came in girl sizes!!! So I’ll settle for the Max crossbones one

I love the classic style Sam & Max so I rather like this shirt. But I also agree with what you’re saying about the abstract-y thing I would like to see more of that too. But I am deffo getting that shirt when I can! =D

Hi Joe- This throw back Sam & Max shirt was my answer to folks who were craving a more literal depiction of the Freelance Police. I remade and updated a shirt that I brought to the Con back in ’92.
I think the new “Max Imp” shirt can appeal to someone who knows nothing about the characters but like a simple punchy image (The Max and crossbones was a really popular design for fans and non-fans alike).
Don’t worry, I’d love to try some other ideas in the future but didn’t want to leave out people who just want to have the characters as they are on a shirt and ComicCon felt like a good excuse to revisit this image which I always liked.

I get you, Steve. I’ll be picking it up, it’s an awesome design regardless. It’s good to see something printed on white for once, too. Not a fan of black shirts.
I assume it’d be quite costly to print, but I think a full shirt design rather than a single motif would work great if done well.
