Sometimes you run into takes that are so bad that you can’t help but roll your eyes, then you run into one so idiotic and clearly in bad faith that you can’t help but wonder if someone like Lily Orchard decided to make an alt so she can hijack a specific fandom in secret.
I run into these situations way too often for comfort and still people often wonder why I get so misanthropic. (At least sometimes)
guys please for the love of god reblog peoples art. Like if you like it, reblog it. Idk. Like yes it's annoying to see "reblogs > likes" under a post but tumblr's tagging system and algorithm is absolutely shit. I see so many incredible artists who's work goes under the radar because of this. So just please. Reblog people's art. They worked hard on it. That shit takes hours- days to complete. The rb to like ratio has just plummeted in the past decade I've been on this site. Tumblr has no algorithm. You may personally like an art piece but if you want others to see it and share it, you gotta reblog it. Not meant to be a guilt trip, I just think we need to start showing artists more support- ESPECIALLY in this age of AI. So please- IF YOU LIKE IT, REBLOG IT ♡

finally finished up that comic i drew in december………almost a year later lmfao
very ooc but i think its interesting to think about what they’d say if they let their feelings out freely
Yes, I’m very much aware of the fact that Sam and Max aren’t the cuddly and affectionate types, at least not usually. Do I still love them and imagine them enjoying both softer moments as well as their more chaotic ones? Absolutely. I know, it’s bs to care about other people. People are garbage. But we all can be a little foolish and forget that sometimes.
Based on a small secret I found poking through TDPH again. Don't vote for puddin' head.
I seldom utilize stretching in my stuff, let alone animations, but this was a good start to break out of that habit. Shoulda payed more attention to the hat though.
Here’s a little something I did of SpongeBob and Gary!
I did a bunch of Sam and Max sketches. One of those being an idea I had rattling in my brain for a while, that being the “Max Apocalypse” scenario. I guess I could have just did the alternate timeline from The Devil’s Playhouse considering the many Maxes, buuut, my brain thought that making them “zombies” that turn others they bite into strange rabbity things would be cooler.
I guess I’m also making fun of that this frickin Lagomorph is consuming my very mind XD I’m so fucked aren’t I? Might as well enjoy the ride while I’m on it!
It truly is a Max world

This is so good
Im working on a comic for myself, this is the only page I will share publicly, the rest im gatekeeping
Reblog this if you support LGBTQIA+ rights, unfollow/dni if you can't do it
Edit: I'm sorry for not putting a flash warning before, and not reblogging doesn't necessarily make you a bad person. What I'm saying is to dni/unfollow if you don't support LGBT+ rights
Need more Sybil and max friend stuff....
Okay, okay. If anyone is looking for an idea for a Sam and Max animatic, I got just the thing for ya!
Sam and Max animatics using the audio of the Wilkins Coffee commercials! Sam as Wontkins, Max as Wilkins! (Max definitely fits the part considering how well he’s known for being cartoonishly violent and he definitely has a caffeine addiction!)
Also, a few of the commercials have moments where the puppets crossdress, one even being Wilkins as Wontkins’s “wife” no less!
This too good of an idea NOT to use! Please, take it! I’m not confident enough to be a youtuber!
Ridiculous trivial Sam and Max detail that I shouldn’t be taking as seriously as I do:
I’ve always felt uncomfortable over Max supposedly having bones in his ears, which is shown off in many different instances. (I assume it’s so his head shape could still be recognized even in skeleton form for comedic effect.) I don’t feel this way because it’s weird, I love Max and his weird self! I mostly just feel bad knowing how uncomfortable that must be for him. Now I came up with this theory that those “ear bones” are just an exotic form of thick dense cartilage that resembles bone and hardens into calcium after death, mostly because I see Max’s ears flop around anyway despite the implied ear bones. Then it turned into a theory about his ENTIRE skeletal system minus his teeth being made of this exotic form of cartilage.
I think way too much about the anatomy of a cartoon rabbity thing than I should. But I do it anyway, because it’s my existential crisis, and I get to choose what to do with it!
I think Max can handle an owl lol
Sam and Max sketch from my busy office job.

Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse - 2024 Tribute
Got to play through the remaster of my favorite adventure game of all time. Have had so much fun revisiting it.
To preface: I’m not SUPER old, but I’m old enough to be classified as an older-gen snm enjoyer. And as an older enjoyer, it confuses the ever-loving BEJEBUS out of me whenever fellow older-gen snm enjoyers are so opposed to Sam and Max being a couple that it’s like you asked them to sell their souls to Satan himself and then run around an amusement park buck-naked dragging an 18-wheeler full of yaoi manga behind them using only the strength of their toes. The gayness is not contagious, I PROMISE you.
Why am I talking about this? I’m watching a ‘Sam and Max Gay Moments’ (yes, the one with over a million views) compilation on YouTube, and you have a bunch of older-gens around my age and older in the comments trying to denote any notion to them being gay. Like, what??? Believe what you want, that’s fine, I don’t care if you ship them or if you don’t, I’ll respect you either way, but why are you attacking people who do? You funny, funny people.
It’s peak masculinity to be able to kiss/marry your male friends without any sort of questioning or hesitancy of your manhood, if you ask me
Old Sam & Max Art I was proud of
Here's an old comic I made a few months ago...
The Adventures of Sam and Max: Freelance Police reboot when?
Would honestly be interested to see Sam and Max back as cartoons. The original was funny and way ahead of its time when it comes to writing.
Sam & Max Cameo in Rocket Raccoon (1985) - Issue #3
I FINALLY got the motivation to finish an art piece! And it’s of the Sam clones from Sam and Max: The Devil’s Playhouse!

these two have been living in my brain rent free send help.
SPOILERS FOR SAM AND MAX: THE DEVIL’S PLAYHOUSE
(Also a rough personal vent based on how much this game resonated with me. Trust me, it’s not for the faint of heart. Warning: contains instances of childhood trauma and the many other mental health conditions it came with)
This game did so much justice for Sam and Max themselves, considering how this game is the first time anyone has seen these two in this multi-layered light since the original was released by Telltale back in 2010. I could go on about how this game has very much given me even more appreciation for Sam, because it has! But I really do want to talk about what was confirmed in this game about Max.
First of all, I love that when we’re in the Museum of Mostly Natural History in the episode They Stole Max’s Brain, we get an exhibit on how “the world will end” which shows a display of a giant monster destroying a city and the scene mechanically rotating into a desolate wasteland where the city used to stand. Mostly because of how well it works as foreshadowing for what was to come, (that foreshadowing also happened in The Penal Zone where Sam and Max first discover the Toybox) which ended up being Max turning into that giant monster that was predicted to bring the end of the world by the end of The Alley of the Dolls.
In the grand finale The City That Dares Not Sleep, when we’re literally inside Max himself, we end up learning his own Super Ego hates him and wants him to die. The Superego isn’t a separate entity, he is very much a part of Max’s own mind. I’m pretty sure every other Sam and Max fan who’s played this game has pointed out Max being as depressed and self-loathing as he is, and hiding it behind his sense of humor and his iconic smile. (He even brings up earlier in The Tomb of Sammun-Mak that he likes to fall asleep to the song “Tears of a Clown” which if you’ve heard of it, it’s 100% because he relates to that song. That’s just more good foreshadowing)
Honestly, I’m just going to say this, this 100% is something I deeply relate to. I’m probably going to vent a lot, but it’s important to understand where I’m coming from. During my childhood, I kept finding myself in these special Ed programs that I hated being in, they never truly felt like they were safe, but I had no choice but to put up with them since as far as my parents knew from the people who misinformed them, kids are completely incapable of truly understanding what is best for them. There were several times where I knew something was wrong with the way my life was, but I couldn’t put my finger on it since I was so young and constantly surrounded by people gaslighting me because I was that young. My autism diagnosis was something I deeply resented because it put me into these programs where I was objectified and told how the way I am and behave is wrong and should behave how THEY instruct me to. A lot of pressure was often put on me to behave with this standard of “perfection”, often leading me to be punished for not perfectly following that standard. I had no choice but to bottle up those imperfections because of the teachers of Special Ed that would constantly watch me like a hawk and sometimes even follow me around when I’m just trying to get on with my school day and get to my latest class in time. It didn’t help that I also kept getting prescriptions for medication that did more harm than good for me. One of the pills caused me to rapidly gain around 20 pounds in the span of a few weeks as a 9 year old, (making Sam pretty damn relatable in his own right too.) and another prescription REALLY messed with my brain. (If you want an example to how I acted on that awful drug, just think about how Lemongrab from Adventure Time was like) All this along with a few other reasons I might bring up someday ended up getting me to first develop suicidal thoughts at age 10. And as soon as that happened, I was taken to a children’s psych ward in a hospital where for some fucking reason, some “responsible adults” thought it would be a good idea to put the kid that thinks they’re a freak of nature that never should have existed in the first place in to a children’s psych ward made up mostly of kids that were surrendered from their parents for then being drug addicts and committing crimes they’re now in prison for. My much pickier childhood self when it came to the foods I ate (which is something a lot of autistic people are known for diagnosis wise) and the people running the ward didn’t give a damn and I spent my time malnourished lying in bed waiting for myself to starve to death and finally end everything I was going through up to that point. It took my mother INSISTING constantly that she bring food that I like so I could finally be more well nourished. But I can assure you it was hell, a hell I was stuck in for 11 days.
A bunch of other messed up stuff happened too, but I think this information has the gist of why I’m like this. It really wasn’t easy for me to type out, let alone have the nerve to publish on a public site. Honestly, I’d say Sam and Max: The Devil’s Playhouse resonated with me in a similar way Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 did. (If any of you have also seen that movie, you’d know EXACTLY what I mean. What I brought up also made Rocket Raccoon’s story resonate with me as much as it did.)
I’d like to thank the people of Skunkape for remastering this game so more people like me can have access and experience this masterpiece of a game. It was just what I needed now, and I couldn’t be more grateful of it happening!
Keep watching the skies 🌌
