It also brings some news you may not have been aware of, like what's happening with Bone. And there's a Dear Max written by Steve Purcell. And a user-generated comic we liked. And that's about it.

Read it now! Dear Max: Letters from you, answers by Steve Purcell Pure capitalism doesn't work. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and don't get me (or any of your fans) started on copyright and old, practically unobtainable commercial products such as computer games. But I digress. However, pure communism doesn't work, either. It has been said that it can do anything except last in one country for more than a century. Is there a perfect balance between the two we should strive to obtain, or is there a 'tertium quid', a third choice, which is completely superior to the capitalism-communism spectrum? Dear Must-Be-A-Million-Laughs-At-A-Party, Sorry, I think I dozed off while reading your letter. If I actually knew what in the good God you were babbling about I could at least make a scintilla of an effort to appear to care, but all that said... thanks for writing, old friend! Love, MAX Do you have a question for Max (or Sam)? Send it to dearmax@telltalegames.com, and we'll make sure they get it. (Whether they'll answer it is another story...) » What are you waiting for? Go be funny!
