He's revered by many, but even if you don't his name, you certainly know the work of cartoonist, animator, game designer and voice actor Steve Purcell. Steve not only created Sam & Max but has had an incredible career working with LucasArts, Telltale Games and later Pixar. But how much do you know of Steve himself? Well, you're about to learn a whole lot more! Another epic interview by Daniel Albu of Conversations with Curtis takes us behind the scenes to become better acquainted with the legendary artist with a first-hand account of events the rest of us could only watch and admire from afar.

Just how close were we to never getting Sam &Max Hit the Road? Did Arby’s steal Steve’s Monkey Island animation for a popular commercial? Looking back, how does Steve feel about his Sam & Max cartoon, and why did he decide to leave LucasArts? For insightful answers to these questions and so many more, settle in for a nearly four-hour chat about a wide variety of topics.
