Maxwell: Hmmm… I did not consciously malign the name of Max. You’ll be happy to know that “Max” in the strip is short for Maximillian “the Painter.” So, uh… some consolation, yah?
And yes! Miracle Max… who famously said “Have fun storming the castle!”
I might add that Max from “Where the Wild Things Are” was always a favorite of mine.
I noticed Max had small ears before, but I didn’t think there was anything behind them(or between them), very funny :)!
I love ‘Where the Wild Things are’ too, it’s been the only movie that has ever made me cry(and I’ve watched some pretty depressing stuff), and the book was just as awesome :D!
Yah, yah! I always felt bad for Max, the Grinch’s slave dog. As a kid, I was rather disturbed by the unfair treatment of poor Max!
Meggie: I cried, too… watching “Where…Wild…Are” I didn’t think that I would like the movie, but I did.
Flo: glad you like the ear thing.
Max: are you feeling better about the “dis-th-pick-able (lisping) Max” thing yet?
Maxwell: I bring you a revolution! OK, not quite as much as that, but at least it’s a Max who’s a decent guy… (hopes Brig is looking the other way while he blows his own trumpet). Click the link represented by my name, and when you reach my web comic, check out the bio for Max Value on the “Characters” page… Key appearances are Dec 7 ’09 and Jan 4 ’10!
To this day I have never seen a fictional character named Max that wasn’t a complete jerk and is hated by all the characters around him.
Is this a huge coincidence or is there something I’m missing here?
“Princess Bride”

What about Max, the Grinch’s poor doggie?

I feel kinda dumb for not remembering a few of those, but thank you for calling them all to mind, I do feel better.
Don’t be silly, Maxwell… there is no dumb… I am glad that you feel better seeing that you are in good company.
