Remarks

• In an unusual twist, Sam and Max don't use the DeSoto to get to the store but have to make do with a Ferrari F40 instead. They're not impressed.
• The Slotmart clerk looks much like Lorne.
• This story was the inspiration for many elements of The Devil's Playhouse, such as Max's latent psychic ability.
