Onları kendi çıplak ellerimle öldüreceğim! — Saxton Hale hippiler hakkında

”

Saxton Hale, Mann Co.'nun başkanı, CEO'su ve Valve'in çizgi roman serilerinin yıldızı Avustralyalı. Amerika'daki dördüncü en zengi kişidir. Eskiden Amerika'daki altıncı en zengin kişiydi, beşinciyi hızla artan zenginliği ile geçmiştir, dördüncüyü ise bir zıpkın düellosunda öldürmüştür. Hobileri dövüşmek, içmek ve yırtıcı hayvanlarla savaşmaktır. Normalde oyuncak ayı ile uyuyan çocukların aksine, Saxton Hale Brezilya Ormanları'nda evcilleştirdiği gerçek bir ayıyla uyur. En belirgin özellikleri bıyığı, sert kasları, timsah dişi şeritli şapkası ve Avustralya haritası şeklindeki göğüs kıllarıdır. Ayrıca "apaçık sebeplerden dolayı" kıyafet giymez.

Saxton, Zepheniah Mann Mann Co.'yu sadık yardımcısı Barnabas Hale'e miras bıraktığından beri Hale ailesinde Mann Co.'nun idaresini alabilecek en erkeksi kişidir. Sert yapısı bütün Mann Co. şubelerinde hissedilir, "Cumaları Goril Güreşleri" sloganı gibi - bunu personellerinin moralini artırmak için yapmıştır. Ayrıca kendi resmi Mann Co. kataloglarında ve promosyonel eşyalarda yer alır. Ayrıca müşterileriyle kişisel olarak ilgilenmesi ile bilinir (ve korkulur), politikasında olduğu gibi: "Eğer hizmetlerimizden %100 memnun değilseniz, bunu benimle konuşabilirsiniz!"

Mann Co. çizgi romanları

Sayı	Özet
Saxton Hale's Mail Storm	Saxton Hale's Mail Storm had its first and only issue published in March 1964 to help explain the new Federal recall of all 36 million Gold Coast-Tweed personal apple corers, due to their tendency to not only core apples, but fingers, lamps, and small furry animals. When the government demanded the comic be issued for free, Mann Co. responded by raising its usual price of twelve cents an issue to twenty, reasoning that if anyone was going to get something for free, they were going to pay for it.
1. Sayı
Saxton Hale's Mildly Thrilling Tales	As the youth movement of the 1960s escalated, manufacturers produced fewer and fewer products for the elderly. By 1963, only four items remained: hats, meat, caskets, and Saxton Hale's Mildly Thrilling Tales. Naked from the forehead down, lying in their coffins gumming Salisbury steak, an entire generation of despondent, forgotten consumers was left with just one thing on which to spend their government checks: Hale's tepid, senior-friendly tales of modest suspense. Saxton Hale Visits His Mother Monthly and Soothing Stories of Familiar Things soon followed. Hale quickly became the wealthiest man in the Western Hemisphere.
4. Sayı
Girl's Adventure Starring Saxton Hale	Boy's Adventure with Saxton Hale came under fire from the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency in 1968 for teaching boys aged 6-16, among other things: moral turpitude, arson, vandalism, hippie assault, tax fraud, at-home laryngectomies, car theft, gorilla slaughter, and the Heimlich Maneuver (which had just been invented and was still considered controversial). Pressured by the Senate, Mann Co. changed the name to Girl's Adventure With Saxton Hale, as it was commonly thought at the time that girls couldn't do anything, so any lessons taught to them would be harmless.
6. Sayı
Saxton Hale's Barbershop Action	Saxton Hale's Barbershop Action capitalized on the brief "haircut" fad of the early 60s. Its breakaway success would lead to the ancillary titles Saxton Hale's Barbershop Romance and Haircut Horrors Starring Saxton Hale's Ghost. By Issue #40, however, the Peacenik movement had gripped America in its filthy, tangled mane, and haircut fiction saw a steep decline. This would be the start of a lifelong feud between Hale and hippies, which would culminate in his firebombing Woodstock from a helicopter.
12. Sayı
Saxton Hale's Jungle Brawl	Saxton Hale's Jungle Brawl debuted in the U.S. in 1962, riding a wave of anti-gorilla sentiment following Russia's successful launch of the first monkey, Vladimir Bananas, into space. America's rage was not isolated to communist primates; that same year, monkeynaut Poopy Joe cruelly dashed the U.S.'s hopes of reaching the stars when its shuttle detonated on takeoff. Brawl was notorious for inflaming human-gorilla tensions during its ten-year run, most famously in issue #50, which was printed with gorillas' blood. Issue #50's print run of 17 million copies left only five gorillas on the planet.
44. Sayı
Saxton Hale's Thrilling Tales	Saxton Hale's Thrilling Tales first arrived on newsstands in 1961 as part of a bold Mann Co. initiative to sidestep an increase on postage costs for their weapons catalogs. The first 64-page issue contained four pages of thrilling tales and sixty pages of ads for exciting new Mann Co. products. But Thrilling's editors quickly discovered that showing Mann Co. founder Saxton Hale using a product in the story itself tripled its sales. Ads were cut to 32 pages to accommodate longer, product placement-based stories.

Apple

Saxton sees the unknown Apple store manager.

During the Mac Update, a non-canon comic was released that contained Saxton Hale. In this comic, Saxton Hale smashes through the Apple store's window, as he proclaims that he is going to burn the store to the ground. Saxton picks up a nearby device, presses a button, and then blows up the Moon with the Apple store's product ("iBlewupthemoon"). The product impresses Saxton so much that he decides to purchase the company. However, a figure in a black sweater (presumably Apple CEO Steve Jobs in his trademark turtleneck) appears and declines the offer. Saxton instantly recognizes the man and insults his curvy designs. The comic ends with the title of the next issue When Titans Clash.

Hale mail

The lucky few who sent in the Force-A-Nature order form received an invoice from Saxton Hale himself, sadly informing them that the requested item was out of stock. For compensation, the sender received a signed photo of Saxton Hale standing in front of Ayers Rock with the words "Thanks for writing, little fella!" and a keychain featuring a random Team Fortress 2 class. The letter also advised to keep an eye on their mailbox, as new products could be on the way.

Yet more lucky senders who mailed in the coupon received a letter bearing the Mann Co. logo and the snarling face of Saxton Hale. Inside was a letter informing the recipient that the requested product(s) were out of stock and that they should continue to check their mailbox as new items/legislation could be on the way, as well as several postcards bearing random cover images from the Mann Co. comics.

At this point, Valve asked players not to send any more money due to legal reasons. Valve donated the money they had received to Child's Play.
