Description[]
Sam & Max Save the World[]
Harry Moleman initially appears on a wanted poster in Culture Shock that reads "Harry Moleman, The Life Story."
Some weeks prior to The Mole, the Mob, and the Meatball, the police sent Harry to infiltrate the Toy Mafia. However, he switches sides and becomes the mob's new leader, adopting the name of "Don Ted E. Bear" and using an exoskeleton to make himself appear larger. He reveals his true identity during Sam and Max's induction ceremony, causing Sam to utter the code phrase and forcing Harry to send his goons after them. When the two return, he tries to hypnotize them with his Hypnobear, though the duo are unaffected and merely play along. While Harry is distracted, Sam obtains a Hypnobear and uses it to make Harry think he's on fire, causing him to panic and making him get stuck in his machinery. This causes his factory to overload and explode, destroying the casino and seemingly killing Harry.
In Bright Side of the Moon, Harry is revealed to be alive and well, becoming a Prismatologist and getting hired as a docent at the Moon's Visitor's Center. He tries to keep Sam and Max from stealing the Spoon-Bending Talisman, though he fails when Max swallows it.
Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space[]
In Night of the Raving Dead, Harry decides to try his luck at being one of Sybil's potential suitors, though his anti-zombie views are making it difficult. When a zombified Sam and Max come bursting into the room during Sybil's competition, Harry's repeated urging that Sybil kick the two out results in him being forced to leave.
In What's New, Beelzebub?, Harry is revealed to have taken on a job as the new death, being responsible for ferrying all souls to the afterlife. He also collects the soul tokens from people who die so that they may ride on the Soul Train. Harry is also seen as an announcer during Sybil and Abraham Lincoln's wedding.
Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse[]
In The Penal Zone, Harry gets fired from his job as death, forcing him to seek "employment" as Momma Bosco's lab assistant (though she never actually hired him). Sam and Max convince him to leave by giving him one of General Skun-ka'pe's golden tickets in exchange for his lottery ticket. Harry is later seen imprisoned on Skun-ka'pe's ship, though he manages to escape and tries to warn others about the alien gorilla's plot.
In Beyond the Alley of the Dolls, Harry and Agent Superball attempt a seance in order to bring Momma Bosco in for questioning, though their efforts are futile. Sam and Max manage to complete the seance by having Max impersonate Harry's uncle Morty to make Harry think that Morty hid his stamp collection in the attic of the Statue of Liberty.
