Me too. I would even *write* it if I hadn't too many projects on
the back burner as it is.

Cool idea. Sounds very IC for the series.

: Ah, but hang on, I thought Sam & Max were created by Steve Purcell?
Who do you think wrote the book? Purcell did a series of Sam&Max
comics long before he worked for Lucasarts. The figures had
already made cameos in several Lucasarts games before they got a
game of their own. Very recently a collection of al the old comix
and the one-page color versions was published under the title _Sam
& Max Hit the Road_ bz Marlowe and Company IIRC.
Those comics are *very* funny and wonderfully illustrated. Only
very few relations to the game, BTW - they just share a title, the
main characters and the screwball humor. The plots are completely
different.
