Sam And Max: Freelance Police
Well I suppose comics is a good as any place to put this, seeing as how that's where the series first appeared... Anyways, in 1987 author Steve Purcell and Fishwarp Comics launched a new comic about a six-foot dog in a suit and a hyper-kinetic rabbitty thingy. The series weird sense of humor soon gained it a small but dedicated following. It only made it several issues though.
But all was not lost! Purcell got a job at Lucas Arts several years later and wrote some short Sam And Max comics for the company newsletter. The idea emerged to make a Sam And Max game. And a few years Sam And Max Hit The Road was made.
There was plans for a 3D sequel but they were scrapped due to budget cuts. The series stayed quiet for a while but in the late 90's Fox Kids made a 24 episode long television series.
Several years later Telltale games (makers of the Walking Dead) bought the license and made Sam And Max Save the World and two other sequels were made.
In 2007 for the 20th anniversary Telltale made a collaboration of all written works as sold here: http://www.comixology.com/Sam-Max-Surfin-the-Highway/comics-series/9350
Well that was a massive history lesson. Anyways, has anyone ever had any experience with the series? Good stuff!
