bustin98 Said: I'm old skool Sam -n- Max, I didn't even know they had video games of the characters, or a cartoon for that matter. It was comics for me all the way. Now they need a Milk and Cheese game and 'toon.

When Steve Purcell got involved with LucasArts, his Sam & Max were popular with them there. Not only did Sam & Max appear in issues of The Adventurer (the LucasArts magazine for a while), but several LucasArts games feature brief references or cameos of Sam & Max. They got their own point-and-click adventure game, Sam & Max: Hit The Road, and they had a cartoon, Sam & Max: Freelance Police, that only lasted like one or two seasons on FOX Kids in the US and YTV in Canada. It was toned down a bit from the kind of stuff they could've probably said in the comics, but still wittier than most cartoons.
There was to be a Sam & Max: Freelance Police game, a 3D graphic adventure. It was further along than another 3D graphic adventure game, the sequel to Full Throttle, but also had the plug pulled on it, shortly before it was to be released, last spring, I believe.
Telltale games, which I guess is supposed to be made up of LucasArts members canned after LucasArts became pretty much just about Star Wars games, is bringing Sam & Max back. Judging by the trailers shown at the GameTap booth this E3, I'm guessing GameTap is probably one way to continue to get further adventures of this now apparently episodic game.
I probably ought to get that collection of the original Sam & Max comics.
