Telltale Games's Online Comic

I've added a brief reference and link to Telltale Games's new online Sam & Max comic. It might be beneficial to make a Telltale Games heading for this page as they seem to be a serious player in the future of the Sam & Max franchise. fruitofwisdom 15:26, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

"&" or "and"

It seems the comics and the cartoon has "&". Move? // Gargaj 20:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup?

What exactly needs to be cleaned up? --SevereTireDamage 02:54, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

New Game

Deserves a mention if you ask me... - SkarmoryThePG 00:29, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Gallery?

I think the gallery of album covers is in violation of fair use. Only the cover at the top is needed to identify the subject. It should be removed and the images deleted, I think. Milto LOL pia 11:11, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Sam and Max's Car

Sam and Max's car looks more like a 1959 Dodge Coronet to me. Is everyone 100% sure it's a De Soto? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyclone of despair (talk • contribs) 01:51, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

In the game if you mouse over it, it's called a De Soto. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.66.47.150 (talk) 00:48, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

In the original comics, "DESOTO" is branded clearly on the grille of the car frequently. The comic book car is likely an amalgam of a bunch of different models, but it most closely resembles the Adventurer. mrcool1122 (talk) 21:43, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Andrew Chaikin

There are two notable people with this name. This article seems to link to the wrong one. http://www.imdb.com/find?q=Andrew+Chaikin&sourceid=mozilla-search Coolgamer (talk) 18:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Missing Characters.

Nothing on the Soda Poppers, Sybil Pandemic, Jimmty Two Teeth, etc? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.19.236.142 (talk) 09:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Law-Breaking.

How about a list of all the illegal things they do in the persuit of justice, taken from all of the games, comics, & cartoons combined? It's probably the core element of their humor. A few of them would be launching missiles at Antartica, reckless driving while shooting, breaking/entering/siezure without a warrent, frequent shoplifting, destroying Reality 2.0 with a virus they bought, animal abuse, harassment, trying to gun down Santa Clause, aiming guns at unarmed citizens, keeping a man locked in a closet for 6 months, attempting to decapitate a magician, repeat crank calling, locking 2 men in a freezer & offering them up as a human sacrifice to Sasquaches & latter selling them to the circus, abetting the Dokota War, launching a missile at a national monument, sabotaging a campaign, destroying & casino & looting whatever wasn't blown to bits, offering tainted food, trying to bribe a judge, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.19.236.142 (talk) 21:39, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

The page would take about 2 years and 7 months to load (on 100 mbit, that is). 78.69.84.78 (talk) 19:40, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

More on Characters

The descriptions here confuse the video game characters with the comic characters. It seems to me like the video game characters should be described at Sam_&_Max_(computer_game), while only the comic characters left here. 132.200.32.34 (talk) 15:38, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Popular Culture References?

I was playing Fable 2 the other day and there are multiple quests within the game that have to do with the shenanigans of "Max & Sam". The fact that the two names are there, and then switched makes this seem like an obvious implication to me, but do others agree? also, i know there are more popular culture references, i just cant remember any others right now, can we maybe get a few more and add a section? 143.195.170.90 (talk) 06:31, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Complete rewrite

I've rewritten the whole article so we've got some proper coverage of the series. I've implemented a new structure, and redone the prose to cover each aspect of the series in turn, including creation and reception, so there's now a comprehensive history of the series. There's still a few gaps in referencing (one paragraph of the comics section, and the characters section), but its mostly all done. There's certainly no need for that "additional citations" tag anymore, we now have 73 references instead of 17, 11 of which were the same place anyway. I've even got hold of a nice freely licensed image for use in the cultural impact section. Note that the Surfin' the Highway image has been replaced with the image of the series' first comic, as that's generally the more encyclopedically valuable one. However, if I can find the sources to construct such an article, I'll try to create an article for Sam & Max: Surfin' the Highway, so we can have a separate article dealing soley with the comics. Lastly, the article's coverage of characters has been limited in scope to only Sam & Max. Coverage of other characters should be in the articles on the media in which they appear—eg Bosco should be covered primarily in the Season One article and the Season Two article, while Flint Paper should be covered in the Season Two article, as that's the media where he appears most substantively. -- Sabre (talk) 15:26, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Pure, unleashed Id

The bit I added about Max being "pure unleashed id" was removed because it needed a reference. The reference I have is that it was written just like that in the inside cover fold-in of the "Sam and Max: Surfing the Highway" graphic novel. Is that reference enough?
