In a recent interview at Gamesutra, Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell (currently working for film animation studio Pixar) expressed that he would like to get back into games development: "Would I get back into games? Sure. The [Sam & Max] license is back in my hands now so we'll see what happens in the near future."
Whether this means we'll see a resurrection of the brilliant rabbit and dog duo after LucasArts canned the planned sequel remains to be seen, but there's no doubting the rights are in the hands of someone who loves the original, given Purcell birthed the comic book series which the game was based on.
Purcell has also worked as an artist on Zak McKracken, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, The Secret Of Monkey Island, The Secret Of Monkey Island 2, Loom and Pipedream.

I've been re-playing Sam and Max, Zak McKraken, DOTT and a few other old favourites on my Sony-Ericsson P910 and its version of ScummVM; they still drip with quality design, game mechanics and scripts even after all these years, and they work brilliantly with a touch-screen. How good would a Sam and Max sequel on the DS be?

Hurray! With a bell AND a whistle!
Although its no guarantee of anything soon, its promising news. I guess now it depends on whether any publishers out there think it is a valuable IP (not sure how much of the current mainstream remeber the original). |

I think he might have just said that to shut up the journalist who was annoying him at the time! Certainly sounds pretty non-committal to me, as much as I'd love to see another Sam and Max.
I've actually been trying to play The Dig for the first time ever today, and I have to say that some of the puzzles are waaaaaay too obscure. edit: by the way, they've got Scummvm running on a DS! http://nintendo-ds.dcemu.co.uk/scummvmds.shtml

Well, at least we have BONE heading our way. I didn't know of the comic books until I heard there was a point'n'click coming out based on the first book in the series. Made me buy the book, and now I definately look forward to the game. I think they're making the games available through download (for a certain amount of money of course) like Half-Life 2, and I think they're going to make the whole series (that will be 9 episodes).
Telltale Games, who's making the game, consists of former LucasArts titles. I wouldn't want LucasArts to work on any sequel of the classics either way, 'cause all their talent have left long ago - forming companies like Autumn Moon Entertainment (with Bill Tiller - graphics designer from Curse of Monkey Island among others. Their project "A Vampyre Story" looks fantastic and looks to be another classic in the veins of the old LucasArts titles) and Telltale. |

Go on, make a true 2D follow-up to Sam & Max and put it on the DS. I'll kiss you.

If he's working at Pixar - give us a Sam and Max film!
Game-wise, I'm hoping they'll star in a cartoony carting game. It's just what the world needs.
