Description A quick drawing I did on Sam and Max...

On this date, March 3, 2004, LucasArts cancelled "Sam and Max: Freelance Police"

This pic is how I imagined Sam and Max after the cancellation and before Telltale Games picked up the license...

If only there was some way to bring the show back. Sam & Max deserve a second chance.

Wish there was...


Some episodes may have been a bit too much for Fox Kids' censors back then...

No. There's always hope. And I wanna do something to bring back Telltale Games! It's been bankrupt for too long. It's gonna need a lot of money and support!

This is the greatest representation of their hiatus before Telltale ever. It's also the funniest XD Β I love your comics Β

I was keeping tabs on Sam and Max after the cancellation by LucasArts. Β Bad Brain Entertainment tried to buy the rights to the unfinished Sam and Max game, but the negotiations broke down. Β And when Telltale made its existence known, I perked up...

Maybe there's still some hope left Β :3 Just maybe. . . one of these days, someone may release the beta, at the least.

Need to consider getting jobs as mercenaries if it happens again.

Max *in Peppy Hare's old Arwing*: Wheehee! Blowing stuff up in one of these things is so much fun!

Difficult when you're out of the job of being a freelance policeman.

Course Telltale took over did they, your thoughts on it?

I'm glad Telltale picked it up. I was eager to play a new Sam and Max game...

I like how nonchalant Sam and Max are despite being fired from LucasArts.

Wait, why are they at the unemployment building? They still have jobs as the Freelance Police. The Commissioner calls them up and have them do the crime fighting!

They probably lost all contact with the commissioner...

That must have been the amount of time it took for the LucasArts license to expire before Telltale picked it up...

indeed this does suck for them but few years later, telltale reborn them to today's best games in the telltale libary: Season 1, Through time and space and the devil's playhouse. played season 1, hoping to play the second game.
