Sam & Max: Freelance Police/Trivia

The Franchise as a Whole

Name's the Same: Though they're both short, cute white rabbits, confusing Max for the OTHER lagomorph Max could be potentially disastrous.

The first issue was published by Fishwrap Comics, also responsible for Fish Police.

Executive Meddling: The changing of "The Geek" into a girl, from the fairly standard male nerd design he had in the Series Bible, because the executives wanted a major female cast member. In fact, the executives suggested turning Max into a girl. In regard to the firearms, however, it worked out better; in lieu of handguns, the two used bazookas, flamethrowers, and tanks at the drop of a hat. Word of God was that this was a change for the better.
Hey, It's That Voice!: Sam is Bowser, Max is Rubeus and Delete and Lorne is Harold Green.
- The Geek is Sailor Moon herself, don't forget that! Well, the first one, at least.

Hey, It's That Voice!: Sam in "Hit the Road" is Goofy and Pluto.
- The Narrator/Monsieur Papierwaite is also Tycho Brahe. He was also Max in episode 101, so in a way, Max is sitting across an incarnation of himself at the poker table, and of course results in Talking to Himself whenever Max and Tycho converse.
- Max in the German dub of "Hit the Road" is Bart Simpson.
What Could Have Been: The trailer and assorted leaked clips for the canceled sequel are floating around on YouTube. Prior to that, a different splinter studio of ex LucasArts people, Infinite Machine, were working on concepts for a game titled Sam And Max Plunge Through Space, but they went bankrupt before it went into production.
