You know what would tide me over until season 4?
How about an HD remake of Hit the Road? May be tought since I believe Lucasarts owns the license to it, but come on, they could work together, if it worked for Monkey Island, it will work maybe even better for Sam and max Hit the Road! what do you guys say?

Although, doing it with David Nowlin and William Kasten would be a treat. I don't know if they'd want to do it, either. Dominic Armando I know was already a big fan of Monkey Island when he started as the voice of Guybrush, but I'm not sure if the new pair love their roles enough to re-record the voices for HTR, and if people would care for that anyway.
This is my desperate face.
Hmm... perhaps Steve Purcell, Telltale and Lucasarts could do a three-way deal whereby we get both "Sam & Max: Freelance Police" completed AND a second season of TOMI.
What? Lucasarts too busy contemplating own navels?
What? Telltale just too damn' busy?
Damn.
If you can find it, the original is still superb and much better graphics and audio quality than the original Monkey Island that was remade. I'm not sure Sam and Max Hit the Road needs to be remade. :-) Maybe remaster the audio though.

Telltale can already make Sam and Max games without having to share the profits with another company, and LucasArts profits enough by publishing an endless sea of mediocre Star Wars games.
and that's real strange to me o_o
More machinima, actually
Purcell does have rights to Sam and Max, but I believe Lucasarts has rights to Hit the Road.
Yes and no. Steve Purcell owns the rights to Sam and Max, but he's given Telltale the license to make Sam and Max games. Steve is free to license out Sam and Max to, say, other comic companies or animation studios, but if he allowed another game company to handle Sam and Max while Telltale still has the license it'd probably be seen as a breach of contract.
Telltale doesn't necessarily have the license permanently, of course. If Steve really wanted to (not that he does, but speaking hypothetically), there must be a way that he could deny Telltale further licensing rights. It definitely wouldn't be as simple as "I'm going to temporarily take the license away from Telltale, give it to LucasArts so they can remake Hit the Road, and then give it back to Telltale" though.
It'd be a copyright violation, yes. LucasArts owns Sam and Max Hit the Road, yet they don't own Sam and Max themselves. If this sounds like it doesn't make sense, that's only because it doesn't.
