Sam & Max Character Alignments
(Don't look if you haven't finished The Devil's Playhouse yet, there's spoilers here!)
I was thinking about character alignments the other day, and of course, my mind happened to wander to how the characters of Sam & Max would fit in. So I had the urge to make this!
These are just some definitive ones I could think of, with the character who first came to mind when thinking about the different alignments, or what that character's alignment would be... or that fit close enough.
I really wanted to put Papierwaite on here, but he actually goes through several alignments throughout Season 3! He starts out Neutral Evil in 302, then becomes Chaotic Neutral in 303. By 304 and 305, when he's not an antagonist anymore, he settles out to Lawful Neutral (mostly thanks to Norrington!).
Where do you think other characters would fit in as far as alignments on this scale?

Not sure I'd put Flint Paper in the Lawful Good category, but I'm at a loss for who else would belong there. Maybe Mr. Featherly?
I'm not sure I'm buying Charlie on chaotic neutral. Better to have someone not clearly on the villain side. I suggest the Mariachi's there ("Andaslongaswestillgettosing... No importe nada!").
Also, I'd consider Max to be Chaotic Neutral.
A character who's Chaotic Neutral can still be villainous! Usually characters under that alignment can go either way as hero or villain, depending on their personality. I figured with Charlie not really caring about anything except for being Junior's favorite, Chaotic Neutral fit him better than the Evil parts of the scale, even though he's a villain. That's just what I think though! Girl Stinky could also work as Chaotic Neutral.
Sal probably isn't Lawful Good either considering how he's worked with Girl Stinky. He might be True Neutral, actually.
I think the closest we have seen to Has Some Ethics is ironically Sybil.
Sam, Max and Flint Paper are firmly Chaotic Good.
He's the only one I can think of that'd be closest to Lawful Good though. I guess Flint really is more chaotic, even with him being less so in the games than the comics.
I think the fact Bosco seems to be almost entirely concerned for just himself (and protecting himself from his many conspiracies), doesn't much care that he overcharges Sam & Max for his ridiculous inventions that they actually need, and then once he has a ton of money goes off to party and count cards in Vegas pretty much makes him True Neutral. XD
What in the world is there about Max that you would consider lawful?
