That's just because everyone likes Max better, and we all know it.
Except me. I think Sam is awesome.
Except me too (and other people, I know). Sam is awesome... and handsome to boot.
I love it when artists do holiday themed illustrations. They sometimes give a little insight to the characters' personalities or have them doing uncharacteristic things. This picture is, no doubt, cool and well done.

Top one's great, always love seeing S+M, but personally I like the one Zeek posted, it inspires a kind of warm and fuzzy fealing I rarely get from the dog and rabbity-thing.
I really love that second one. It doesn't hurt that A Christmas Carol is already one of my very favorite things. Oh, and the cognitive dissonance of seeing Sam & Max in something so ... sincerely good-natured. That's pretty neat, too.
A little bit off-topic, but has anyone seen THIS picture? http://spudvisionblog.blogspot.com/2008/12/marley.html
It freaked me out when I saw it. I'm probably going to have nightmares though. I'm just guessing here, but that's probably a reference to something else. Am I correct?

Yup, A Christmas Carol again. ^^ More specifically, it's when Marley's ghost (Max) visits Scrooge (Sam) on Christmas Eve.
sam being old and similar to death/ the grim reaper symbolises the death of 2008 along with the sash that reads 2008. max being a baby with a 2009 sash symbolises the birth of 2009.
it doesn't suck, it's clever in a way despite being done before.

I thought he was kind of depressing. Funny, but depressing, probably because Sam is my favourite character. Sam's lack of reaction to his future was funny too.
Apparently Sam is supposed to represent Death and he's disguised as a beggar. That coupled with the facts that he uses the word 'prosperous' and Max as a toddler tells me it's some sort of commentary on the whole economic situation. Kind of like saying the new generations are being doomed to not be as prosperous as past ones.
Of course, that could just be me reading way too much into it. As Patters has said, it is probably just about the transition from 2008 to 2009... but you never know.
Wishing someone a propserous New Year is one of the more uncommon ways of saying "Happy New Year" to someone in a greeting card sense. It never had anything to do with th economy. It's mostly to be interpreted as saying "Best of luck to you in the new year," if anything.

Poor Sam, he is always the symbol of past year in Steve`s new year drawings...

The post from Steve says this is out of their character, but it's a nice image, nonetheless.
...that's holly...
It's the Christmas goose!

I feel sorry for Sam's feet, though. >_>
Agreed on both counts!
On-topic: ... Okay, that's just frickin' adorable. Criminally so.

What happened to Sam? What's up with the blade?
He's old. He's a symbol for the year that has passed.
Well, that sucks.:mad:
what?
doesn't make sense. in any way.

It suck for Sam being old.
But Senile Sam in 204 is the best!
Wow! What a nice max. I really like this Ultra-cute BABY Max.
