Telltale Games wants #2 to be Sam & Max

The guys at TellTale Games (http://www.telltalegames.com/home) were interviewed by the Marin Independent Journal (http://www.marinij.com/Stories/0,1413,234~26641~2457083,00.html#) about what's going on with them as a games company. There's a decent amount about Sam & Max 2 and their wishes for the franchise...
Although the company is in negotiations for the license of another game, the trio said it is no secret that they want to develop the sequel to "Sam and Max" or something like it. An online petition in support of the canceled game incited the company's launch, they said.
"When we saw the petition and how upset people were, we knew we had to start Telltale Games," Bruner said.
LucasArts has a license for the game from the comic book's creator, Steve Purcell. That license expires in May, at which point Connors said he hopes to strike a deal with Purcell.
Purcell could not be reached for comment, nor could LucasArts spokeswoman Anne Marie Stein.

Very good news. Some people might think that it sucks that their second game will be Sam and Max, but I personally think it's for the better.. Usually a company's first game is not the best they can do, so Sam and Max will be better(hopefully.)
:)
I found this out last night after I was playing Sam and Max: Hit the Road.:D
