Sexuality in Sam and Max
(Boy, is this one gonna be controversial)
Please, don't be crass or Rude here, or start posting sam and Max Pr0n, I'd like serious discussion.
Anyway. I've finished Season 1, and there seems to be a LOT of sexual tension, Even more so than any of the comics, or Hit the road. Sam and Max's "Platonic" relationship, Bosco dressing up as his mother, Sybil's perfect match being the severed head of the Lincoln Monument... Hell, Sybil almost outs our fave dectective duo in Episode 4!
Anyone care to discuss?

But seriously, since bosco won't tell us, can TTG tell us why the hell he dressed up like his mother in Bright side of the moon?
I mean you know the two are gay for each other, which is a okay to me. This is comming from a straight guy, btw.
Bosco: I'M NOT THAT KIND OF WOMAN!
"Say, I have an idea. People like to laugh, right? Well, how about a comic about two 'freelance police' named Sam & Max? Sam could be a lovable dog whose personality harkens back to the time of Bogart, and Max could be a rabbit with a severe mental disorder!"
Steve rushed home that night, sketchbook in hand, and began drawing at a feverish pace. The rest was history.
Cut to 2007, at the Telltale Headquarters/Steakhouse. A bright young man named David Grossman sat at his desk, wondering how to capture the vision of Steve Purcell for the 6th time. He scanned the Telltale forums for inspiration, since a delightful ragamuffin named ShaggE often posted there, and everyone at Telltale was always talking about how they should hire him to write Season 2.
Unfortunately, ShaggE was away that week, so Dave had to come up with something funny on his own. He asked himself, "What would ShaggE do?".
He thought, and thought some more. "EUREKA!" Dave exclaimed. "I'll have Bosco crossdress! Nobody will expect it!"
And so, a joke was born. This concludes our story on why the dude looks like a lady. Visit your local library for more info.

Just adding fuel to the fire.
1: Sam and Max? Gay. Woohoo!
2: Bosco? Wierd. Like we didn't know already.
3: Grossman? Needs to go have a nice chat with Sybil. A Nice. Long. Chat. :P

Now. For a
But that's just Hugh Bliss. What do I know?
And by that, well, you know what I mean.
I would say we're venturing too deep into the rabbit hole here, but that's a double entendre beyond the boundaries of good taste :P
Sam's dream, the dating service results, the unicorn jokes, just to name a few. Granted, they more hint at psychosis than an alternate lifestyle, but it's all just speculation. I'll stop though if I'm offending anyone.
The fact all this speculation is in the air is kind of funny, but Sam and Max's sexualities are inconsequential - we should never know the answer, not even to a reasonable degree of certainty (unlike, for example, Smithers in the Simpsons, where the humour came from his obvious closetness... although I hear they've ruined yet another running joke there by outing him in a newish episode)!
For me, the dating service scene confirmed that at least Sam is interested in girls. Max... um... He's mostly in love with chaos. If a female were to be such an instrument of destruction ("hooks for hands! hooks for hands!"), well, then maybe.
Oh, about the unicorn thing - I don't think we can interpret it as Sam being clueless as to what he's really asking. After all, when he asks Pennyworth, and Pennyworth objects to being called Featherly, Sam says that's "not the part I expected you to object to."
By the way, I think that the idea that Max "doesn't like girls" is implying that he's immature, not gay.
There's girl rab-er, lagomorphs too!
Also, don't lock this. It is entertaining.
Just think about it, maybe it has nothing to do with Sam or Max at all :eek:
In episode 6 when they say max is a bad infleuence, sam replies "that he is momma bosco." He says nothing about it.
