How cool would guest comic writers/artists be...
I was just thinking about Sam & Max and how weird some of their hijinks are and then it struck me how cool it would be to see guest comic stories by some of the greats.
The names that spring to mind for me are Warren Ellis, Mike Mignola, Garth Ennis, Brian K Vaughan, Joss Whedon and JMS.
Well, I can dream anyway.

A reasonable analogy is that you might be able to tell whether or not a piece of music was by Mozart or one of his contemporaries, but it doesn't mean you'd be able to write a similar piece.
As an aside, Sam seems to like icecream in the sketches, but no mention i can recall in the games...
Seems a bit odd considering how he put a beastility reference in one of the dialogue he posted on the CV blog:

Besides Sam N Max, The Tick is my other all time favorite comic.
And if you want to ge real crazy about guests, how about Reel Big Fish composing some music for one?:D
I don't think that's true. A talented writer with enough knowledge of and respect for Sam & Max to agree to work on such a project... would probably be capable of making a great Sam & Max story. As long as it's not "just for the money," I doubt it would come across as unnatural or jarring. If anything, one might notice that the jokes have taken a different tone, but the tone varies plenty within Sam & Max on a regular basis anyway.
I guess I'm just saying it would be silly for "Sam & Max-related experience" to be a requirement... because then the team would really have no way to grow, "guest-writers" or not.
Speaking of which (and perhaps this is where Quuux got the idea) GameTap's "Revisioned" series is like this. I only watched one episode, but it was clever. This season was all Tomb Raider, but it's not unthinkable that Sam & Max could show up in a future season.
