Sam & Max isn't dead(?)
In a Story Mode AMA I asked Telltale if we can expect more Sam & Max and the future. The response was rather melancholy...

Telltale always answers with hopeful non-answers, usually involving the word "soon".
So we'll keep on waiting....
Kevin has stated before that as long as he's there Sam & Max will continue to pop up somewhere in Telltale's games periodically. They probably have a limit on their license on the duo before it expires due to non-use (I think it was 5 years in the case of LucasArts, Telltale's deal with Steve Purcell is probably similar), so they'll have to make a new game at some point or else they'll lose their license.
Sam & Max's 30th anniversary is coming in 2017. It's likely they'll try to get something out by then (or near then, as was the case with Poker Night 2, which celebrated Sam & Max's 25th anniversary but ended up being released the following year).
Thanks for the info! This definitely makes me feel much more hopeful,
They just want to keep all options open. Sam & Max is probably the only older Telltale franchise to which they still have the license.
