Someone a while back in the thread said futurama. I would actually have a coronary if it was. But they seem to be sticking to comics. Garfield is overdone and they wouldnt be able to get liscensing for calvin and hobbes... dilbert would be too well known...
XKCD THE GAME!!! lol

I think they're aiming for an older demographic, so Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes would really be out. Dilbert isn't really interesting enough to justify a series of games (IMO) and Futurama is way too big of a license.
From the tone and bits and pieces being mentioned by TTG staff, I get the impression the PC license due to be announced soonish is going to be based on a TV show.
I think it might be something of a serious type game. We already have the Sam & Max guys working on Strong Bad which works nicely. I can't see them annoucing another humour based game without them. Maybe something more along the lines of CSI. It makes more sense to have a variety.
It being based off another TV show makes sense too, because (again) they already have the ties with CSI. Assuming the higher ups liked the work they did I can see them getting in contact with TTG again. But if it is based off a TV show, you think the info might have leaked by now since there are so many people involved?
Well, I don't know... there was already a TV series for Dilbert, and it was pretty un-funny. I'm afraid Dilbert works best in (short) strip-form and attempts to transplant the characters to longer stories are doomed to fail.

The team is actually split between ex-Sam & Max and CSI team members. The lead designer on Strong Bad is Mark Darin, who did design and scripting on CSI: Hard Evidence, and Mai Nguyen, art director on CSI 3 and 4, has been art directing on CG4AP (and built all the characters and many of the environments). The writers (except Mark) are all from Sam & Max past and present, though.

I liked the TV show. Meh, it's all opinions. No use getting worked up over it.

Brilliant news!
(Though the article didn't say "all new")
Pity I don't have a Wii, nor is Wiiware available in this country yet....
Edit: Even more awesome! PC version will be available. Man, Telltale seem determined for me to give them more money
XKCD THE GAME!!! lol

But who knows!
Could be way off base though, of course.
