Possible future site of a Sam & Max fan page? For now, here's some unorganized thoughts:

Sam & Max: Hit the Road has a great soundtrack but the 90s midi doesn't do it any favors.
Instructions for getting the best sounding music using soundfonts:
  For standalone midi download VirtualMidiSynth.

  The soundfonts that sound best with Hit the Road are called ChoriumRevA, and SGM.

- Something tells me Bill Farmer didn't get proper direction for his first line. Actually, since the floppy disk version of Hit the Road came out a few months before the CD talkie version, there's a few lines that feel like the writers were writing a different tone than what the VAs gave. Noticably during the golf dunking scene.
- I thought it was just some dirty joke, but turns out black light posters were a real thing. A 70s remnant of hippie psycadelic culture that went way by the 80s. Wonder what happened to them? Amazing how much I learn from Sam & Max.
- When the bullets fly out of Flint Paper's office, one of them has Max's name on it for a single frame.

Wonder how Purcell imagines them?

Apparently, Purcell had a pet rat, which is why he loves drawing them so much.
Also seems like he has traveled around the country quite a bit, road trips and weird American tourist traps are a theme in Sam & Max.
  Bumpusville - Graceland, TN
  Mystery Vortex - Oregon Vortex, OR
  Snuckey's - Stuckey's
  Dinosaur Tarpit and Bungee Jumping National Park - Dinosaur Park/Mount Rushmore, SD

If you want to plan your own weird roadtrip, here are some ideas:
  Britton Hill, FL.
  Spook Hill, FL
  Frog Suck, AR
  Memphis Pyramid, TN
  Great Sand Dunes National Park, CO
  Wall Drug, SD
  Carnivorous Pink Cloud, FL

1989 - A funny quote from Purcell in hindsight:
  "What I would like for you to do, though, is to write lots of letters to manufacturers demanding tons of Sam and Max licensed products. That's where the read dough is - I'm not kidding! I really want to see little plastic Sam and Max figures (like those damn raisin guys). I want to see some kind of tangible objects I can hold in my hands: T-shirts, bubble bath decanters, cheesy vinyl kits, Pez dispensers, and plush toys... especially plush toys (women love plush toys). I'd also love to see a rubber Max the Rabbit Halloween mask, but I guess you wouldn't be able to see out of its eye holes. Oh, well. But these characters are ripe for licensing - so what if they only appear in a biannual magazine?"

The Machinimas are all on YouTube, across different channels last I checked.

Reality 2.0 was developed at the height of NES nostalgia on the Internet and it shows.

The flash short has a strangely darker tone than what is usual for Sam & Max. It's like Flash is more than just an animation tool, instead it's a style too, and some essence of flashness managed to get into Sam & Max. I wonder what a whole series of this stuff would have looked like. Max's design would have been right at home next to something like Alien Hominid.
