* HeAlsoDid: Yep, this is the same Steve Purcell who co-directed {{Brave}}.
* HeyItsThatVoice: More details below, but every entry that ever had voice acting will have at least a few recognizable voices.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Almost every incarnation went through this at least once.
* NamesTheSame: Though they're both short, cute white rabbits, confusing Max for [[MaxAndRuby the OTHER lagomorph Max]] could be [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids potentially disastrous.]]
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Around the early 90's or so, Steve Purcell received an offer from Marvel to produce Sam & Max comic strips for them. He declined, opting instead for LucasArts and Hit The Road. Who knows what might have happened if he had taken them up on their offer?

* ExecutiveMeddling: The changing of "The Geek" into a girl, from the fairly standard male nerd design he had in the Series Bible, because the executives wanted a major female cast member. In fact, the executives suggested turning Max into a girl. In regard to the firearms, however, it worked out better; in lieu of handguns, the two used bazookas, flamethrowers, and tanks at the drop of a hat. WordOfGod was that this was a change for the better.
* HeyItsThatVoice: Sam is [[WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBros King Koopa]], Max is [[Anime/SailorMoon Rubeus]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}} Delete,]] Lorne is [[Series/TheRedGreenShow Harold Green]], and the Geek is Anime/SailorMoon herself (well, the [[TheOtherDarrin first one, at least]]).
