One of the many gems of the big LucasArts PC adventure game boom was 1993's Sam & Max Hit the Road, a hilarious adventure about a couple of private-eye types who travel the country to solve a mystery, hitting up carnival freak shows and other roadside curiosities on their quest for truth. Sam (a dog) and Max (a hyperkinetic rabbity thing) got their start in comic book form, and that dark humor carried over nicely into video game form. The adventure game was quite well received, and the characters went on to star in a cartoon years later. But the sequel to the game never materialized. LucasArts announced a planned return back in 2002, but in 2004, that game was canceled.
