Just started reading this strip and love it. I never thought noir and talking animals would mix well, but now I've happily been proven wrong. Since I'm a comics newbie, I'm interested to know if this has been attempted before in other comics, specifically in a noir setting.

Hi! Glad to have a new reader! There are a couple other noir stories in S&A's older adventures, which can also be found here on ComicMix. There was also a "Max Hamm" comics storybook a few years back, plus "Sam & Max: Freelance Police", which is always fun and sometimes noir. But I hope you'll keep reading S&A here. As previously announced, coming after "The Maltese Duck".... Pirates!

I've now read from the beginning. Excellent! Love the many old movie references and tongue twisters.

Since it can be tricky to find them, here's a link to all the earlier S&A stories here on ComicMix:

Great chapter -- as usual for S&A -- but what happened to page 38? It just comes up black with the "loading" cue, and never loads. Shame, because this is a fun series, and, from pp 37 and 39, I think I missed something to do with the duck's liver and his gang.

Seems to be working now. Hope you'll try again.
And thanks for reading S&A.

Really enjoying the series and the visual gags and puns...
Sorry to nit-pick...instead of 'on the lamb', shouldn't it be 'on the lam'?
