Sam & Max Freelance Police

Sam: he is a 6-foot tall anthropomorphic dog with the appearance and attire reminiscent of a traditional private detective from 1940s film noir. He typically wears a grayish-blue suit, a fedora, and a black and white striped tie. His demeanor is relatively calm and collected, especially in contrast to Max. Sam is the more pragmatic and thoughtful of the duo, often acting as the voice of reason. He speaks in a slow, deliberate manner, often delivering witty one-liners and dry observations with a deadpan delivery. Despite his laid-back nature, Sam is also prone to moments of excitement and is fully capable of engaging in the duo's more ridiculous antics. He enjoys the little things in life, like a good cup of joe and the thrill of solving a case.
Max: often referred to as a "hyperkinetic rabbity thing," Max is a short, white, lagomorph-like creature with a wide, manic smile and large, expressive eyes. His appearance is cartoonish, with a simple, rounded design. Max embodies chaos and unpredictability, with an energy level and impulsiveness that contrasts sharply with Sam's more measured approach. He has a penchant for violence and mayhem, often suggesting the most aggressive course of action. Despite this, Max isn't evil; he's just extremely lively and operates on cartoon logic, which makes him both endearing and alarming. His dialogue is typically filled with jokes, puns, and non-sequiturs, reflecting his zany personality.
