So look -- Telltale Games' Sam & Max Seasons are consistently pretty awesome. And the forthcoming WiiWare title, the hilariously-named Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People episodic series, definitely has our attention. But how about some original stuff? According to a conversation that Telltale CEO Dan Connors had with 1UP, it's definitely in the works.
"Right now, we're still building the Telltale brand, and not having enormous marketing budgets to work with for an original title, we work with these franchises that are known, and that helps us build an audience for Telltale," he says of working with existing franchises.
He off-handedly hints at an original game "where you investigate a missing person or whatever," and makes mention of a Flint Paper spin-off series, in reference to Sam & Max's private detective neighbor who investigates with his fists. Of course, this is all just talk, and there are no solid plans to announce at the moment. Connors suspects to announce an original product in 10 months at the "earliest," and 18 months at the "longest."
Let the waiting and speculation begin.

Regardless, as long as they keep making fun games - I'm all for it.
I just want them to finish Bone, even though nobody cares about that franchise any more.
That way, presumably more money goes back to Telltale and if you buy the season bundle you get the option to have the lot on a DVD for the cost of shipping with some extras thrown in.
Plus there's all the awesome Sam n Max merchandise like the comics & animated series for sale.
(No I don't work for Telltale, hehe) :P
Buying on Telltale's website is digital distribution. Go get it, you're missing out.
They also sell said catoon series on DVD for the same price.
Also does Steam allow you the option of getting the CD for the cost of shipping if you bought the full season over it?
Broaden your horizons to other means of digital distribution and you might not have to wait for things longer than you need to as in this case.
