This question bothers me since I was a kid.
In Sam and Max - Hit the Road, what is the green thing in the "use" icon?
Is it a duck? Is it a toy?
It's a cartoonish Stress Toy, sort of like this guy. You squeeze them and it looks like their eyes pop out. I know I've seen them styled just like that in other cartoons, so it might be a running gag I'm unaware of.

An ongoing in-joke in the SCUMM-based LucasArts adventure games was hiding Max (from the Sam and Max comic, then later Sam and Max Hit the Road) in the scenery. He was never (or almost never) something you could interact with, just a little easter egg.
Does anyone know where (if) he's hidden in Monkey Island 2, and whether or not his hidden visage is visible in the new Special Edition's graphics as well?
Costumes of Sam & Max can be found in the Costume Shop:
However, it seems that in the new version, they are replaced by a purple tentacle (from day of the tentacle), because LucasArts doesn't own the rights for Sam & Max anymore (forum source, for what it's worth). Apparently it was the same in the special edition of the first episode as well.

From all the hints (especially the one saying "I just don't know what Stinky sees in Sal..."), I've gathered that I need to get the giant Max to eat Sal to get further in the game. I've even managed to make him crave for cockroaches. But I haven't found anything to either make him crave for Sal specifically, or if a general cockroach is enough, to spot Sal. How do I proceed?
Spoiler answer:
The problem was that I had not gained control of the legs yet. After showing my little cockroach friend to Sibyl, this problem was solved. After that, a simple stroll around with the giant Max brought me right in front of Sal, who was eaten on the spot.
