Most 4-koma gag mangas try to fit in as many jokes , funny moments or punchlines as possible in a short moment ( in this case 4 panels). This does not work for many kind of other media such as stories that might have a plot because it can be very distracting for the audience to take it seriously. I can't see this working for movies (unless it's a slapstick or comedy) or any kind of written work, because this probably better suited for a visually stronger medium. A VN is still primarily a novel but with some visuals and sound.
As for Milky holmes, it had 2 VN's on the psp but it had a more serious story and it doesn't resemble the anime at all , aside from having the same main heroines and villains (and even then, they had a more serious personality in the VN)
