The Sketchbook was a collection of conceptual art and sketches by The Brothers Chaps. Sketchbook entries often featured ideas used in or considered for toons that had been recently released. The latest sketch can be viewed by clicking on the s button at the top of a main page.

The sketchbook feature was generally updated on Thursdays from 2004 through late 2009. This hiatus was briefly broken in 2014, but no new art has been shared since October 30 of that year.
