- This article is about the weekly Sketchbook featured on the Main Pages. For the sketchbook in the Museum, see Sketchbook (museum). For the strongbad_email.exe Disc Three bonus video, see Sketchbook (video).
The Sketchbook is 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.
These were once found by clicking on the S at the top of the Main Pages, and were 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. Since the post-Flash site update on the first day of 2021, the button no longer works.
