In many instances of text on the official site, lowercase i's appear where they normally wouldn't. This originated with Strong Bad's handwriting; the font used (ahnberghand) has no capital i, so any time Strong Bad needs to write one, it ends up being lowercase. The most famous instance is in dragon, where he labels his drawing TROGDOR the BURNiNATOR. Over time, Strong Bad's handwriting was used more and more, and the lowercase i was seen more frequently. Then at some point it crossed over to other fonts. It soon became evident that The Brothers Chaps decided to make most uppercase i 's lowercase, no matter what font was being used, as an inside joke.
Appearances
- Email i love you — Strong Bad types "can i just call you fhqwgads?", probably mocking Fhqwgads' lowercase "i" in the email.
- Email i she be — Strong Bad again fails to capitalize an "i" in his second screen. This may again mirror the sender's no-caps style, but he did capitalize the parallel construction "I he be your boyfriend."
- Email the bird — The word WiTH inside the email itself.
- Email stunt double — Strong Sad (as Strong Bad) falls into a pool labeled "PiE FACTORY."
- Email monument — The PiE FACTORY pool has another role as part of the Strong Bad statue.
- Senorial Day — Bubs holds up a tire of LOW SAViNGS
- Shopping for Danger — The Cheat Commandos thwart Blue Laser's plots at PRiCE STYLE.
- Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True — Strong Bad crosses the "100 MILE SUPERTHON FiNiSH" line before Homestar.
- Labor Dabor — One of The Cheat's bowling animations is a pin being cut in half, the blood spurt spelling "SPLiT."
- Email portrait — Strong Mad's box of macaroni reads "TendaRONi."
