| - | The '''Old-Timey''' era (also referred to as the '''1936''' era.) is the collective name for the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] [[Toons|toons]] said to have been made in the [[Wikipedia:1930s|1930s]]; they are in essence a pastiche/tribute to [[Wikipedia:The Golden Age of Hollywood animation|the cartoons of the time]]. The toons are in black and white and have intentionally sloppy edits, a grainy and scratched appearance, and a soundtrack filled with static and pops. The characters look and sound different from their modern-day counterparts, and often have different personae, much in the way that the characters in the earliest [[Wikipedia:Mickey_Mouse|Mickey Mouse]] and [[Wikipedia:Looney_Tunes|Looney Tunes]] cartoons are noticeably different than later incarnations.

| - | Most of the toons from this era, explicitly set in the [[Wikipedia:Great Depression|Great Depression]], center around The Homestar Runner, Old-Timey Marzipan and Fat Dudley's quest for food, and Old-Timey Strong Bad's attempts to foil them with the help of his sidekicks The Strong Man and The Sneak.

| - | This era spans from 1933 with ''Kick the Can'' to the 1937 release of ''That A Ghost''. The early "1933" toons did not have sound and were much more cartoony than the later Old-Timey cartoons, with heads coming off, body-parts changing and characters flying away, among other things. (See the [[Old-Timey Other Costumes|variants]] from ''Kick the Can''.) Toons released in later years featured sound and were more realistic.

| - | Each new toon appears to take place in a later year than previous toons. It is possible that the Old-Timey dates are following the current date, with a difference of 67 years. ''Kick the Can'', dated 1933, was released in 2000. Later cartoons released in 2003 are dated 1936, and ''That A Ghost'', released in 2004, is dated 1937. Should this be true, then the Old-Timey timeline would be:
