Transcript
{A close-up of a bulletin board appears and remains for the entirety of the cartoon. A Limozeen poster, an advertisement for battle axe lessons, and a couple business cards are pinned to the board behind a large notice for Strong Bad's missing Lappy 486 computer. The notice also requests inquiries from guitarists.}
{A touch-tone telephone is heard dialing. The telephone line rings and Strong Bad's answering machine picks up}
STRONG BAD: Whoops, the couch is on fire.
Easter Eggs
- When Strong Sad says "Regrettable History Museum", click on the picture of Lappy to see a postcard from the museum.
- At the end, click on the yellow paper showing the left half of Dolph Hauldhagen to hear his answering machine recording.
- DOLPH HAULDHAGEN: Thank you for calling Dolph Hauldhagen, the Instruc-TOR. How many times a day do you ask yourself, "Why do I suck?" I firmly believe that with my battle axe lessons, we can cut that down to two or three. Meet me Wednesday nights at 6 PM in Monty Gym. Oh, and leave your axe in your car until the Pilates class is over. Man, those chicks scare easy.
Fun Facts
Explanations
- This toon was released one week following the Strong Bad Email cliffhangers, where the Lappy was stolen.
Remarks
- This toon doesn't have any "Back" button at the end.
- Despite stating that his class is on Wednesday evenings at 6pm, Dolph's flyer in the toon still reads "Sat. 6am-9am".
- The King of Town doesn't have any visible fingers, making "Furious Fingers" an interesting choice for his musical pseudonym.
- At the end of "cliffhangers", The Paper read "Tune in next time for the cliff hanging conclusion!!" This toon, the next one added to the site, doesn't resolve anything.
- Strong Sad remarks that Strong Bad was supposed to pick him up three days ago, but he (Strong Sad) had "just got[ten] back" from his trip.
