@StrongBadActual
From Homestar Runner Wiki
| This article needs cleanup and revision for the reasons listed on the talk page. Please remove this notice once this has been done. |
- Not to be confused with Strong Bad's Instagram account of the same name.
@StrongBadActual is Strong Bad's Twitter account. It posts a variety of original text, images, and videos, some promoting recent Homestar Runner projects, others responding to fans. It was created on September 29, 2011, shortly after the now-closed account @ronginald, but laid dormant until it became active on September 26, 2014. The account came to public attention when The Brothers Chaps-collaborator Craig Zobel retweeted the account's first post, and has since surpassed 50,000 followers as of September 28, 2017.
In all Lappier emails, the CGI Paper reads ">tweet here to email strong bad @StrongBadActual", suggesting that the Twitter account has officially replaced his email address strongbad@homestarrunner.com as the primary contact method for Strong Bad Email. The first Lappier email, sbemail206, marks the first time the account has been mentioned on homestarrunner.com. The first time the account was officially linked to was in a main page message reading "strong bad's twitter".

Identity
The account seems to be owned by the Brothers Chaps. Evidence for this may be found within the account's contents.
- Craig Zobel, a close friend of The Brothers Chaps, retweeted the first post. At the time, the account had, at most, a few hundred followers.
- Later, the account was promoted by Alex Hirsch, who worked closely with Matt Chapman on Gravity Falls during most of the Homestar Runner hiatus.
- The account's icon is a shot of the original Puppet Stuff Strong Bad and a handcrafted The Cheat puppet. Only two of the former are known to exist (both owned by the Chapman family) and the latter is a one-of-a-kind handmade item.
- Handwriting and doodles consistent with Matt's appear in several pictures, as well as elaborate setups of Tandy and Compy electronics.
- The account became active in late September of 2014, the general time frame Matt said he hoped updates would resume on the Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show.
- During the same interview, he said, "And we'll see, it depends on how whole hog we go, if we give Strong Bad a Twitter account... as part of a relaunch."
The account was proven to be officially run on October 3, 2014, when Fish Eye Lens was released on the main website. The post from September 27, almost a week before, featured an ASCII version of one of the scenes from the toon, calling it a scene from his "new jam" (the toon referred to a "number one jam"), and the profile pic was taken with a fisheye lens.
