Article name

I think that we should move the article for the toon to DNA Evidence and just use the {{abouttoon}} and {{for}} disambiguation notices for the top of the page, rather than having a separate disambiguation page. My reasons: (1) the toon is more important than the running gag, now that all the appearances of the gag have been included into the toon, (2) it will make it easier to cite the toon in the future, which will be necessary for the article much more often than for the gag, (3) it will look better in {{toonnav}} at the top of Date Nite and the other one (currently The King of Town DVD), although we could just do a workaround by substituting the template or using a parserfunction in {{toonnav}}.

I agree. It should be moved to DNA EvidenceLoafing 23:22, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Agree. That seems to be a worthy proposal. --Chiron 23:37, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Detective

When Homestar was running around in his little detective outfit, isn't that a lack of visible ar- wait, it was already referenced. Oh well. "It's gonna cost you an arm and a leg!" --Chiron 23:37, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

His arm being visible inside that sleeve (so to speak) is going to answer a lot of questions about invisible arms vs telekinesis, eh?

Goofs

I actually saw this: When Marzipan first walks up to Bub's concession stand, She did not have her toga on. After I got off and got back on a short time later, She was wearing her toga when she walked up to Bub's's.

I noticed this too. I added it. If anyone disagrees, go ahead and remove it. ;) DNA Evidence 02:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Dangeresque, Also?

Strong Bad seems to be reprising his role of Dangeresque while he is being interviewed by Strong Sad - he's wearing the glasses, he's in the smoky office, he even says the catchphrase. Should this be mentioned in the Cast section? Not Horse Woman 00:03, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I even heard some of the Dangeresque music at one point! Neox

Homestar's teeth

On Strong Sad's chart, Homestar is shown smiling with teeth showing. Where should this fact go? -72.26.64.24 00:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I was bold and stuck it in Remarks. If that isn't appropriate, you can move it. -HotBees 00:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete

Could one of y'all sysops delete DNA Evidence because the actual toon is called The DNA Evidence and I was going to move DNA Evidence (running gag) back to DNA Evidence. Homestar-Winner (talk) 00:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Precedent is to name the articles by whatever the Toons Menu calls it, even if that's different to the title card in the toon. The menu calls this toon just "DNA Evidence", without the "The". Look at KOT's VOQPCS! and A Folky Tale... --phlip TC 00:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Edit Conflict'd

I thought it was just the transcript we couldn't touch. Retromaniac 01:00, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Dang!

The cleaner on Coach Z's Janitator cart was called "DANG!". This could possibly be in reference to a product called BAM in North America which has an onomatopoea for a brand name. Thoughts? PlasticDiverGuy 01:32, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Meh, seems TTATOT to me, cleaning products with catchy monosyllabic names are fairly common. Not Horse Woman 02:00, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
I think "DANG!" and "BAM" are pretty similar. Loafing 02:53, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
The last time I checked, "dang" wasn't an onomatopoeia... EYanyo 02:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Dang isn't onomatopoeia by itself, but the adding of the exclaimation mark, especially on a cleaning product, suggests it's a made-up one, like using "Zonk!" on the 60s Batman show. - PlasticDiverGuy 03:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Dangeresque 3

Since SB is dressed like Dangeresque, maybe the famed Dangeresque 3, if there is ever one, will be about the DNA evidence. just a guess, though. -Zerlock1124

I'm pretty sure that this toon marks the culmination of the DNA evidence gag. EYanyo 02:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Approved Comics

Both of the easter egg comics appear to bear the mark of the Comics Code Authority. While the mark is fairly close to the real thing, the text of the mark on comic books in real life reads, "Approved by the Comics Code Authority". The text in the comics in this toon do not match that text. - PlasticDiverGuy 02:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Old Maid Marzipan?

"Old Maid Marzipan" sounds more like a reference to "Maid Marian" than just simply "Old Maid." Do you think it's both maybe? --Abelhawk 02:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Possibly. I think it's just more of an old-timey reference to an unmarried woman, rather than a card game. Any thoughts?--NoMayonnaise 04:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
If Goody Marzipan didn't merit a mention (even being wrongfully gunned down in STUFF), I don't see why this should. --DorianGray 04:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
