DEAR HOMSAR,

== A few things ==
+
-
 
+
-
A few things. Firstly, the cast list gives Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad whereas the Easter Egg section gives Senor Cardgage. Which should it be?
+
-
 
+
-
*EDIT: Since it's been almost a week since I posted this and I haven't had any feedback, I changed CCOSB in the cast list to Senor Cardgage, just to get rid of the contradiction. If you think they should both be CCOSB, by all means change it.
+
-
 
+
-
Finally, I removed this fun fact:
+
-
 
+
-
*The Prince of Town easter egg, which shows him asking if anyone will claim the lifetime supply of fishsticks, is there to show why he's so fat. He ate the lifetime supply of fishsticks and became the King of Town we all know and hate.

In the DVD version, they talk about a game they made called "Cave Quest" for the Apple II. Is this game available for download anywhere? Did the Brothers Chaps say anything else about this title?

Can anyone confirm that he actually says e-mail 100 times? I got 96, but it's hard to count... I just pulled up calculator and hit enter every time, but you get into a groove and accidentally hit it twice or so when he says, "eeeeee-maaaail..." --[[User:favetvshows1x3|favetvshows1x3]] 17:22, 10 Oct 2004 (MST)

===Discount Flashback Warehouse (DECLINED)===
+
-
In the Discount Flashback Warehouse Easter egg, Strong Bad sounds a lot like Senor Cardgage. In fact, the whole Easter egg resembles the Senor Cardgage Mortgage toon.
+
-
*'''Declinating the countryside, declinating the peasants...''' Of COURSE Strong Bad and Senor Cardgage sound similar - they're alternate versions of the same character. As for similarities between the two, all I see is that they're both commercials. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 23:50, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)

*'''Comment from original poster''': After watching it a couple more times, I see that the second part is quite a stretch. As for the first part, I think I need to clarify: Strong Bad ''talks'' like Senor Cardgage, i.e. he uses a monotoneous voice. (Nice decline message tho'...) Therefore, the fun fact '''rephrased:''' In the Discount Flashback Warehouse Easter egg, Strong Bad's style of speaking is similar to that of Senor Cardgage.

*Okay, maybe it's just me, but does anybody else notice that Strong Bad's voice is kinda rasp and expressionless? That's what I'm basing the whole thing on.

-
*'''Decline''' Matt Chapman can only do so many different voices, and it makes it especially hard to try and do two alternates to the same character. Strong Bad also does somewhat of a Senor Cardgage voice at the end of [[theme park]]. -[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]]
+
-
*'''Comment'''  One might also add that both seem to have a common source.  That is, the cheap television ads that small businesses create.  If you somehow don't know what I'm talking about, just watch a local network for a little while, you'll see and hear plenty of dead air, gaudy graphics, poor diction, and bad acting.  Actually, I don't know how you can fully appreciate Homestar Runner without having watched even that small amount of TV.

:(B) Strong Bad, in this case, is bored and sad. Senor Cartgage is pretty much always bored and sad, and so, as a result of being simply a hypothetical version of Strong Bad, Senor Cardgage is going to sound like Strong Bad here.

== Remove useless comment on main page ==
+
-
 
+
-
One of the comments on the main flashback page says that Strong Bad says "My very own a The Cheat" but that the text is "My very own The Cheat."  This is useless, because this is just Strong Bad's weird accent.  He often calls The Cheat "uh-The Cheat".  For an example see [[for kids]], when he asks, "Can you say, uh-The Cheat?"
+
-
 
+
-
It's very useless indeed, but it's not uh-The Cheat, it's a The Cheat. As in 'a book' or 'a Tragic Clown Dog'. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 15:56, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== E-mails Strong Bad didn't answer ==
+
-

-
{| border=1 style="background:#ffdd99"
+
-
| When the Compy said Strong Bad had answered 100 e-mails, that's not entirely true. He answered two in 50 emails, two more in 2 emails, and you could say he answered more than one in huttah! (although he didn't answer any in anything or mile). Depending on your definition of "answering" an email, he read extras in spring cleaning (although they were promptly deleted). If you count by each toon being an e-mail, then he still answered in excess of 103 e-mails, since the three bonus e-mails on the DVD are presumably pre-100th. In addition, there is a "preview email" in the Toons Menu and never before seen emails in personal favorites. So really, at the time of the hundredth e-mail, Strong Bad actually has answered more than 100 e-mails. The hundredth email was actually answered somewhere between Emails 83-94.

Just thought it might be worth mentioning that SB technically didn't answer two e-mails: [[mile]] (where The Cheat took it over, and technically that wasn't a real e-mail either), and [[anything]] (where Homestar poured Mountain Dew on the Compy's keyboard).

I think that by "100th email", they mean "100th episode of the email show."  Because, not only has he answered more than 100 on the site, I find it hard to believe that he would have never answered any emails on his own before the email show started.  And bonus episodes don't count.  That's kinda what bonus means. --[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 07:28, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

== Comment concerning the declined fact Discount Flashback Warehouse==

-
 
+
-
*'''just sayin'''': Dang, you people are vicious with your declines.  Well, it may not matter anymore, but I agree with this guy.  Strong Bad was obviously not talking in his usual voice, and his voice did indeed sound very reminiscent of Senor Cardgage.  Strong Bad says often that he thinks Senor is so cool, so why wouldn't he imitate him?<br><br>And as far as them being different versions of the same character:  Like Stinkoman and Sterrance, Senor Cardgage is a character that was created as a variation on Strong Bad to satisfy someone's question, but, just to be funny, was made into his own character.  Creepy Comb-Over guy and Senor Cardgage have to be the same person, because he wears Strong Bad's mask (indicating that he's the variant of Strong Bad) but he's still referred to as Senor Cardgage in various toons.  Yet on more than on occasion, Strong Bad is seen talking to Senor Cardgage (indicating that the variant and the original are two separate entities).
