What's the source for the fun fact at the bottom? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]] 21:11, 2 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Just what the fact says - mouse over the H*R logo in the upper left corner of the main page to go to the museum and poke around in there. --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 16:00, 2 Nov 2004 (MST)

== And Strong Sad ==

Has anyone else noticed how much better the relationship between Marzipan and Strong Sad has got recently? While before she would often treat him with nothing more than polite contempt, it seems that now they actually generally enjoy each others company, on many occassions spending time exclusively together. Indeed, these days if Marzipan is shown in an exclusive social situation she is more often than not with Strong Sad.

Could it be that the two are, dare I say it, ''friends''?? [[User:194.80.32.12|194.80.32.12]] 19:04, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

== Hot Item ==

Is there a particular way to find out on what days Marzipan will say she and Homestar are a hot item and which days she won't? --{{User:The snitch 2/sig}} 05:53, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

:It's random, not day related. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:39, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

== Unnamed Girl ==

If [[Unnamed Girl]] is a main character on H*R, why aren't the girls in [[Teen Girl Squad]] also main characters? Should the reference to her in "...the only female main character on the site (excepting the ''Unnamed Girl'' and Marzipan's 20x6 and 1936 counterparts)" be taken out? --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 16:31, 16 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I beleive the reason for that is that the girls in Teen Girl Squad live in their own universe apart for the H*R world (except for the glitch in [[virus]]).  On the other hand the Unnamed Girl interacts with Homestar and Strong Bad in her appearances as if she was part of their world. 
:Moreover, I think it should be important to mention that the fact that Marzipan is the only girl, is likely a parody on the Smurfs.  --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:13, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

The Teen Girl Squad is made and crapfully animated and Voiced by SB.They couldn't have been main characters.That would have been really really dumb. having to mask his own voice every few seconds to voice one of them.(The Ugly One, Whats-her-face,Cheerleader,and So-and-so)--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 00:14, 13 February 2006 (UTC)Gir007-Zaak

== Marzipan's Hair Color ==

Answering machine 12.2 (newest one) has Marzipan leaving herself a prank call telling herself that her hair is not her natural color. I can't tell if this is 'true' or not... did anybody interpret that as being something that could be added to Marzipan's fact page? --[[User:Meepers|Meepers]] 01:16, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:I don't think so - she was just poorly imitating other people (most notably Strong Bad) who have a tendancy to leave her fake messages. --[[User:Jay|<span style = "color: #9090FF">''Jay''</span>]] [[User talk:Jay|<span style = "color: #006030"><small>(Talk)</small></span>]] 01:17, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

As my note says there is (or at least was) a secret page that showcased the 2001 Halloween costumes - only some of them (Marzipan as Velma, Coach Z as a Noid, and Pom Pom as The Skipper) were later changed.

== Legs? ==

Does she have legs or not? Its very hard to tell.. and she said she does 
and doesnt but which one??

:Marzipan does not have legs. She even told TBC in the commentary of [[date]]. She said she just pretends she has legs.
:[[User:Homestramy20|Homestramy20]] 1:39 7 july, 2005
She doesn't have legs. But in "Ballad of The Sneak" on Shorts she has Pigtails.It's funny..she gets chased by The Sneak. Check it out sometime.--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 00:05, 13 February 2006 (UTC)Gir007 A.K.A Zaak
Back again.She has legs in Character Develpoment in some area of Homestar Runner.com.They look more like feet.And she had arms.WAY too human-like for Marzi, dont you agree?--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 00:07, 13 February 2006 (UTC)Gir007(Zaak)

== Her Name ==

Where do you think TBC got the idea to name her [[Marzipan]]? It's a very unusual name, and I have never heard it ever before in my life. Was it just made up or did they name her after somebody?

:[[wikipedia:Marzipan|Marzipan]] -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:04, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)
* I saw some of those when I was in Mexico several weeks ago. I didn't know they were real either. I was with someone who wanted to buy them as candies saying they were "little marzipans." They really were in the general shape of her body, so I asked her if she watched H*R and she asked me what that was. It was equally shocking to me that there existed such a thing with the name "Marzipan." [[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]] 18:19, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)


its a german treat pronounced motsapon i know cause im german. heimstern look at my profile cause i cant access your my talk page--[[User:Valf|Valf]] 00:03, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

* Marzipan is kind of like iceing, it is made of almonds and you put it on cakes. I'm amazed you guys have never heard of it! Maybe it's a European thing.

== Smurfs ==

There is a minor mistake in the fun facts selection. It says that the only female smurf was Smurfette. Sassette was also a female smurf and was a pretty common character.

Since this comment from a month ago hasn't been addressed, I'll go ahead and make a tentative change noting that Smurfette was not the only female Smurf.  Smurfette and Sassette were created by magic (the former by Gargamel, the latter by the younger Smurfs), but my memory can't recall if Nanny Smurf has an origin story or if it was just left unexplained.  I'll also make it a bit more ambiguous as to whether Marzipan is the only female in the Homestar universe, while noting she's the only main character who is female.  Feel free to clean up or revert my edit, as I'm still a wiki neophyte. [[User:Wiggy|Wiggy]] 16:22, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
:Whatcha tickin' bot; you did a great job of it. '''But'''... Why is this fact there at all? Did TBC ever say anything in an interview or commentary or the like linking her to the Smurfs? (That seems to lurk at the back of my mind.) 'Cause otherwise this is an acute case of [[HRWiki:Glossary#T|TTATOT]]; it's as relevent as observing that [[Wikipedia:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles#"TMNT: The Next Mutation" Series|Venus de Milo]] was the only female Turtle. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:03, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

My neutral rational for keeping is available on my [[User_talk:Wiggy|talk page]] (shoulda read this reply first, but I'm at work and read things out of order ;).

:Because it was on the article? The question really should be why are the Smurfs on the Wiki in the first place.

== A Crush on Strong Bad? ==

I think that Marzipan has a seceret crush on Strong Bad.
I know in the email marzipan, she said she doesen't, but she's probobly too shy to tell Strong Bad she likes him.
What do you think?
[[User:Cheddarlebbon|Cheddarlebbon]]

:I think that this topic is better suited for the [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum] :) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Exellent point.She just seems NOT to like him and go out with Homestar Instead to hide it form him.Cause ya know.She's Marzi, and SB is..SB.--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 00:12, 13 February 2006 (UTC)TTYL,Gir007-Zaak
::No, no, and no. NO! {{unsigned|Super Martyo Brother|00:11, 9 August 2006}}

== Vegetarian or vegan? ==

Does anyone know whether Marzipan is only vegetarian, or is she a vegan? Vegan seems more in line with her animal rights activism, but I've only seen references to her being a vegetarian. I started wondering about this after watching [[Strong Bad is in Jail]] - I wondered if her baklava was vegan or not (since honey is not vegan, but not all baklava is made with honey). --[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 14:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Good question.and kinda good self-answer.but if she's a Vegitarian, why did she even ACCEPT the sammich Homestar brought her in "Where's the Cheat?"I'm pretty sure he put meat on that thing.--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 00:10, 13 February 2006 (UTC)Gir007-Zaak

Hey, Gir007, have you ever heard of a ''veggie'' burger? Besides, I'm sure that Marzipan wouldn't even have any meat in her kitchen, so Homestar wouldn't screw up like that.

:Thing is though, it did have mayonnaise on it, if I'm not mistaken. Whether it was made of marshmallows or eggs, it's not vegan.
::Marzy says she's vegan in the [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview]]. --[[User:65.190.149.45|65.190.149.45]] 20:21, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
:::No, she doesn't.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:38, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
::::Yes, she does:
<blockquote>'''WONKAVISION:''' What made you go vegan?<br>

'''MARZIPAN:''' People ‘go’ to the bathroom. You don’t ‘go’ vegan.</blockquote>
--[[User:71.77.25.75|71.77.25.75]] 19:09, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

:::::That proves nothing. She was commenting on the way the narrator asked the question, not affirming the statement. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 20:41, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

There is also the issue of marshmallows.  As a Vegetarian or Vegan Marzipan should avoid foods containing gelatin.  I think a note to this point should be put on the character page.

== Marzy's Debut ==
Hey, random question, but does anyone know chronologically the first voiced appearance of Marzipan?
:The first one would probably be [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 1.0]], which was in Autumn 2000. [[Homestarloween Party]] was shortly after that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Hmmm... Couldn't it have been vice-versa? Seems kind of strange that Marzipan may have debuted with an answering machine. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:59, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
:::I'm thinkin' vocally. Unless she ''did'' speak in [[She Loves Me!]]...? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::What about [[Spin 'n Say]]?  We don't have a date on that, but I wonder if that came before or after the first Answering Machine. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 05:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

This article sucks. So does the new, headless Strong Bad stub image. Take it down? {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:Well, thanks for the positive, encouraging feedback. Marzipan's character is a protesing liberal. She protests. She has on at least 2 occassions made signs for protests. It's a stretch to assume she never will again. This page documents her creation of said signs.

::::Hmm. I am astounded by the lack of tact demonstrated by the first and third posts in this thread. I for one think this is a nice little bit of information.

It's pretty ironic that I'm the one who's been here for half a year and I'm still a rabid cabal, a n00b and a borderline troll (my Lord, does that sound nerdy). I guess some things never change. Thinking of you as a "newbie" seems pretty ridiculous. Anyway, that's just the way I am, I never mean to offend anyone, I'm just a jerk. Uh, but since when is Marzipan a liberal? I'm totally anti-eating rabbits or anti-any unnecessary killing of animals, and I'm probably gonna be a vegan if I get rich (and start a band with Moby and my brothers called Humane Society), but I'm totally conservative. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
</blockquote>

A reply to this conversation: Marzipan's nature is pretty much that of a hippie, and hippies are liberal by definition.  And a reply to Darth Katana X: "newbie"-ness has nothing to do with how long you've been around - it has much more to do with your attitude and the way you treat other users.  If you act like a newbie and you are rude to people (especially when it's unnecessary and uncalled for), you'll get called a newbie/troll/whatever, and treated as such.  That's how it works pretty much everywhere. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:39, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

== A blinking goof? ==

I don't know how recent this is, but I've noticed a little issue with Marzipan's eyes when she blinks. I saw this in Weclome Back, and I think I've noticed it in less recent toons. Is this information worth being put somewhere on the wiki, or is it too unnoticeable to matter?

== Change everything to short hair? ==

Marzipan lost her hair in [[keep cool]], and we saw that she had a ponytail in [[retirement B]], so why don't we use that image?

Of those times, I could only get H*R to respond with the '''same''' answer twice. Both times, it was a double "Boo"! I couldn't get him to say a double "yay" though. I dunno. Maybe I zoned out or something. If no one else can get the same answer from him, you can fix that last sentence in the "Video Transcript" portion... I'll keep trying though (I could listen to H*'s "Boo" all day! although I'm sick of hearing about those darn chinchillas!: ) ) Sorry for this...  {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 21:32, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

What is Marzipan? I see her as some type of balloon thing with a face drawn on it. But my friends say she is a Baseball bat wearing a dress. And on a couple of occasions the site refers to Marzipan as a broom but she denies this. So what is Marzipan (I actually dont know what the rest of the characters are but lets just focus on Marzipan.)?
