<blockquote>The dynamic between Strong Bad and Strong Sad is sorta like Mike and I growing up. Only I wasn't as depressed as Strong Sad and Mike wasn't as cool as Strong Bad. But the beatings are pretty accurate.<br>
&mdash; [[Matt Chapman]], [http://www.adventuregamers.com/article/id,957 Adventure Gamers interview]</blockquote>
