Assisted by a [[The Cheat|strangely shaped animal-of-questionable-species]] and hindered by his high-pitched, fragile [[Gender Confusion|sister]], Strong Bad's main spot is answering reader's emails - which there are hundreds to happily plough through if you've not been here before. Most recently he was asked to perform a [[magic trick]] and shared his thoughts on "moneygicians" - people who blow their life savings on "gaze mazing" props - and their strange sub-category, "flowy sleeved moneygicians". Like South Park and Modern Toss, Strong Bad isn't exactly beautiful to look at but he's relentlessly funny.
