	According to Marzipan in [[marzipan#Commentary Transcript\|the commentary for]] the email [[marzipan]], Carol is not her real guitar; her real guitar is named Joan. However, in these commentaries, Marzipan takes the rare position that the Homestar Runner characters are actors, and that the events we see in their cartoons are performed for us, and not, as everything else would imply, their actual "lives". It is debatable how literally the "Joan" comment can be taken.

This changed in 2020 with a redesign of [[Marzi-Mei]]. The [[20X6]] incarnation of Carol has a flower-shaped body, with a long neck like that of a {{wp\|shamisen}}. Like the original guitar, 20X6 Carol incorporates a snake in its design. The black snake spirals up along the instrument's neck, resting its head on top, forming a saber-like handguard; its appearance is similar to the keyblades of the ''{{wp\|Kingdom Hearts}}'' series.

The sound Carol makes in [[Cool Things]] and [[One Two, One Two]] has a [[Wikipedia:Fuzztone\|Fuzztone]]-like [[Wikipedia:Distortion (music)\|distortion effect]] applied to it. This means Carol is either an [[wikipedia:Electric acoustic guitar\|acoustic-electric]] guitar, or there was a microphone used in these instances so that the effect could be applied. Carol also appears when [[Strong Bad]] auditions for [[replacement\|people to take over checking emails]] when he retires. Marzipan plays two [[scroll button songs]], both of which Strong Bad dislikes. However, he later uses one of them.	+	'''Carol''' is [[Marzipan]]'s guitar, on which she plays syrupy songs. In the [[Powered by The Cheat]] music videos "Oh Yeah Yeah" (from the email [[marzipan]]) and [[Seasonal Sweaters]] (from [[Decemberween in July]]), she is called "Carl". She is modeled after a nylon-string classical/[[Spanish]] guitar. Carol features a drawing of a snake and the word "carol", written in the font [[Fonts#MotterFemD\|MotterFemD]]. In [[monster truck]], [[Strong Mad]] was going to smash her over [[Homestar Runner]]'s head. Marzipan played Carol in the band [[Cool Tapes]] with [[The Cheat]] (drums) and Strong Mad (bass).

	According to Marzipan in [[marzipan#Commentary Transcript\|the commentary for]] the email [[marzipan]], Carol is not her real guitar; her real guitar is named Joan. However, in these commentaries, Marzipan takes the rare position that the Homestar Runner characters are actors, and that the events we see in their cartoons are performed for us, and not, as everything else would imply, their actual "lives". It is debatable how literally the "Joan" comment can be taken.
