Posted on: 19:55, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

  • The Hampster Dance wasn't a GIF, and IIRC it was more than one dancing creature
  • From the Wikipedia article cited above: Using four simple animated GIFs (emphasis added) of hamsters, repeated dozens of times each, and a background loop embedded in the HTML, then a fairly new browser feature, she named the site Hampton's Hampster House and had Hampton declare his intent to become a "web star".

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

  • Since Strong Bad is currently downloading a GIF file, he must still be connected to the network. While he may have downloaded the email previously, it doesn't explain how he is able to currently download.
