Variations

The Brothers Chaps sometimes recreate the entire cast of the website in an alternate style, often populating these variations with new characters who have no counterpart in the "normal" world. This section is for tracking and organizing all of the variations of the main characters.

There are also complicated narrative modes on the site. Strong Bad often answers "what if" questions in his emails, which leads to minor variations on normal characters. Anything created by The Cheat has a very rudimentary Flash style. Puppets are sometimes used in lieu of animation. Several toons, starting with the 100th Strong Bad Email, flashback, deliberately use an animation style which matches some of the earliest work of The Brothers Chaps.

Old-Timey

1930-era toons from the days of black and white silent movies and early talkies.
