For reference, unlike the character Señor, Senor Cardgage does not use the "ñ" in his name. Drhaggis 17:15, 15 Sep 2004 (MST)

It really doesn't matter if his appearance in flashback is debated. Seriously, it's not a necessary piece of information. --Ogog
Wow! Im sure u havent noticed yet,but if you look reaeaeally closely,this guy kinda looks like STRONGBAD!!! So that where the nightmares come from!-some retard.
I'm thinking that he is really "Strong Dad." - Dr Haggis - Talk 00:14, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Visual similarities to Creepy Comb-over Strong Bad
Senor Cardgage has many physical features that are similar to those of Strong Bad (ie. boxing gloves and mask, no shirt, black pants, etc.) TBC obviously patterned him after Strong Bad's general appearance when they created him; however, in the Homestar Runner universe, it is possible that Strong Bad actually patterned his own appearance after Senor Cardgage. It would make sense that Little Strong Bad, after living down the street from him for a while and coming to believe that he is one of the coolest guys ever, might decide to look, act, and maybe even sound as much as possible like the good Senor. It is never stated directly this is actually the case, but it is implied in the email kind of cool when Strong Bad describes his tall, dumpy alternate self (Creepy Comb-Over Story Strong Bad) as an exact duplicate of Senor Cardgage. — Ashen

- Your theory about Strong Bad adopting Cardgage's style is fun to hypothesize about. However, it represents one of our ongoing attempts to take "artifacts" of TBC's creative evolution and explain them into backstory or wrestle them into continuity. (See my lengthy rant on the subject.) The simple explanation for the visual similarities are that Creepy Comb-over SB started as SB's imagination, then Strong Sad said the hypothetical SB described was like S. Cardgage; then TBC liked the character they had created so much they made him a "real" character and gave him a short (even noting the contradictions and confusion they had just raised—"Wait, is Senor Cardgage real!?!"). By this time the hypothetically aged SB had gotten inextricably entangled with the memory of the (assumedly real) neigbor Señor Cardgage, who was immediately obscured by the problematically-real product of their union, Senor Cardgage. Thus we can have Strong Bad appear in the same shot with a character that is neither his imagined self nor the actual neighbor from the past, but... something else altogether. —AbdiViklas 02:44, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
