Hello, I have taken up the glorious task of representing The Paper. You know, that personified sheet of paper that comes down at the end of nearly every Strong Bad Email. As for my duties, I am currently a forum administrator over at StrongFans Forum but I still try to be faithful here as well. I actively contributed on Ye Olde Wiki a few months after I discovered the world of Homestar Runner when the process was the newest Strong Bad Email, circa July 2003.

I enjoy contributing to the wiki in the following ways

• Audio-to-text transcription
• Article descriptions with content (Example)
• Uploading screenshots, replacing images of poor quality
• Optimizing Portable Network Graphics for the web (Example)
• Articles such as:
  • Strong Bad Email Statistics
  • Floppy Disk Container
  • Bottomless Pits
  • The VCR

To Do List

• Update all Strong Bad Email articles with interwiki links COMPLETED

• Transcribe DVD creators' commentary for strongbad_email.exe Disc Four

First Wave:

• Emails #102 , #103 , #107 , #108

Second Wave:

• Emails #114 , #121 , #124

Images with massive file sizes:

Future after Strong Bad Email #173?

Is obsolescence in the distant future?

In montage, we learn that Strong Bad will be replacing The Paper with an inkjet version come Strong Bad Email #173. Hopefully The Brothers Chaps will have forgotten about this by then. However, if they do remember, we can estimate how much longer The Paper has to live. Let's say there are three new Strong Bad Emails added each month. This will likely not be the case, since there are toons and other updates on many Mondays. Provided TBC do not discontinue updating, that works out to little over a year of emails with The Paper in them. However, some people will tell you that TBC were obviously joking when they wrote about The Paper in montage, as the caption uses words in the past tense, including "stuck" and "upgraded".

What The Paper means to others

• Interruptor Jones — "The Paper is deus ex machina, simple as that. Just a really boring version of deus ex machina."
• Ju Ju Master — "The Paper is a character in itself, who is stuck to the top of the screen at all times, waiting for its time to shine. That's the only explanation."
• Da Chort — "I think The Paper is some sort of printer stuck to the ceiling. What if The Paper is Strong Bad's magic minion? That's why he has control over it."

Where is the printer in the Computer Room?

• Phlip — "Obviously, the printer is just stuck on top of the camera with duct tape or something..."
• Ramrod — "The printer is just the printer. There's nothing you can really describe it by. It's its own little thing."
• Speckeldorf — "It probably hangs upside down somehow in the compy room."
