• By placing the mouse over "Strong Bad Email" and holding it there for a short while, you will see Strong Bad sitting at the Tandy soundlessly checking his email, receiving the following message:

Dear Strong Bad,
I drank too much salty plum soda.

to which Strong Bad replies "No such thing, Stu. No such thing."

Fun Facts

Trivia

• The toons menu layout changed on June 22, 2004, and divided all the toons into eight categories. You can see the old version here. It displayed Strong Bad Email, Marzipan's Answering Machine, and Teen Girl Squad in a section called Features. Powered by The Cheat and Puppet Stuff were listed under Shorts.
• Pressing the Back button will always take you to Main Page 4.
• Homestar Runner's T.V. is called Tee Bee.

Goofs

• If viewing the .swf of the silent Strong Bad Email, then the buttons on the Tandy will change the contrast. If viewing it in the menu, then the buttons are clickable, but they do nothing.
  • That is because the preview has the Tandy 400 flash file in it, maybe.

Glitches

• Sometimes, on older computers, when clicking "toons, shorts or holiday" it does not open the TV guide, so you can still click on the cover to open it. All it shows is a blank page with the title "Dennis" on it.

Real-World References

• The Joy of Painting easter egg is a reference to the PBS program of the same name, starring painter Bob Ross.
