Character galleries
Hm, what should we do about character gallery sub-pages? I'd just as soon not have them, but I know that will make someone mad. Do we add a gallery section to the page? I sure wish we could do thumbnails. I need to talk with our host about installing ImageMagick. —

- Hmm. I was just thinking the same thing about how that screenshot would look better in a box up on the right. What would we have to do to get ImageMagick? For the galleries... I don't know. Really they were just made by one person who just did a Google image search for them. They are just hotlinked images ripping off someone else's bandwidth. I say we don't need them. -- Tom 11:37, 28 Jul 2004 (MST)
Character Bios in General
Yeah, these character bios need some series work. Do we really need to mention things that happened in one toon? (The underwear thing? Sibbie?) I think we should stick to the general stuff. -- Tom 11:37, 28 Jul 2004 (MST)
"TAG TEAM WRESTLING" NOT "TAG TEAM PRO WRESTLING" (DATA EAST 1986)
No, the first guy is right. In that game, from Data East, there are only two wrestling teams, one names the "Ricky Fighters" and one called "The Strongbads." The strongbads consisted of one red masked wrestler that created red impact signs (easily mistaken for gloves) when he hit somebody. The other wrestler was a fat bearded guy. Data East has a strong case for copyright infringement...
do some research
I agree
These need more stuff about their personality. for begginners
What could also be added to this is the origination of the characters. Like say, Strong Bad. He was in a 1986 NES video game entitled "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" and is somehow copyrighted to homestarrunner.com when it was clearly copyrighted in that game. The true ownership should be credited to the real character owners.
THAT'S NOT TRUE!
You can play "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" on www.everyvideogame.com . Not only is it a crappy video game, the wrestlers are NAMELESS, and none of them wear anything resembling Strongbad's mask!
Strong Bad... A HARRY POTTER WIZARD!?
I think Strong Bad might be a wizard. Here are some reasons A. His house's layout changes. B. He has a hobby of "Barbzerdry" C. He has telekinetic powers. D. He has acess to moving pictures. (Strong Bad E-mail "No Loafing")
Is he a wizard or not?
- The moving picture was simply a goof. --Gafaddict 15:02, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
- "telekinetic powers"? Where? --Tony Stony 21:28, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Dude, It's from Strong Bad Email super powers. Amy Whifflepoof
Boxing gloves?
Why is anybody mentioning how SB can type with boxing gloves on? I think it is well worth mentioning
How are we even sure that those even are boxing gloves? It said in one of the interviews that Strong Bad's face is a mask, and he doesn't hae anything underneath it. Maybe his boxing gloves ARE his hands. --Darklinkskywalker 20:47, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- His boxing gloves are, in fact, his hands: some kinda robot Homestar Coder

Age
I've found enough evidence to form an estimate of Strong Bad's age.
- In the SB E-mail "Two Years", Strong Bad shows us a photo of himself in 1987 which shows that he was still an adult at that time.
- In The SB E-mail "Stand-Up", we see Strong Bad as a child. Coach Z's afro indicates that the time period was the 70's.
With this evidence, I have estimated Strong Bad's age at 30-35 years old.
- I have found some evidence that contadicts your claim:
- Strong Bad is a cartoon character.
- It's dot com 21:41, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)
An interesting idea, but the idea of Stand up has been debated in STUFF, and we thought that Coach Z had no fashion sense, and that his afro was out of style. And Strong Bad isn't exactly human, so we really can't think of his age. User:Rogue Leader.sig
Actually, in a pure sense of considering everything, what about Strong Bad's appearance in The Castlefunnies, which got cancelled prior to 1948! That puts his age at 57, at least. Anyway, he's whatever age he needs to be for a particular cartoon. --

Elvis Costello
A few days ago I was watching tv and came across a song that featured a man in boxing gloves typing on a typewriter this left me wondering if that song (I don' know the name of the song I just know it's from Elvis Costello) was the inspiration for strong bad.--Sultn 08:07, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- After a quick search, I found that the video for "Every Day I Write The Book" featured actors playing Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Charles is sitting at his typewriter plugging away on the book (while wearing boxing gloves). Meanwhile Princess Di is watching cheesy swashbuckling romantic black and white movies, intermittently looking over at Charles and sighing. Via [1]. -- Tom 15:13, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)
So are you saying that, it wasn't the inspiration, or it was?
Triangle or Diamond?
Okay, is the thing on SB's face a triangle or diamond? Because It's shaped like a triangle, but in SB' biography, BazookaJoe keeps changing it to diamond. Am I missing something? Homestramy20 22:45, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- 1. Never on the site is it referred to as a triangle.
- 2. Don't get confused between a diamond and something diamond-shaped. Not all diamonds are diamond-shaped (or more accurately, a rhombus).
- —BazookaJoe 22:49, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Oh-kay... Good advice. But where is it referred on the site that it's a diamond? Homestramy20 02:31, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- super powers. —FireBird|Talk 02:33, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- HRWiki Search for "diamond"; HRWiki Search for "triangle" —BazookaJoe 02:36, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)
