SO AND SO: Poor guy never made it out of training pants.
CHEERLEADER: Whatta you kiddos think of my... VERY OWN CHOCOLATE BAR!!
{Cheerleader whips out a chocolate bar that is covered in grains of something, has 2 hairs on it, a fly buzzing around it, and one ant.}
SO AND SO: Looks like you dropped it in the sand.
CHEERLEADER: No, I just dipped it in salt!
WHAT'S HER FACE: That's grosser than gross.
CHEERLEADER: Yeah? Well, my house has a hundred bafrooms!

The remaining three girls: NAPTIME!!
{Mrs. Commanderson appears in the sky behind them then swoops down to grab the girls.}
THE UGLY ONE: Thanks Mrs. Commander...son.
MRS. COMMANDERSON: EERRAAAK!!
{Cut to modern times. Girls are standing together. So And So is holding a book: 'Old Photos' and Cheerleader's dress says, "coolier than thou."}
ALL: Look at how much we've grown!
{Zoom out to reveal the girls falling through the air, with The Man with the Huge Mouth at the bottom of the screen, mouth wide open as if to catch the girls.}
NARRATOR STRONG BAD: IT'S OVER!!
Easter Eggs
- As usual, clicking on the O in "It's over!" shows an egg, this one of Mrs. Commanderson introducing Thomas to the class.
- {A young Thomas stands next to Mrs. Commanderson wearing a cap, with two books piled next to him.}
- MRS. COMMANDERSON: Class, please welcome our new student. He's from foreign lands.
- {Cut to What's Her Face.}
- WHAT'S HER FACE: {thought bubble} I think I have a chance with this guy.
- Clicking on the exclamation point in "It's over!" displays Mrs. Commanderson with two of The Cheat Commandos.
- {Mrs. Commanderson stands with Fightgar and Gunhaver, who is saluting her. The normal Cheat Commandos song plays, but with the lyrics: "Mrs. Commanderson, she's some kind of bird-reptile, and she teaches Pre-K!"}
- MRS. COMMANDERSON: EERRRAAK!!!
Fun Facts
- The paper this comic is drawn on has wider lines and a dotted middle line. It's typically used to assist elementary school children in learning how to draw their alphabet letters.
- When the comic returns to the grown up TGS, the lines change back to the standard college ruled paper Strong Bad usually draws on.
- So and So has a flower on her dress in the introductions.
- When Mrs. Commanderson is fully on screen, the foot/claw that has The Ugly One in it is white paper style.
- The title (Diaper School Grads!) may be a reference to i rule and Homestar Quiz.
- "I think I have a chance with this guy" is a reference to Teen Girl Squad Issue 2.
- "Bill Bellamy" is an actor and former MTV veejay.
- Tompkins's "swear" is the word heck which (along with shut up and stupid) many young kids believe are swears.
- During the segment with the "teeny tiny" TGS, the music is a tinkling bells version of the TGS theme. When the comic returns to the grown up TGS, the music is the usual keyboard version.
- The large man in the singlet may either be Strong Mad or a reference to pro wrestler King Kong Bundy, whose finishing move was a splash.
- The blocks on the ground showing the letters "S" and "D" may be a refrence to the "Super Deformed" style of animation often used in Anime and abreviated "SD". Super Deformed style exagerates a character's head over the rest of the body, much like the way the girls (and Tompkins) are portrayed in this issue.
- In keeping with the theme of "returning from the dead", Cheerleader dies in the "past" and is somehow alive again in the present with the other girls.
- This is the first time where a character has died and come back to life in the same issue.
- This is the only page on homestarrunner.com that allows you to access the flash's right-click menu that gives you the zoom in/out commands and the quality control.
