Editing Acknowledged Update Delays

[[Image:Lellow.png|thumb|LELLOWTAPE: Do not cross.]]
Sometimes, [[The Brothers Chaps]] acknowledge the fact that an update, especially a [[Strong Bad Email]], has been late or has been (or will be) delayed. This can occur in a separate [[Toons|toon]], in a [[Main Page message]], or in an email itself.

==Appearances==
*Email [[vacation]] &mdash; explained the delay of [[invisibility]].
*Email [[ghosts]] &mdash; [[Strong Bad]] remarks, "Boy, is it ever Monday," despite the fact that this email was released on a Thursday due to the release of [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].
*[[Decemberween Email Menu]] &mdash; All the email links are replaced with a message reading, "No emails on the holidays," explaining why no new emails were going to be made for a week.
*Email [[army]] &mdash; The [[Compy 386|Compy]] appears to be dusty with a little cobweb on the top left corner, and Strong Bad says, "It's been a while."
*Email [[geddup noise]] &mdash; The lights are off and [[Gavin]] is crawling on the screen of the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] at the beginning of the email.
**The [[Sbemail 136 Alternate Versions|alternate versions]] went further.
*[[Sick Day]] &mdash; The DVD commentary mentions that [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]] was released a week later than planned because Matt was sick.
*[[Sbemail 150?!?]] &mdash; explained the delay of [[alternate universe]].
*Email [[redesign]] &mdash; [[LELLOWTAPE]] covers the Lappy at the beginning of the email.
*[[Weclome Back]] &mdash; The toon explains that everyone was out.
*Main Page message on January 15, 2007 &mdash; "sbemails return next week!" (The previous email, [[what I want]], was released 5 weeks before the message, on December 11, 2006.)
*Main Page message on July 2, 2007 &mdash; "[[H*R.com updates 2007#Monday, July 2, 2007|takin' a baby break]]"
*Main Page message on August 7, 2007 &mdash; "sbemails return next week!" (The previous email, [[the paper]], was released 8 weeks before the message, on June 11, 2007.)
*Email [[yes, wrestling]] &mdash; In Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad Email Intros|introduction]], he mentions that he is checking his email on a Tuesday, which is the day the email was released.
*Email [[hremail3184]] &mdash; Strong Bad claims that he will come out of "e-tirement", and mentions that he "hasn't checked his email in so long...".  The last time he had checked his email was 280 days previous.
*FeedBurner message on December 1, 2009 &mdash; ''[[FeedBurner Page#Stuff - New Baby vs. Updates!|New Baby vs. Updates!]]''
*Main Page message on December 14, 2010 &mdash; new holiday toon! when rolled over read "[[for real]]!".  Also, the page title for the corresponding toon, [[A Decemberween Mackerel]], was "We Come Down Off Our High Horse!".  (The previous toon, [[Xeriouxly Forxe]], was released 8 months prior, on March 31, 2010.)
*[[Which Ween Costumes?]] &mdash; is essentially one big acknowledgment of the lack of any [[Halloween]] toons in 2010. The page title alone reads "[[Blatant Lies|I don't know what you're talking about!]]".
*[[April Fools' 2014]] &mdash; The entire cartoon is a joking reference to the lack of updates to the website and the length of time since the last update, with a specific 'teaser' regarding the lack of Strong Bad Email updates.
*[[Fish Eye Lens]] &mdash; Coach Z frets that it's been too long since the last [[Number One Jam]] in the opening.
*Email [[sbemail206]] &mdash; Strong Bad has trouble remembering that he used to check emails on a computer and the [[Compé]] got compressed under a pile of dust, turning it into the [[Lappier]].
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]] &mdash; [[Marzipan]]'s outgoing message includes "I'll be out and about for about seven years", which refers to the amount of time since her [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 16.2|previous answering machine]] was released.
*Email [[too cool]] &mdash; Strong Bad sings, "Let's not make a big deal out of this; it's just a little Strong Bad Email" in the [[Strong Bad Email Intros|email intro]].
