Acknowledged Update Delays

From Homestar Runner Wiki

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 toon, in a Main Page message, or in an email itself.

Appearances

• Email vacation — explained the delay of invisibility.
• Email ghosts — 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 — 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 — The 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 — The lights are off and Gavin is crawling on the screen of the Lappy at the beginning of the email.
• Sbemail 150?!? — explained the delay of alternate universe.
• Email redesign — LELLOWTAPE covers the Lappy at the beginning of the email.
• Weclome Back — The toon explains that everyone was out.
• Main Page message on January 15, 2007 — "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 — "takin' a baby break"
• Main Page message on August 7, 2007 — "sbemails return next week!" (The previous email, the paper, was released 6 weeks before the message, on June 11, 2007.)
• Email yes, wrestling — In Strong Bad's introduction, he mentions that he is checking his email on a Tuesday, which is the day the email was released.
• Email Hremail 3184 — Strong Bad claims that he will come out of "e-tirement", and mentions that "he hasn't checked his email in so long...". This is right, as the last time he had checked his email was on the 23rd of September, 2008, 279 days previous.
