{We open to the Compy 386, and Strong Bad greets us with either:}
- Strong Bad: All right, all right, I'll load this up for you. But hurry up, I'm working on a Trogdor text adventure.
- Strong Bad: All right, all right, I'll load this up for you. But hurry up, I want to play my new copy of "Duck Guardian 2." {holds up box for "Duck Guardian 2"}
- Strong Bad: All right, all right, I'll load this up for you. But hurry up, I gotta balance my checkbook. The Cheat made some unexpected expenditures.

Frequently Asked Questions (now quit buggin me!)
Q: Are the emails Strong Bad answers real?
A: Yup, all of them come from real people. He gets thousands of emails a day so that's why he hasn't picked yours. Keep trying, though.
Q: Where are Jumping Jacks and the wrestling one?
A: They had to be removed from the site temporarily. They'll be back up some day.
Q: Where are the old cartoons and emails?
A: Check the museum section of the site, just click the H*R logo on any of the main pages. Every Strong Bad Email we've ever done is on the site. The clips from the 'Personal Favorites' emails were just made up. Twas a joke. Oh, and that 'Old Emails' button on some older emails button is an outdated button.
Q: Who does the voices on y'alls site?
A: Matt does all the voices except Marzipan, that's Missy. Mike does the voices when The Cheat makes cartoons.
Q: What software do you use to make your toons?
A: You kinda answered that one yourself. We use Macromedia Flash to make our Flash cartoons. You can download a free trial at Macromedia.com. For Flash help, try out Flashkit.com or buy one of the Visual Quickstart Guide books on Flash. As for sound, we run a microphone through a USB preamp and record in an old version of Cool Edit Pro.
Q: When does the DVD come out?
A: Sometime in 2004. We keep putting more and more stuff on it so you'll like it more. But hopefully it'll be the first half of 2004

- Q: Are the emails Strong Bad answers real? (Strong Bad: Ugh, I can't believe you asked that. You, my friend, are a part of the problem.)
- Q: What software do you use to make your Flash cartoons? How do you record your sound? (Strong Bad: Whoa, you can hardly see me through all of this text. {lowers voice} I'm back here. Aah, the text is attacking my head.)
- Q: Where does 'Fhqwhgads' come from? (Strong Bad: You didn't know that? What, have you been living under a rock... that doesn't have Internet access?)
- Q: I can never see the latest updates! My computer says 'the show' is the newest email! (Strong Bad: Geez... How much longer are you gonna be? How many questions did you have?)
- Q: That drawing of Homestar in the fan section is NOT Michael Jackson like you said. Did you know that? Same with that one you said is Ken from Street Fighter. You guys are wrong!!! (Strong Bad: Oh, I swear, If I got another email asking about this... {makes angry/frustrated noises})
