Note that his affinity for Tuesday is a reference to Wimpy, the character in old Popeye cartoons who always wanted to borrow a little money for a hamburger. He would promise to repay the following Tuesday every time. --Southpaw018 17:51, 26 Oct 2004 (MST)

What affinity? He's only mentioned Tuesday once. --Upsilon

This is weird, but my opinion on Sickly Sam is that 1933 Strong Sad died and now he's came back. After all, Sickly Sam's just bones and a Potate sack. User:Stongbah

I replaced the old image with a better, cleared-away, decompiled-type image. Homfrog 00:43, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

According to Strong Sads blog, he likes tuesday at 3:02. Sickly Sam likes tusedays also. Coincidence? — _talk Bubsty _edits 01:32, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Sickly Sam doesn't like tuesdays. He just buries himself alive on them. Additionally, Strong Sad played some game with Homsar every tuesday but I don't remember what. -the guy who isn't logged in right now.

Potates

Um, I don't know what you all are smoking, but the sack Sickly Sam is wearing clearly says Potates and not Potate.

Well, you wouldn't call a sack with potatoes in it a potatoes sack, you would call it a potato sack, even if the sack reads Potatoes. The same thing goes for potates. Homestar-Winner (talk) 16:36, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Something to Add

I think we should add the fact that he doesn't seem to be related to Old-Timey Strong Bad and Strong Man in any way. They just consider him a "dead kid" that they want to sell for money. Sickly Sam may have even died before they were born and he doesn't have "Strong" in his name. — 24.216.222.15 (Talk | contribs) 21:30, 18 November 2015 (UTC) (left unsigned)

From the article: "While Strong Sad is Strong Bad's brother, Sickly Sam does not appear to have any relationship with Old-Timey Strong Bad. In That a Ghost, Old-Timey Strong Bad doesn't even seem to know who Sickly Sam is, misidentifying him as the ghost." — MichaelXX2 21:34, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

But what about Strong Man?
