Teen Girl Squad
From Homestar Runner Wiki
Teen Girl Squad is a purposely crudely drawn comic series centering around four stereotypical teenage girls' quest to become popular. Its origins began in the Strong Bad Email comic, when a girl named Brittany asked Strong Bad to make a comic strip about her four friends. Strong Bad's spur-of-the-moment comic soon became a series of its own. In each issue, the blandly named girls — Cheerleader, So and So, What's Her Face, and The Ugly One — perform typical teenage activities, such as going to the mall, attracting cute boys, or babysitting, but Strong Bad's overactive imagination often subjects the girls to strange and gruesome deaths. Being killed doesn't seem to be a problem for the girls, however, as they always return for the next issue, or sometimes simply later in the episode. The two most popular gags in the series are the girls' catchphrase, "SO GOOD!", and the onomatopoeia used when a character dies — -'d, for example: "Lathe'd!" used to describe What's Her Face's being killed by spinning near a blade.

Fun Facts
- Every episode has a different "description" of each girl on their title cards at the beginning. An extra set of these descriptions is also viewable in the preview of Teen Girl Squad on the TV Time Toons Menu, which can be seen by holding the cursor over the Teen Girl Squad button. The descriptions tend to refer to Cheerleader's spoiled nature, So and So's book-smarts, What's Her Face's awkwardness or unpopularity, and The Ugly One's weirdness or lack of hygiene.

- Each time the Teen Girl Squad menu page loads, the girls say something different. The message on Cheerleader's shirt also changes. The possibilities are below.
Quote | Cheerleader shirt |

- The Ahnberg Hand font used for Strong Bad's handwriting contains a few European-style slashes, including lowercase 'q' which The Brothers Chaps have been known to "Americanize". However, they have not altered the European seven in the current TGS main menu.
- So and So was originally referred to as Kristen in the first issue, with the name coming from the original suggestion. Shortly afterwards, though, she is called Kristina, making it clear that Strong Bad was already forgetting the names.
- Different toons' back buttons link to different places. TGS 1-3 link back to the Toons page. TGS 4-7 link back to the TGS Menu. TGS 8-10 link back to the Toons list. TGS 11-12 link back to the TGS menu. TGS 13 links back to the Toons page again.
