STRONG BAD: Hey everybody, it's a musical Strong Bad Email this week! {presses enter} {singing} Doo doo doo Dear Strong Bad, oh I was wondering—{stops singing} I can't keep this up.
subject: portraitDear Strong Bad-
I was wondering if you ever wanted to have somebody
paint a portrait of your greatness.
guess what, it's-
Dylan Brangers (aka Coolio da Fabio)
Texas
STRONG BAD: {typing} Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.) I'm just gonna call you Dealin' Burgers, which I assume doubles as an accurate job description.
{clears screen}
STRONG BAD: Moving onwardly, I suppose my greatness is worthy of portraiture. Perhaps one done by a Deutsch Master.
{Cut to a portrait.}
STRONG BAD: The kind that are always getting stolen or vandalized by art bandits.
{The Cheat appears from the top and paints on the portrait with spraypaint.}
STRONG BAD: {not typing} Thanks little buddy; now it's worth something.
THE CHEAT: {makes noises like Strong Bad is welcome}
STRONG BAD: {resumes typing} Or what about one of those black and white ink portraits you see in all the rich-guy newspapers.
{Cut to a rich-guy newspaper}
STRONG BAD: Well apparently they're not rich enough to afford any color. Or even solid lines... Just a bunch of dots and dashes. I look like Morse Code. {imitates speaking as though in Morse Code} Dah dah dah dee dee dee... I-I a-am h-holding a-a r-re-eal-ly o-old c-cell ph-phone.
{The screen has cleared}
STRONG BAD: {typing} Oops. No. Hey, I got it! A painting of such greatness demands only the finest materials. And what could be finer than black velvet in a cheap imitation wood frame? It would be showcased—
{Cut to the velvet painting}
STRONG BAD: —in only the fanciest double-wide trailers. Oh, and look! I finally caught that skunk.
