Loyal visitors to the Homestar Runner website (homestarrunner.com) know to check out the section entitled "Strong Bad Emails." While the popular Flash-animation website is named after the character Homestar (a loveable marshmallow-like creature with an adorable lisp), Strong Bad is clearly its star. When not giving his nemesis Homestar grief, Strong Bad--a wrestler who wears no shirt, but always boxing gloves--sits in front of his ancient computer (which runs on a DOS platform), and answers a plethora of emails sent to him by actual fans. His humorous read-aloud responses are typically about 2 minutes in length, and while rarely useful, are consistently hilarious. Most of the segments just show the back of Strong Bad's head as he writes advice-filled replies, but sometimes Strong Bad is shown venturing away from his computer in order to go on adventures featuring other favorite characters like Marzipan, Coach Z, and Pom Pom. In addition to the actual emails, this release includes special live-action introductions that feature a 3D puppet version of Homestar. The brainchild of Atlanta-based webmasters Mike and Matt Chapman, Strong Bad is just one in a slew of amusing characters who inhabit their family-friendly, brightly colored world of Homestar Runner. STRONGBAD'S FIRST 100 EMAILS marks the first offline release of Homestar Runner material and should provide hours of entertainment for any of the half-million people who visit the site every day.
