Okay, there are many strange creatures in Free Country USA;
Homestar Runner - A white thing without arms.
The Cheat - A cheese... or an anvil.
Marzipan - Some kind of broom.
Pom Pom - A balloon.
Bubs - Blue face man with flipper arms.

Then there's Strong Bad, almost an out-of-proportion human, but with boxing gloves for hands and a wrestling mask for a head. However, Senor Cardgage seems to share these characteristics. Maybe Strong Bad and Cardgage are of the same species? Only, Cardgage is taller and thinner, wears glasses and has a combover. Maybe in Free Country USA, there are lots of Strong Bad-like guys!

I'd say if this was true, Homestar and Homsar would be the same species as well, only Homsar is shorter and... stranger. There also seems to be two Homestars (viewing the flash file for Senorial Day shows a second Homestar with a moustache on screen at the same time as the original), but maybe they are just two different people of the species that Homestar comes from?

As for Strong Bad's parents... maybe he is the one who is abducted, not Strong Sad, and maybe Senor Cardgage is the illusive 'Strong Dad'?!



Okay, I'm taking this way too seriously.

No, I think that sounds plausable. But I really think that the real Strong Dad is the one in the old fanstuff (Yep, it's gone now), because that is the only time we see him.

Click the 'museum' link on any of the main pages. You can browse some of the old stuff here and here.

That's a pretty good theory Plastique. It actually seems kinda plausible.

plausible...hm. makes sense to me but if homestar is a species and not just a really stupid anomaly, i think we are ALL in trouble.

Well, think of it this way. There are different looking humans, but not TOO different. That being said, what if in Free COuntry USA, you could look even MORE different than another of your species. Lookie here.
:sad: :coachz:
They look...relatively the same. But, seeing that
:sb: :sm: :sad:
are all brothers, the only two explinations are that either they are all one and the same species, or
:sad: :coachz:
are somehow related. And then,take
:hr: and :poop:
They look relatively the same, except the PS has more defined lips, hair, and strange eyes. Also note the difference of the heads. Which brings me to the conclusion that All the people in FCUSA have spawned from the same organisim. Which is actually weird, since there is only one female.

you may be forgetting the total lack of arms with homestar. it would be quite tough to say that a stickish roundy-head white thing is the same species as the beanheaded arm-havin' poopything.

also bubs, teh C, and pom-pom really dont fit the whole "all the same species" idea. i prefer the plausibility of the former one, where homestar is his own species because it scares me. a lot.

Well, I mean, there are similarities, but they're not all the exact same. And yes, I agree, The Cheat is not part of the species in my theory, but coach z could very well be a misgruntled conception of Strong Sad, or is it the other way around?

How can we be certain that the Poopsmith has arms? He doesn't appear to have shoulders beyond his gloves, so maybe the gloves are just, uh... over his... invisible... arms.

That's also true, it just seems like they are floating or something.

The idea of there being a whole entire species of Homestars or Strong Bads running around where we can't see them is... weird. Yet oddly cool, at the same time... it'd kind of explain why SB and SC, and Homestar and Homsar (and Homeschool, if he actually existed) look like each other, but not like anyone else, even though there's been nothing to suggest they're actually related. Of course, then you'd have to assume there's also a whole bunch of Bubs-things, and a bunch of Marzipan-things, and... *head a splode*

Well, If any of you remember, on the game Dancin Bubs, there were two homestar people in the backround, a boy homestar looking one, with a water drip on his shirt, and a girl homestar person, So maybe your right?

Cardgage is a weird anomaly in the H*R universe because he doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

According to "kind of cool", the good Senor's characteristics were being creepy, having a beer-belly and a combover. He lived down the street from the Strong Brothers, and the guy we saw in the cartoon was what Strong Bad would look like if he was Cardgage-ized. We weren't given any indication that he looked like SB in any way, shape, or form. In the toon itself we're seeing SB in that form, not Cardgage.

Then Cardgage appears suddenly and he is EXACTLY SB in that toon. How did he get to FC, USA just then? Why does he look identical to SB in the "kind of cool" email? Why doesn't anyone pick up on how alike the two are?

I wouldn't say they're related any more than Homestar and Homsar are. Just one of a long line of completely unanswerable mysteries that makes H*R so much fun. :mrgreen:

I happen to think that, thanks to "alternate universe," Senor Cardgage is none other than a Strong Bad doppleganger who arrived, via transdimensional portal, to the world of Free Country, USA. This happened sometime during or previous to the childhoods of the Brothers Strong. Strong Bad feels a natural bond to Senor Cardgage because, naturally, Senor Cardgage is Strong Bad.

Of course, I don't think this is what really happened, but ... well, everything that Strong Bad imagines becomes an alternate universe, so why not? ;)

And on TV. Don't forget that Sweet Cuppin' Cakes and Lil' Brudder somehow mysteriously ended up on TV.

Due to the stripes on his belly, I think Bubs might be part Pom in some sense. I also think Strong Sad might be an indication of what happens when one of Homestar's species crosses with one of Strong Bad's species, suggesting that their parents might be a Strong Bad thing and a Homestar thing.

Hmm... yes. And in the email, High School, we saw baby Strong Sad sat next to the Diapersmith, and there along came an adult (or however old he is) Homestar, telling them to 'skidaddle'! Could that be the true mother/father of the Brothers Strong?! DUM DUM DUUUUUM!

I'm thinking it was of a figment of Strong Bad's over active imagination.

How about tis just a cartoon, featuring characters with very bizzarre designs? I think classifying characters in "species" is a bit excessive.

Although, TBC have called their creations "weird animal characters" at several points...

Senor Cardgage is definitely not "Strong Dad". Strong Sad clearly remembers him living down the street from them, and it'd be, uh, pretty weird to be living down the street from your dad. You could say that maybe he got divorced or something, but do you really thing the Brothers Chaps would go THAT far to stretch an explanation? :P Besides, he would've referred to him as their dad rather than the creepy guy down the street who gave him nightmares, wouldn't he?

Anyway, my thought and the probably intended way of things was this: Strong Bad sees this guy down the street from him who he totally thinks is the coolest guy ever. Certainly he would model his appearance after this cool, cool guy?

But we like to look at the science part of things, and overthink everything! It's like Zelda! If you play too much Zelda, the games aren't 'just games', they simply must go in some sort of chronological order! I'm certain that I'm not the only one here who has typed out a 'Zelda Timeline Theory'.

People people, you are seriously over thinking this. In the email Record Book at the end it says "The Human Strong Bad".

Aw, come on, if you can't over-analyze a cartoon, then where's the fun in posting on a fan-forum for said cartoon? :P

On-topic, maybe Strong Sad's dad is really Mr. Bland. :o Or at least they might be related. They have the same head shape, after all...*twilight zone music*

Then again, considering you can apparently get a decent interdimensional portal for about $15, just saying "they all came from different universes" is probably the easiest way to explain anything now :P
