Reading this with the character's voices in my head.

Miss it so much.

Cool stuff.

If this had a poll on it, I would give it a 4/5

It harkens back to the days of yore (Like, around "A Jumping Jack Contest") when the toons centered around the main characters duking it out in some manner of competition.

I enjoyed how Strong Bad claims to be doing it for the family. It reminded me of the sledding scene in Christmas Vacation. I also loved How in the main conflict (Pom Pom vs Homestar) neither of them won.

All in all, it was great :eekdance:

I would have loved to see what Senor Cardgage's entry would have been, though.

They should really finish and animate this toon....

At least we know they're still alive now though.

This would have been one weird cratoon. Probably would've liked it, I love how the blue bird is in it, I always wondered whether they would use it again after their comments in one of the commentaries. Yeah, I think I will enjoy it at least twice, Mike.

It's pretty funny. Love the whole cows exchange. And I was waiting for Heather to make an appearance haha.

Well, at least they're giving us something. Not too bad either.

That's great. I would have loved to see that animated.

that would've been a good one. I'd really like to know when it was written.

Just wondering. Did Mike Chapman really write this on wiki or somebody else?

@robingravel, the wiki admins received it via email, and copied it onto the wiki! Or at least that's what happened with the past draft.

Yesss those were the best parts! TOGETHER FOR HEATHER. she'd probably be in an easter egg as some... box.

So, no word on the future of H*R generally other than the Poker Night game is coming out soon?

Personally (and this is merely speculation), I think that TBC are getting ready to start 'er up again. Judging by the soon-to-be-finished game, the new script (to let us know they're still alive), and all of the recent store activity, I'd say that a toon isn't far off. It may take a week, a couple weeks, or maybe even a month, but my gut tells me it's coming.

OK well I pre-ordered the game. Maybe this long absence is supposed to like force everybody to pre-order the poker game cause they all have such bad Strong Bad withdraw symptoms LOL!!

oh man i thought this would have some of wacky races reference you know strong bad would setup some
tricks and traps maybe bubs has concession stand that changes in to things
or maybe the homstarmy would be like the anthill mob and they have to use "double time march power with there feet" (a parody of getaway power) who knows i hope homestar.com has a soapbox doiby series that i can watch each week or as if :sb:
