Fun Facts
Goofs
- The King of Town's head never moves, but the reflection in the screen bobs and turns as he speaks. This becomes most obvious by observing the King's crown.
- The toon uses the Compy 386 loading screen, not the Tandy 400 one.
- The contrast dials are moved down, cutting off the word "contrast". Also, the word "contrast" is in a font different from what it used to be.
- The brown line in the background extends behind the Tandy's screen's border and slightly overlaps the King's face on the left side. This is best noticed by zooming in.
Inside References
- The cost of the Tandy 400 in the page title ($900) is a reference to gimmicks where Strong Bad asks to borrow 900 dollars from Strong Sad to repair the broken computer.
- The "little chef guy" the King of Town refers to is That Little Chef Guy from the The King of Town DVD toon.
Fast Forward
- The King of Town later does check email successfully in Strong Badia the Free. He shows why emailing him is a bad idea as stated in this toon by giving a polite, succinct response to an email that should have been an easy target, to Strong Bad's chagrin.
