The '''CGI Paper''' is the current replacement for [[Compé-per]] after the [[Compé]] was compressed into the [[Lappier]]. It resembles [[The Paper]], but in [[3D Character Variations|3D]], making it far thicker and blockier. It directs viewers to [[@StrongBadActual]], rather than [[Strong Bad]]'s email address of strongbad@homestarrunner.com as prior incarnations of The Paper did. It is not clickable, unlike past papers. This paper is accompanied by a "C-G-eeow!" [[Onomatopoeia|onomatopoeia]], narrated by Strong Bad; a reference to The Paper's [[Preeeeow|preeeeow]].

It is unknown if it is a physical object present within the [[Homestar Runner universe]], as it has not yet physically appeared. Because of this, no characters have been shown to react to it, aside from Strong Bad's narration. Even then, it is uncertain whether he actually narrates it every time, or if it is simply the sound the paper makes. It is also unknown if it is sentient, as most of Strong Bad's other papers have been.

In most appearances, the CGI paper reads:

{| class="wikitable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" style="border:1px solid #80928A;text-align:center;width:300px;color:#4D5154"
|- style="background:#C7D8B4;height:5px"

This text is the same across both [[homestarrunner.com|site]] ([[Flash]]) and [[homestarrunnerdotcom|YouTube]] uploads.

As of mid-2024, [[@StrongBadActual|usage of the @StrongBadActual Twitter account has decreased]]. The Strong Bad Email [[robots]] (released November 24, 2025) uses much simpler text on the CGI Paper:

{| class="wikitable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" style="border:1px solid #80928A;text-align:center;width:300px;color:#4D5154"
|- style="background:#B8C9A8;height:10px"

|- style="background:#D3D3D3;height:12px"
| style="border: 1px solid #80928A"|
|- style="background:#A3B195;height:15px"
| style="border: 1px solid #80928A"| '''<span style="line-height:75%">>CGEEOW<</span>'''
|- style="background:#B4B4B4;height:8px"
| style="border: 1px solid #80928A"|
|}

On the YouTube version of the toon, the CGI Paper reads:
