	The [[Toons\|cartoons]] nominally center on [[Homestar Runner]], a somewhat dim but good-hearted athlete. The character [[Strong Bad]], however, is often more popular among fans, mostly through his [[Strong Bad Email]] cartoons (released near-weekly for several years) in which he answers actual emails from viewers. Strong Bad works closely with his sidekick [[The Cheat]] and uses his brother [[Strong Mad]] as the muscle in his operations. Together, the three prey on Strong Bad's depressed brother [[Strong Sad]]. Many of the site's features — [[Songs\|music]], [[Games\|games]], [[Main Pages\|main pages]], [[Characters\|characters]], etc. — are based on concepts from the Strong Bad Emails.
