'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{typing}'' Umm, how do you make this thing go? I want to check all my emails. Anybody? The Poopsmith? That little chef guy? I need some help here! This is the last time I buy a used computer from Bubs.

* 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.

* 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.

<span id="fast-forward"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Fast Forward</span> ===

* 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.
