			\| [[Super NES]] was drawn in [[Mario Paint Character Variations\|Mario Paint]]. The colors were very odd, in part due to the color limitation. [[Pom Pom]] has a white head in one scene and occasionally a green body, [[Strong Sad]] is flesh-colored and gray, and [[Strong Mad]] is wider than ever. What's more, [[Strong Bad]] is given teeth and, in one scene, a [[Green Tongues\|green tongue]].

'''Stylized character designs''' are intentional variations to the normal character models. [[The Brothers Chaps]] will play with line weights, colors and proportions to achieve a unique look for specific cartoons. These are not part of the gradual [[Character Evolutions|evolution]] of the characters, but rather a fresh experimental design.

| The characters are drawn with bright colors and no shading. The proportions were also very inconsistent, especially with Homestar Runner and [[Coach Z]]. According to [[In Search of the Yello Dello Storyboards|the DVD commentary]] for the Yello Dello storyboards, this is because Matt drew the storyboards very quickly and messily. However, Mike ended up liking those versions of the characters better, and so they were kept that way in the final cartoon.

While [[The King of Town Evolution|the King of Town]] and [[The Poopsmith Evolution|the Poopsmith]]'s designs in this toon can be counted as part of their evolution, [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Pom Pom]] have different proportions and are drawn in an off-kilter manner.

He has a small amount of [[Whatsit|whatsit]] on his gloves. The wood on his shovel is brown instead of yellow.<br />
A potential partial explanation for his appearance is that TBC altered his head to resemble a Pom head, due to all other characters in the slideshow having Pom heads.
