''New toon soon!''


When [[The Brothers Chaps]] don't have anything ready to release on Monday morning (or very rarely on other days), they frequently let viewers know via a [[Main Page Messages|Main Page message]] that there will be an email or other '''new toon soon''' so that viewers will know to check back before the next week. When they say "soon", a little more than half the time they mean later in the same day, and the rest of the time they mean sometime the next day (except for the most recent big [[Halloween]] toons, which each had [[Halloween Teasers|teasers]] and took several days to be released).
'''New toon soon!''' (and variations thereof) is a [[Main Page Messages|main page message]] used by [[The Brothers Chaps]] to inform visitors that an anticipated site update is delayed.


<br />
From [[H*R.com updates 2002|2002]] through [[H*R.com updates 2009|2009]], [[homestarrunner.com]] was typically updated on Monday mornings with a new [[toons|toon]] or [[Strong Bad Email]]. These new toons would be indicated by a [[Main Page Messages|Main Page Message]], such as "new cartoon!" or "halloween toon!". If the expected toon was not ready to release on Monday morning (or on another day of the week, such as a [[Holidays|holiday]]), the "soon" message would be posted instead. "Soon" typically meant the toon would be released later the same day or on the next day. The exception was recent [[Halloween]] toons, which made use of [[Halloween Teasers|special teasers]] and frequently took several additional days for their full release.
 
The Main Page messages were essentially deprecated in favor of [[Index Page Messages|index page messages]] during the [[Post-Flash Site Update|post-Flash site update]] on December 31, 2020. Main page messages no longer use unique "new" text, instead simply pointing towards "latest toon" without indicating if it is new. As [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] is only "updated every Someday", it is unlikely that a "new toon soon!" main page message will be used again.

New toon soon!

New toon soon! (and variations thereof) is a main page message used by The Brothers Chaps to inform visitors that an anticipated site update is delayed.

From 2002 through 2009, homestarrunner.com was typically updated on Monday mornings with a new toon or Strong Bad Email. These new toons would be indicated by a Main Page Message, such as "new cartoon!" or "halloween toon!". If the expected toon was not ready to release on Monday morning (or on another day of the week, such as a holiday), the "soon" message would be posted instead. "Soon" typically meant the toon would be released later the same day or on the next day. The exception was recent Halloween toons, which made use of special teasers and frequently took several additional days for their full release.

The Main Page messages were essentially deprecated in favor of index page messages during the post-Flash site update on December 31, 2020. Main page messages no longer use unique "new" text, instead simply pointing towards "latest toon" without indicating if it is new. As Homestar Runner is only "updated every Someday", it is unlikely that a "new toon soon!" main page message will be used again.
