Soolnds

Soolnds is Strong Sad's preferred term for his peculiar feet. He first named them this on his blog; however, most of the time, others refer to them as, or compare them to, "elephant feet". They are apparently in high demand, as Strong Bad can be overheard selling them in 50 emails for fifty bucks, and some poachers have offered Strong Sad several thousand dollars for them.

Originally, the soles of Strong Sad's soolnds had no visible features, as seen in a A Decemberween Pageant. However, in later toons, more detail has been shown. In caffeine and the chair, Strong Sad's soles are briefly seen to have spirals. Saddy Dumpington has this quality as well, as shown in A Folky Tale. However, in Experimental Film, Strong Sad's soles have concentric circles reminiscent of a tree's growth rings.
