* As far as I can tell, the episodes in SBCG4AP are relatively close. Between Episodes 2 and 3, when did Marzipan get the time to build a rock garden? Better yet, how does she get to her backyard now that the only route is sealed off?

** Though that does leave the accounts of [[spoiler: Homsar being able to speak normally on the phone]], and in SBCG4AP, [[spoiler: That mysterious pylon Homsar uses to translate his words to everyone else.]] I don't think Strong Sad's promise to Homsar will last very long, but maybe Homsar's smarter than we think...

* Also in Marzipan's Answering Machine 17, [[spoiler: Homsar expresses over the phone how sick he is of speaking in non-sequiturs and can only be understood over the phone, calling what he says "Garbage"]], However in SBCG4AP [[spoiler: it's shown that Homsar is actually speaking in another language that Strongbad only understood and spoke via the Mysterious Pylon. Homsar even has a different voice with it!]]. Could it be a retcon or...?

Added DiffLines:

*In "A Folksy Tale," Strong Sad refers to Saddy Dumpington as a "folk hero," which implies that the latter performed some sort of great heroic deed. However, [[spoiler: at the end of Strong Sad's story, he only makes things worse by making everyone laugh themselves into unconcsiousness.]] So why come he called him a folk hero?

*** It's a {{claymation}} movie, and when you realize that the 23-minute [[WallaceAndGromit "A Grand Day Out"]] took ''six years'' to make, that kinda gives some reason as to why TBC are doing almost nothing with H*R. There's a difference between waggling Strong Bad's head to an audio track and having to remember what actions were going in what direction for all the on screen activity. Imagine working 12 hours on just a few minutes of run time only to realize you accidently shortened dialogue motion which would make lip sync impossible or did some movement backward or in the wrong direction for a couple days.

Answered some stuff, and made some new questions.

Added DiffLines:

** Maybe some email shows from the rest of the cast sounds quite nice as well. I would see someone like Marzipan and/or the other Strong brother answering emails, with varying degrees of sucess. But then again, characters can be very hard to animate.


Added DiffLines:

** But what about that one time with the guillot- oh wait, that's probably a cartoony death. ...Or is it?


Added DiffLines:

** Perhaps the electrode wire transmitting the signal to the receiver is perhaps operated by clever manipulation of those sport gloves, so maybe there isn't as much trickery afoot as you'd think!

** Maybe the phone taps into the power of the pylon, without changing his voice.

** My sentiments exactly. However, I think that the latter would be more appropriate for Volume 5.


Added DiffLines:

* In Marzipan's Answering Machine 17, why does the Visor Robot speak with its Powered by The Cheat voice (from Everybody to the Limit) as opposed to its "canon" voice (from Senor Mortgage)?
