Added DiffLines:

* BlatantLies: In his commentary track, Strong Bad claims that the King of Town doesn't actually live in this castle, but in a run-down two-room building next to the Brothers Strong's house. Later cartoons show Strong Bad was lying, and the KOT really does have a castle.


Added DiffLines:

* TheDogWasTheMastermind: The solution to the mystery of the missing sheep is that the KOT ate them himself, and forgot afterwards.
