I love these answering machine cartoons. The kind of messages each character leaves really help to piece together their personality and all their quirks.
Of all the types of toons, the answering machines make me the most uncomfortable... Coach Z weeping with loneliness, Homsar recovering in the hospital from Strong Bad's inflicted injuries... making the cartoon looniness more real somehow makes it more dark.
See, I think it's brave and creative😊 I like that the Brothers Chaps are willing to go there... And conveniently, all the dark, introspective, existential soul-searching in the H*R universe is contained within Marzipan's answering machine... So if it's too much of a downer for you, you know what to avoid 😊
I had always figured that Homsar got permanently ducked up by the anvil and talked like that because of it. But then they released a game that said Homsar just talked like that because it was his native language and if properly translated you could understand him.
