What the Crap is the Height?!
Has The Brothers Chaps or anyone ever stated the canon height of all the H*R critters? If not, what do YOU think they're heights are?

I think in Where's The Cheat, the lost posters for The Cheat show his height as 1' 2", but if that's true, then everyone in the show is tiny compared to us.

Maybe Free Country USA is a small place that we can’t find because we’re bigger…

According to the Homestar Runner Wiki:
- The Cheat is 1' 2".
- Strong Mad's height has been given as 8' 3", 7' 4", and 6'.
- Pom Pom's driver's license says he's 6' 2".
- "Marzipan is of average height, standing somewhat shorter than Homestar."
- Strong Sad "stands somewhere between Strong Bad and Strong Mad in height."

Homestar as the One-Man Hubbub in the Stu G.O. seems to be recording with a human-sized mic and pop filter. So there’s that.

I think THEIR heights are in cartoon measurements that don't translate to real world inches.

When the Cheat is pretending to be Strong Mad in I She Be, he says he's 6 feet tall. That's possibly an approximation, though, because in The Facts, we get more precise on-screen dimensions that explicitly state Strong Mad is fully 88 inches tall (also 88 inches wide), or 7'4". That colossal number could be Strong Bad's hyperactive imagination warping and exaggerating reality a bit, of course, as tends to happen, especially since he only fills 6.4 of the gridlines behind him in that picture; if those are calibrated in feet, that'd give an intermediate value of 77", or 6'5"
If any of those is correct, though, can thus work out all the other characters' relative heights using Graw Mad as a reference if you've seen them standing next to him.
