<span id="explanations"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Explanations </span> ===

* Though ''[[Original Book|The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest]]'' was created in 1996, it was [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007|scanned and digitally colored in 1997]]. This is why the first stage in the "Evolution of Homestar" wallpaper is dated to '97 instead of his origin in 1996.

<span id="remarks"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Remarks </span> ===

* In the "Everybody, Everybody" wallpaper, [[The Poopsmith]]'s lower arms are orange, while his upper arms are stained.
* Viewing the Flash file of the wallpaper pop-up ([https://old.homestarrunner.com/hsicons/wallpaper.swf http://www.homestarrunner.com/hsicons/wallpaper.swf]) instead of going through the Downloads page causes the links to not work. They come up as [https://old.homestarrunner.com/hsicons/wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg http://www.homestarrunner.com/hsicons/wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg] instead of [https://old.homestarrunner.com/wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg http://www.homestarrunner.com/wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg] (for example).

<span id="fixed-goofs"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Fixed Goofs </span> ===

* The Homestarmy poster initially lacked the letter "m", reading "Homestary." A few hours after being up, the design was fixed.

<span id="inside-references"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Inside References </span> ===

* Strong Bad's message "Every time that I look at myself, I can't believe how awesome I am!!!" is a quote from [[Strong Bad Sings]].

<span id="real-world-references"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline"> Real-World References</span> ===

* The Homestarmy poster is an obvious play on the iconic [[Uncle Sam]] recruitment poster reading "I want '''you''' for U.S. Army".
** The Homestarmy poster and those flanking it are all based on war propaganda posters disseminated by the U.S. government during World War II.
* The Municipality "We're Onto You" design is evocative of "[[Big Brother (Nineteen Eighty-Four)|Big Brother is watching you]]" from ''[[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]''.

<span id="fast-forward"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Fast Forward</span> ===

* The Marshmallow wallpaper is seen again in the Strong Bad Email [[videography]].
