The '''Yearbook Character Page''' is a [[School|school]]-themed [[Characters|characters]] page. Eleven characters are photographed, and each picture links to a short summary about the character.

An "autographs" portion of the yearbook includes signatures and salutations from several of the characters. Their personalities are further emphasized by their comments and handwriting — Strong Sad's superb penmanship, Pom Pom's [[Pom Pom's Girls|fliratious phone numbers]], and Strong Mad's difficulty with spelling.

'''Page Title (picture page):''' Yearbook

'''Page Title (autographs page):''' This year was the best!

=== '''[[Bubs]]''' ===

'''Page Title:''' Bubs C. Stand

'''Original Page Title:''' Bubs

''{Bubs is standing in front of a silhouetted concession stand, throwing a can and kicking it back to his hand.}''

<blockquote>Bubs is an entrepreneur, 
but he can't spell that, so 
let's just say he's awesome. 
He runs the concession stand 
down at the sports fields. 
That's [[Why Come|why come]] he's so fat. 
He keeps eating all his profits. 
But then he goes out and 
dances all the pounds off at 
Disco Tech, where he attends 
night courses. In his spare time he has boring 
conversations with Coach Z and reads back issues 
of Motor Trend magazine.</blockquote>

=== '''[[The Cheat]]''' ===

'''Page Title:''' The Cheat is a Millionare!

'''Original Page Title:''' The Cheat

''{The Cheat is standing in front of some blue spots. He narrows his eyes, shifts to both sides, and smiles, making his [[The Cheat's Gold Tooth|gold tooth]] gleam.}''

<blockquote>Nobody knows what the Cheat 
is exactly or where he comes 
from but my guess is Space. He 
sure does like to cheat though. 
His personal motto, "No rule is 
solid" and his love of all that is 
untrue and incorrect keep him 
from accomplishing very much. 
He gladly does all the dirty work for the Brothers 
Strong, and nobody ever seems to blame the 
Cheat for what he done. I mean he's the Cheat. 
Come on. When all is said and done, and your 
grandkids live on Mars, the Cheat'll be doin alright.</blockquote>

=== '''[[Coach Z]]''' ===

'''Page Title:''' The Fightin' Coach Z

'''Original Page Title:''' Coach z

''{Coach Z is standing in front of a silhouetted clipboard and spinning a whistle with his hand.}''

<blockquote>Coach Z is a crazy man from 
another country that sleeps 
in the locker room. He's also 
the best hope we've got for 
making it to state this year. 
The Coach knows how to 
get 110 percent out of 
Homestar and the rest of 
the team. He's the master 
of all the big sports. You know 
the ones I mean. The BIG ones. Coach also claims 
to have been a chart topping rapper back in his 
home country. We'll see about that.</blockquote>

=== '''[[Homestar Runner]]''' ===

'''Page Title:''' Homestar Michael Runner

'''Original Page Title:''' Homestar Runner

''{Homestar is shown inside a blue star. He inhales, holds his breath, turns red and then blue, then exhales, panting for breath.}''

<blockquote>This guy is everyone's best friend. 
He is 2 to 3 times better than 
the next best person in 
the world. That's why he 
wins everything and why 
everyone loves him so much. 
he can be pretty dumb, sure, 
but it's just cause he's so 
danged nice. His main man 
Pom-Pom is always there 
picking up the slack for him. Asked what his 
favorite season is, Homestar responded, "Sure." 
You can't beat that with a stick, can ya?</blockquote>

=== '''[[The King of Town]]''' ===

'''Page Title:''' His Broiled Majesty High Kingimost of Towne the Third

'''Original Page Title:''' The King of Town

''{The King of Town is standing in front of a silhouetted tower. He falls asleep and wakes up, with his crown jumping and spinning in the air before landing back on his head.}''

<blockquote>The King of Town is the elder 
statesman of [[Free Country, USA|Free Country USA]]. He doesn't really do 
anything other than [[The King of Town's Food|eat]] and 
sleep. Come to think of it, he 
doesn't even sleep. He only 
eats. And talks about eating. 
His reign as king dates back 
to before any of you were 
born, so don't worry about it. 
Also, he employs The Poopsmith for reasons 
no one is sure of, and he has a [[The King of Town's Sheep|flock of sheep]], 
also for reasons no one is sure of. Weird old man.</blockquote>

=== '''[[Marzipan]]''' ===

'''Page Title:''' Marzipan

''{Marzipan is standing in front of several yellow flowers. She is holding a book, flipping a page and jumping a little.}''

<blockquote>Marzipan is [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship|Homestar's girlfriend]]. No wait, she's not. 
Or she is, but don't tell her I 
said that. Anyway, Marzi can 
often be seen swimming with 
the dolphins in the swampy 
marsh or tending to her 
substantial herd of [[Goats|goats]]. Other 
hobbies include: BBQing, fencing, 
songwriting and oil painting (many of her 
paintings are laden with symbolic images). I think 
Strong Bad put it best when he described her as 
'a dirty hippie...without the dirt'.</blockquote>

=== '''[[Pom Pom]]''' ===

'''Page Title:''' Pom Pom, Son of General Pom of Family Pom of the Isle of Pom

'''Original Page Title:''' Pom Pom

''{Pom Pom is standing in front of a large blue blot. He points in one direction, winks, and repeats in the other direction.}''

<blockquote>Pom Pom is a pom, which 
means he comes from The 
[[Pom Pom, Too|Isle of Pom]], where all [[Pom Pom's Girls|27 of his girlfriends]] live. He's 
Homestar's best friend for 
sure and for true. His IQ is 
off the charts as is his 
attendance. His sharp wits 
often get ol' Homestar out of some pretty tight 
jams. I don't mean to call Homestar stupid or 
nothin but sometimes his excessive niceness 
can cloud his better judgement. And Pom Pom's 
always there to turn that cloud upside down.</blockquote>

=== '''[[The Poopsmith]]''' ===

'''Page Title:''' The Poopsmith

''{The Poopsmith is standing in front of a silhouetted pile of [[Whatsit|whatsit]]. He chews and blows a bubble gum bubble, which then pops.}''

<blockquote>Here's what we know about the 
Poopsmith currently: 
He shovels [[Crap|crap]] for the King of 
Town. And he smells really bad. 
And that's it. Everything else 
is a mystery. Like what are 
those stains on his gloves? 
And how come he smells so 
bad? Homestar thinks he could be 
over 1,000 years old. And Strong Bad says he has 
[[X for Brains|crap for brains]]. But he's been calling everybody 
'crap for brains' lately so I wouldn't give that one 
too much thought.</blockquote>

=== '''[[Strong Bad]]''' ===

'''Page Title:''' Strong Bad

''{Strong Bad is standing in front of a yellow explosion. He lifts his arms, looks up, and begins to shake his arms while the background flashes a few times.}''

<blockquote>"I cannot tell a lie. You are so 
stupid." That's our Strong Bad, 
always charmingly irreverent, 
always a big jerk. He tries so 
hard to be lowdown and 
rotten but usually ends up 
being hilarious and in last 
place. With the help of his 
brother Strong Mad and their little 
yellow thing the Cheat, Strong Bad does everything 
he can to ruin Homestar's day, despite their 
one-time plans to get matching tattoos. All in all, 
Strong Bad will spit in your food and ask for a bite.</blockquote>

=== '''[[Strong Mad]]''' ===

'''Page Title:''' Strong Mad

''{Strong Mad's face and upper body are seen inside a large M. He is inhaling and exhaling while slowly falling asleep. He drools on himself and wakes up again.}''

<blockquote>If anyone is truly a big lug, 
Strong Mad is. This guy is 
dumb and strong, and that's 
pretty much the definition of 
a lug. One time, his brother 
Strong Bad asked him to pick 
up this one car. And so he did, 
but it was the wrong car. See? 
Dumb and strong. He'll do just 
about anything Strong Bad 
tells him to do. One time, he asked him to pick up 
this one car... oh wait, already said that one. Strong 
Mad and the Cheat are best friends. Hi-Five.</blockquote>

=== '''[[Strong Sad]]''' ===

'''Page Title:''' Strong Sad

''{Strong Sad is standing in front of a big teardrop. He rubs his eye with his finger and sighs.}''

<blockquote>Strong Sad is a depressing lump. 
A fat, gray, [[Soolnds|elephant-footed]] 
depressing lump. But look at 
how cute he is. Awww. His 
brothers Strong Bad and 
Mad disowned him a while 
back because he refused to 
help them cheat. Plus they 
thought he was a total drag. 
Pretty much everybody thinks 
he's a total drag. But Homestar and the gang still 
love him even though he tends to worry too much 
and bring everybody down... and be a total drag.</blockquote>

== Fun Facts ==


=== Explanations ===

* [[Homsar]] is not in the yearbook because he had not [[homsar|been created]] yet.
* Strong Bad's "RHTS" is an abbreviation for "Raise Hell This Summer", an exhortation popular in yearbooks of bygone decades.


=== Trivia ===

* By this point, the Poopsmith is now considered a main character. He had been excluded from [[Old Characters Page|the prior "Characters" page]].
* Bubs stands in front of a silhouetted [[Bubs' Concession Stand|concession stand]].
* Marzipan is depicted reading a book titled ''The Chronology of Moths''.
* The area code of Pom Pom's pager, [[Area code 718|718]], covers the outer boroughs of New York City and is referenced in several hip-hop works. Due to the [[North American Numbering Plan|numbering system]], an area code of "123" is not possible in North America.
* Several characters — Bubs, The Cheat, Coach Z, Homestar Runner, The King of Town, and Pom Pom — had their [[Page Titles|page titles]] expanded during the [[Post-Flash Site Update|post-Flash site update]].


=== Remarks ===

* Although the word "[[Integral Article|the]]" is considered part of The Cheat's name, it is not capitalized like it usually is.
* The [[Navigation Bar|old pop-up menu]] can be accessed from the main "Yearbook" page, brought up by mousing over the bottom of the toon frame.
* The concept of The Cheat being from [[Outer Space|space]] has not been returned to in any cartoon.
** In the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[flashback]], Strong Bad believes that The Cheat is from a giant [[Eggs|egg]] filled with a lifetime supply of fish sticks.
* Strong Mad's misspelling of his own name as "Strng Man" is one letter away from [[Strong Man]], his [[Old-Timey]] counterpart.
* [[Disco Tech]] is a homonym for the [[French]] word "discothèque", meaning "[[Clubs (organizations)|dance club]]".
* The bits of bubble gum on The Poopsmith's page fly off the actual page, beyond the boundaries of the book.


=== Goofs ===

* Marzipan turns the pages of her book from right-to-left, the wrong direction for reading in English.


=== Fixed Goofs ===

* Coach Z's page had the title "Coach z", with an uncapitalized "z".


=== Inside References ===

* Bubs is throwing around the [[Can of Water Soup|can]] from "[[Kick the Can]]" on his page.
* Bubs's page also mentions the [[The Athletic Field|sports fields]].


=== Real-World References ===

* Disko Tech, spelled very similarly to Bubs's alma mater, is a school featured in oft-referenced ''[[Batman]]'' episode "[[The Joker Goes to School]]".


=== Fast Forward ===

* Later instances of Strong Bad's handwriting would standardize the use of the [[Fonts|font]] AhnbergHand, instead of the lettering seen here..
* The statement that Coach Z "sleeps in [[Coach Z's Locker Room|the locker room]]" is revisited on several occasions —
** In [[A Jorb Well Done]], he sleeps on the bench listening to Strong Sad's cassette tape.
** In [[Coach Z's Character Video]], he tells the camera he usually sleeps on a bench.
** In [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], he rests in a locker.
* The [[Homestar Quiz]] asks "Where does Bubs attend night classes?" — the answer, "Disco Tech", is only concretely answered here. As of 2003, the Yearbook Character Page is [[Secret Pages|not linked to]] from anywhere on [[homestarrunner.com|the site]], making this question difficult to answer.
** The email [[rated]] depicts Bubs wearing a Disco Tech sweatshirt, though it does not explicate his relationship to the school.
* Homestar has a much easier time holding his breath here in the yearbook than he does in [[Halloween Fairstival]], when Strong Bad pays him to stop breathing.
* In the email [[virus]], Strong Mad is turned into this yearbook picture (accompanied by some of the text appearing) by [[The Virus|the virus]].
* Homestar and Strong Bad again discuss their [[Tattoos|tattoo]] plans in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]].
* In the email [[narrator]], Strong Bad points out that Bubs and Coach Z are having a boring conversation.
* Coach Z's ability to get "110 percent" out of the team is revisited in the title of [[Coach Z's 110%]].
