The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest is the original children's book written by Mike Chapman and Craig Zobel that started it all. The museum archives the story plus some alternate cover ideas. In the book, The Homestar Runner, Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and three other characters enter the Strongest Man in the World Contest. Strong Bad tries to cheat with the help of a furry yellow animal, thus given the unique name, "The Cheat." Strong Bad later made a revised edition of the story in the email "kids' book." The book was also spoofed in the 100th email "flashback," which in turn inspired Main Page 20.
