Fun Facts

Trivia

Remarks

  • Coach Z's name is spelled "Coach Zee".

Fixed Glitches

  • In the old version, on the image with Bubs, the page URL is hs1x, whereas the others are hs1, hs2, hs3, etc. The Brothers Chaps may have forgotten to put it in, which is why it didn't follow the order, and clicking 'back' from hs14 took you to hs13 rather than hs1x, as it should have. This has since been fixed in the new version made on February 14, 2006, found in the museum.
  • In the old version, there were buttons for 'next' on the last image, and 'back' on the first image. Those would take you to cartoons.html, which was 404'd. This has also since been corrected in the new version made on February 14, 2006.

DVD Version

  • The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
  • The book is read out loud now.
  • Instead of the images being fullscreen, the book is now presented in a similar fashion to kids' book, with music from pop-up playing.

Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Matt Chapman, Mike Chapman)

MATT: Look, Mike, it's an old book! How many times do you think I say something about, "Look Mike", or "Hi Mike", or "Hey Mike" at the beginning at a commentary?

MIKE: All of them. This is the last bit of Homestar Runner-ery before the website.

MATT: That's right. This was done on Mike's old Free Country, USA website.

MIKE: Yeah, this is just a HTML page click-through story book. Mindspring.com... what was your old...

MATT: ~mikechapman?

MIKE: Yeah, yeah. So, for some reason the "post box" and the "auto" is basically British. Old Homestar sort of had this weird Japanese feel, and then he went through this weird British phase.
