I always find it quite funny that when Homestar is shirtless, they pixelate out his body.. especially because Strong Bad is shirtless without pixelation, as is Strong Sad, The Cheat and possibly Coach Z.

Sometimes, from a purely scientific level of curiousity, I wonder what Homestar's body would look like. I assume that it would just be flat and white. Also, I'm confused that it appears that all he wears is a shirt and propellor cap [no undawears or pants]. Does he wear shoes, or are those his feet?

Okay, I realize these questions probably aren't answerable, but I just wanted to get that offa my chest.

I guess those are his feet. And he is just flat and white. No underwears.

Early on they probably were meant to be his shoes (check out Marshmellow's Last Stand!), but now they'd probably make 'em out to be his feet.

TBC seems to avoid answering questions like that, though ... How KoT's VCR interview says he won't disclose WHY he has a poopsmith, and Strong Bad didn't exactly answer the why either in "old comics" ... And Coach Z didn't answer Strong Bad's question about whether his body was green or if he was just wearing a green body suit. "Oh, I got footies alright ... athelete's footies!"

They love torturing us, they do!

Maybe his chest is pixelled out because that's where his reproductive organ is.

Maybe they do it just to be funny

Can we PLEASE change the name of this topic? I'm in a public place and it doesn't look good.

He wears shoes. If they were his feet then The Cheat wouldn't have given him shoes in "New Boots". They also pixelate him just for a joke. Since it's a cartoon, things that don't make sense are either for jokes or just happen to be that way because, well... it's a cartoon. It would be boring if everything made sense all of the time.

Sure, why not.

Is "Nekkid Homestar" decent enough for you?

Not that "The Cheat" animation is reliable, but in "New Boots" he takes his shoe off. Homestar, that is

I believe that I have already pointed this out in my previous post. The Cheat probably wouldn't change Homestar's body (if his "shoes" were his feet).

Trev-MUN · **Posted:** Thu Dec 23, 2004 12:32 am

Maybe, maybe not ... but then, The Cheat made Coach Z pink (at times), gave Strong Bad underwear and purple boxing gloves ... so who knows. D:

That makes for an interesting question though; if TBC have made out Homestar's shoes to be his actual feet, how did he get that sneaker-like imprint of his star (again see Marshmellow's Last Stand) on 'em?

As far as the pixellated body, I agree, they're probably just making fun of TV censorship.

porplemontage · **Posted:** Thu Dec 23, 2004 1:21 am

Good point. The bottom of his "shoes" have blue lines like sneakers might have. I don't think TBC would have the bottom of his feet look like that.

Shopiom · **Posted:** Thu Dec 23, 2004 10:32 pm

They blur out Homestar's body to be funny, and because they don't want you to see his crotch. This is only a PG rated site. They wouldn't actually show parts. Oh, and the reason they don't blur out Strong Bad's body when shirtless is because he's already wearing pants, so nothing is showing.

Power Crunch · **Posted:** Fri Dec 24, 2004 7:04 am

Well, obviously none of them really have any "parts" to be shown. But since Homestar is one of the few covered most of the time, it can be funny to pixelate him.

All in all, the characters have vastly evolved from their simple original idea. But not so much in appearance.

Personally, I think it'd be funny if StrongBad took his boxing gloves off and they pixelated his hands. heh.

What do you think he is, some kind of robot? I mean, when you take your hads off, are they pixaleted? Sorry, couldn't resist...
Yeah, Strong Bad's hands are the boxing gloves, they are not covering his hands. There has been many a discussions about that theory.

Swooshoman · **Posted:** Sun Dec 26, 2004 3:53 am

Oy oy oy! That is definitely one of my H*R theory hot spots- and that theory seems to be the most commonly agreed upon.

Read my li... er, fingers... SIMPLE JOKE! Strong Bad is only avoding a much larger question in scale, and most people stupidly decide to take him literally. Its exactly the same as Coach Z's "Athlete's footie" remark- avoiding the question!

Or his mask. Of course, look closely. Behind his eyes is some red. So perhaps he's wearing a infinate supply of masks.

Thank you for kicking up an 8-month old topic.

In short, I think that Homestar's shirt IS his pants.

Puphles · **Posted:** Tue Aug 30, 2005 10:42 pm

RESURECT'd

Personally I think Homestar wears some sort of dress thing. Man dress.

Douglas · **Posted:** Tue Aug 30, 2005 10:45 pm

A kilt! It's a kilt. MacGregor tartan.

I wouldn't really say it's a dress/kilt, just a long shirt that covers up his you-know-what. Of course, if he really does wear long pants, the pixellation wouldn't be necessary.

I agree with Strong Bad, he has blue soles guled to the bottoms of his feet. It makes sense.

Snailmail · **Posted:** Sat Sep 03, 2005 1:45 am

This changed from Nekkid Homestar to Homestar's blue stuff on his feet (they're obviously shoes)

Lunar Jesty · **Posted:** Sat Sep 03, 2005 2:13 am

Perhaps we'll find out more this year's Labor Dabor. I'm sure Strong Bad will be back to work, er, no work. And Homestar nekkid isn't completely out of the question for a Labor Dabor!

You know, I find it ironic that we have off on Labor Day. Toastpaint.

Yeah, the name is quite decieving. Now it shall become "The name of this day was decieving, so we changed it... Day."

I realize this is off-off-topic, but the Day is in honor of Labor, as in the workers. Here's the wikipedia article on it.

I know, I just find it ironic that we get off on it, even though it's about labor.

this question was asked of strongbad (sorta) in sb email 127...

entitled "long pants"...

strongbad gets an email asking almost the exact question about homestar not wearing pants...

enter homestar wearing purple daisy dukes... *ding*, strongbad asks him why he doesn't wear pants and homestar goes nuts. "i wear long pants! i'ma long pants man! i wear long pants! everybody! everybody! long pants! long pants! long pants!" he runs off, the daisy dukes falling off and landing on strongbad's foot. the cheat comes in and torches them after strongbad kicks them to the floor.

i guess he wears long pants. :hr:
