== Biography ==
Homestar is the star of the show, but he probably doesn't realize it. Ever the butt of jokes and the recipient of [[Nicknames#Homestar Runner|nicknames]], Homestar is an earnest character with a clean heart and nothing but love for the rest of mankind. Unfortunately, his absolute cluelessness and clumsiness keep him from realizing his full potential. You can never be quite sure whether he and [[Marzipan]] are going out or not, but he sure seems to think they are. He weighs about 100 pounds, according to the toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]]. His lack of visible hands and arms in no way handicaps him, since he is somehow able to pick things up anyway. He wears either no pants or [[long pants|long pants.]]

Homestar is the star athlete on an unspecified sports team led by [[Coach Z]]. He is also colonel of the inactive [[Homestarmy]]. His best friend remains [[Pom Pom]]. He has some speech impediments; as he says, he has "twouble with his aw's."  He also likes to borrow things from (and return things to) [[Strong Bad]], particularly without the latter's knowledge.

Although he is often the target of pranks by Strong Bad, Homestar believes that he is friends with Strong Bad and tries to win his favor, often with bad results that Homestar completely misunderstands. As a whole, Homestar seems to be too dim to realize when people are being mean to him, or when he's being mean to other people. He often unintentionally insults his friends or steps on their feelings and is unable to understand their resulting feelings of anger.

== Homestar's eyes ==
*Homestar's eyes are quite strange. There are two theories to how they work.
**Sometimes they seem to move around his head. Most of the time they're like a flounder's eyes, and they switch sides on his face whenever he turns. In the [[Old Intro 2]], you can sort of see Homestar's eyes moving as the camera circles around him. Also, in [[Theme Song Video]] and the currently absent toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], you can see his face from the front, which further implies to this theory.
**But sometimes, like when he's talking to [[Bubs]] at [[Bubs' Concession Stand|his concession stand]], the camera will switch views instantly from outside the stand to inside. This gives the idea that Homestar actually has four eyes, two on each side.
*His puppet and his two figurines, on the other hand, have eyes stuck on one side of his head. Occasionally you can get a peek at the other side of Puppet Homestar's face, which looks pretty creepy without any eyes.
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] actually made the eyes velcro, so they can be switched if necessary.
