Sketch'D!

Homestar is a sketch drawn on lined paper.

Cast (in order of appearance): Homestar Runner

Place: A notebook.

Icon: Sheet of notebook paper.

Page title: "Trapper Keeper!!"

Button Effects

• Toons — The paper background changes between four different kinds (regular lined paper, training paper used in early grades, yellow lined paper, and graph paper).
• Games — A circled F appears on the paper with the note, "See me after class."
• Characters — The logos of rock bands Van Halen, KISS and Led Zeppelin appear.
• Downloads — Homestar's head lifts up, exposing a portion of his spine.
• Store — A Sticky Note with Strong Bad's head and the message "I rule" is stuck over Homestar's head.
• Email — A paper football flies by.

Fun Facts

• In the .swf version, a sketch drawn mouse cursor is visible outside the frame.
• "Zoso" refers to Led Zeppelin's unnamed fourth album. The symbol represents band member Jimmy Page.
• Homestar is drawn in an older style with smaller eyes and a different curve to his lower lip. He is also missing his propeller hat. This and Main Page 12 are the only Main Pages to use the old style Homestar.
• Trapper Keeper is a brand-name seller of American binders and notebooks, most of which are prepackaged with this style of paper.
• This is the very first, and so far, the only H*R main page that does not have any additional sound effects.
• The way the pencil lines quiver is similar to the "Squigglevision" animation style employed on such cartoons as Ed, Edd 'n Eddy and Home Movies.
• Homestar's mouth is not animated for the "Store" button due to the Sticky Note over his face. Therefore, if you mouse over Store and move away again, Homestar appears to be talking without moving his mouth.
• The paper football doesn't change with the background, it is always white lined paper.
