The King of Town Main Page is accessed through an Easter egg in The King of Town DVD. Click on the mustache on the coat of arms, then the shield will swing back and you can click on the brick behind it. There are only four buttons, each bearing a singular label ("toon", "game", etc.), unlike the typical plural labels.
Cast (in order of appearance): The King of Town, The King of Town's Sheep, Multi-Function Dragon, Atari Dragon, The S is for Sucks Dragon, The Hornblower

In 2004, the page was changed to mirror the fan's personal website; the domain expired sometime between 2005 and 2008 and is not currently active.
