Talk:Minor Character Variations

Should We Keep Mustachioed Homestar Here?

Mustachioed Homestar Runner has a lot of info on his section. He appeared on moer than one toons. I know that his debut was behind the black, but he did make an appearance. He's not rejected like Homeschool Winner. Maybe we should give his his own page back. And if possible (but I doubt it), Coach Zed and Cardboard Marzipan. -Lotionman 22:44, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)Lotionman

I think this page is the perfect place to collect variations like this. I look at it like they really don't need to be considered for their own pages until the amount of description is at least as much as the size of the image, which even on small monitors is not the case here. — It's dot com 22:48, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

There are many other characters that made a cameo appearance in one toon and they have their own pages. Like Sir Loodabert Comma and Goatface. -Lotionman 22:50, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I suppose the difference is that Comma and Goatface are standalone characters, whereas the others are variations on existing characters. — It's dot com 23:02, 6 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Poorly drawn?

Anyone else think that 'poor' is bad choice of words in this listing of pics? I for one think that a poorly drawn picture refers more to the artist than a picture. If an otherwise good artist make something look its old, grainy, like it was drawn by a child, or reflecting early technology, than it should be referred to as stylized, or purposefully rough. I would change them all myself but I want to get some sort of consensus first I R F 23:29, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Yet, they are still poorly drawn. Perhaps intentionally poorly drawn would fit as a better label. — Lapper (talk) 23:37, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

What is poorly drawn about that? I R F 23:40, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Neither are poorly drawn. They are both examples of Powered by The Cheat, and should not be classified as poor. — Lapper (talk) 23:44, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

But those are some of the better examples. Most of The Cheat's work is much worse than that. — It's dot com 23:47, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Actually, "poorly drawn" does refer to the artist—which in this case is The Cheat. (Yes, I know TBC actually create it, but that's like saying that Shakespeare killed King Duncan (a common comparison in Calvinistic explanations of human agency). Like the arm separating in bedtime story, or Dickensian Malapropisms, these are intentional "goofs."

Change Formatting

Maybe we should put the Minor Characters and Variations into gallery formatting like Character page.--^Super!Santana^Duper! 16:59, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
