CD Packaging Details

Part Description
CD It looks like a home-burned CD-R of the Videlectrix Media brand (which parodies the appearance of many CD-Rs), with a capacity of "70 jg". The title looks like it was hand-written with a permanent marker. On the underside of the CD, the word "Homestar" is laser-etched into the outer part of the middle.
Cover The front of the CD jacket has a blue ballpoint pen illustration of Strong Bad with blaring amps for feet, lightning bolts for arms, and two electric guitars sticking out of his head like gigantic horns.
Inside Cover Trogdor is burninating a modern-day city and fending off a jet, helicopter, tank, and some infantrymen. A defeated pig-man, possibly the Kerrek, is also shown. There is also a pouch-like slit to hold the booklet and sticker.
Sticker A rectangular sticker with the Limozeen logo in white on a black background.
Booklet The front has a color version of the illustration from the jacket. The next two pages feature three promotional posters:
Strong Bad

On page four, there is a Taranchula album cover, featuring a sinister-looking rocker-type flexing his biceps, with a black background and glowing white skin. The Limozeen album cover for "Zeenin' Into the Night" is seen on page five, and features the members of Limozeen in silhouette, standing atop a limousine at sunset and assuming rocker poses.

The last two pages contain the drawings behind the credits and acknowledgments appear to be "prototype" drawings of some of the characters, including Teen Girl Squad and Eh! Steve!. A fat Strong Sad, a The S is for Sucks prototype and a Stinkoman without any blue hair can also be seen. A character that looks a bit like Homeschool Winner can be seen on the far right side. There are also a few pictures from Exaggerations.

The back of the booklet contains a photo of Dangeresque-like sunglasses under a spotlight.

Under the CD Illustration of Dangeresque's "cool glasses".
Back of Case A hand-written track listing and copyright notice, which reads:
© ® 2003 Harmless Junk, Inc. All rights reserved

The Cheap as Free logo is present.

Easter Eggs

  • At 6 minutes and 20 secs into the last track, Homestar Runner sings a hidden track, Secret Song.
  • This CD contains the music video directed by The Cheat for "These peoples try to fade me". While video should auto-start in a Windows-based computer, it will not auto-start on a Mac OS-based computer. However, it can be viewed on either system, regardless of whether it starts itself automatically. The name of the CD when it is in the drive is "SUPER_SECRETS".

Fun Facts

Inside References

  • The album title is an example of the use of the word "type".

Real-World References

Fast Forward

  • The cover design and the illustrations behind the credits have been featured on the Sketchbook, a bonus feature included with strongbad_email.exe Disc Three.
  • The rock opera email also shows Strong Bad with 2 guitars sticking out of his head.
  • The Taranchula album art (seen in the booklet) also appears in montage.
