Fun Facts
Trivia
- The Homestarmy poster was originally put up with the letter "m" removed, making it say "Homestary." Only a few hours after being up, the wallpaper was changed to include the "m".
Remarks
- In the "Everybody, Everybody" wallpaper, The Poopsmith's lower arms are orange, while his upper arms are stained.
- Viewing the Flash file of the wallpaper pop-up (http://www.homestarrunner.com/hsicons/wallpaper.swf) instead of going through the Downloads page causes the links to not work. They come up as http://www.homestarrunner.com/hsicons/wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg instead of http://www.homestarrunner.com/wallpapers/armywallpaper2.jpg (for example).
Inside References
- Strong Bad's message "Every time that I look at myself, I can't believe how awesome I am!!!" is a quote from Strong Bad Sings.
Real-World References
- The Homestarmy poster is an obvious play on the poster featuring Uncle Sam with the words "I want you for U.S. Army".
- The Homestarmy poster and those flanking it are all based on war propaganda posters disseminated by the U.S. government during World War II.
- The Municipality poster is a throw-back to George Orwell's classic dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Fast Forward
- The Marshmallow wallpaper is seen again in the Strong Bad Email videography.
