Image Discription
Homeschool Winner

The mysterious character of Homeschool Winner came about when a friend of the Brothers Chaps was unable to recall Homestar Runner's name. In the Club Aquatica interview, Matt recalls that his friend said: "What's your website, HomeschoolWinner.com?" Homeschool is described as "a big nerd, with maybe a creepy edge to him."

The character seems to have been aborted, with few sightings to date. He first appeared and was named on the Character Cards, which are now a secret page. He then made a cameo in one of the backgrounds of Dancin' Bubs. Humorously mentioned in the Sample of Style video on the DVD, Mike breaks the tube Matt uses to make Bubs' voice, and Matt says: "Great. Now we have to kill off Bubs. Just like Homeschool Winner."


The Unguraits

The Unguraits are Nintendo-style bandits that are seen in a set of Character Cards along with Homeschool Winner, shown above. The Brothers Chaps had apparently considered using them as the forces of Blue Laser in Cheat Commandos toons, but this idea appears to have been dumped.

An Unnamed Girl

She appears in the background of the Dancin' Bubs Game. Who this character was intended to be remains a mystery, but in one interview matt chapman called her "strong glad."

Dijjery-Doo

The Dijjery-Doo is a character that was abandoned in the design phase because it was too "Cheat-like". It is only seen in the Museum Sketchbook. Its name comes from the didgeridoo, a traditional Australian Aboriginal instrument.


Trivia Time

Trivia Time was going to be Pom Pom's dog. Although there are some concept sketches in the Museum Sketchbook, he's never appeared directly in a Homestar cartoon because the Brothers Chaps couldn't make a good design. A cookie jar with his likeness is in a few toons, and in the Homestarloween Party, one of the girls' dog "Chris" looks a lot like Trivia Time.
