Sketchbook

From Homestar Runner Wiki

This article is about the weekly Sketchbook featured on the Main Pages. For the sketchbook in the Museum, see Sketchbook (museum). For the strongbad_email.exe Disc Three bonus video, see Sketchbook (video).

The Sketchbook is a collection of conceptual art and sketches by The Brothers Chaps. Sketchbook entries often featured ideas used in or considered for toons that had been recently released.

These were once found by clicking on the S at the top of the Main Pages, and were generally updated on Thursdays from 2004 through late 2009. This hiatus was briefly broken in 2014, but no new art has been shared since October 30 of that year. After the post-Flash site update on the first day of 2021, the button did not work. On April 16, 2025, the button's function was reinstated, but the text says "the goblin was gonna". This does not apply to Main Pages 24, 25, 27, 28 or the version of the Homsar Main Page from interview.

Fun Facts

Trivia

• Prior to November 22, 2004, the image and text were part of the Flash file.
• The font used in the captions is Bauhaus 93, the same font used on Homsar's shirt.
• The longest hiatus between pop-up updates was exactly five years between October 22 of 2009 and 2014, with the longest overall hiatus being over 11 years since the following week's sketch. During activity, the record was eight weeks between April 10 and June 4, 2009.

Glitches

• Clicking the S button repeatedly while the Sketchbook popup is still loading causes the caption to move up the box. The more times it is clicked, the farther the text moves.
