The '''Old Characters Page''' was an early attempt to introduce the various denizens of [[Free Country, USA]]. Some of the character traits have remained from this early page, but not all. Most notably it is on this page that declares The King of Town as Marzipan's father, but this has since been discredited. This page does not include [[The Poopsmith]] or [[Homsar]] as Homsar was created later, and The Poopsmith was not considered a main character then.

The Old Characters Page was an early attempt to introduce the various denizens of Free Country, USA. Some of the character traits have remained from this early page, but not all. Most notably, it is on this page that declares The King of Town as Marzipan's father, but this has since been discredited. This page includes neither The Poopsmith nor Homsar, as Homsar was created later, and The Poopsmith was not considered a main character then.

This page was eventually superseded by the Yearbook Character Page with the addition of The Poopsmith.

Current Page Title: The Original Website!

Original Page Title: She loves me...

Contents

Bios

Strongest and maddest of the Strongs. Would you like a knuckle sandwich?
The King of Town rules! He is Marzipan's dad and likes his sheep a lot. That's kinda weird, huh?
Bubs runs the concessions down at the ball fields. He makes a helluva sno-cone. How 'bout that?
The Cheat cheats all the time. What a cheater!
Leader of the Strongs. Strong Bad comes from Parts Unknown. Lookout! He is trying to cheat off your paper!!
Coach Z isn't really much of a coach, he just thinks Coach Z sounds cooler than just Z. What do you think?
Everyone loves the Homestar Runner. He is a terrific athlete. He will share his ice cream with you.
Strong Sad has been disowned by his brothers Strong Bad and Mad. On the plus side, he has very good handwriting!
Marzipan is Homestar Runner's main squeeze. She loves horses and her boyfriend, too.
Homestar Runner's best friend. Pom-Pom comes from the Isle of Pom where they bounce around like baksketballs.
