Since Pom Pom (and possibly others) peek as well, maybe this should have a different title? {{User:Salty/sig}} 20:55, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

:Well, right now all we have is the one related incident. Give an example of the "possibly others". Also, the Pom Pom one is different from the Homestar ones: Homestar moves where he can see the viewer ''and stays there'', but Pom Pom peeked and then straightened back up. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:56, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes I realise this discussuion is over a year old, but what about the end of Strong Bad Email: Big White Face?  The Poopsmith looks up and pokes The Paper with his shovel.  He makes contact and looks, does this count? [[User:Elkmiester||\|/[_}-Elkmiester-{_]\|/|]] 18:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Running Gag

This looks like a bona fide running gag. What say you others? If the concensus is yes, then the examples need to be linked to this page. — It's dot com 00:35, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I really thought it was turning into a running gag as well. Pom Pom also looks under The Paper in the bird. —BazookaJoe 01:32, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)
I was surprised there wasn't a page on this already!--minibaseball.png Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 03:12, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, definatly a running gag Homestramy20 07:55, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Wasn't there some extra on one of the DVD's that also had this? I can't remember. --Alcnolien

Oh, it was the dvd menu for Disc 3. Does that instance count? --Alcnolien
I would think so. Doesn't hurt to try.--minibaseball.png Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 03:53, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)
This is soooooo running gag. definately. --Bubsty

[edit] Stub?

What more needs to be done to this stub?--Martin925 00:34, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Oh, I dunno... I was eventually planning to add more to the description or maybe make a table out of the appearances or something. — It's dot com 00:39, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)
Oh ok. Just wonderin. Not a bad idea! No wiki page is perfect, and there is always little or big things to make them better, since, you (It's dot com) can do anything! Good luck, and take your time. This article is in no rush.--Martin925 00:48, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)
I've got a big long list of minor projects to tend to, and sometimes I have trouble crossing them off the list. ;) — It's dot com

[edit] I added Pom Pom peeking in "the bird"

I think it needs a mention, it's just a vairiation of Homestar peeking.-KookykmanImage:kookysig.gif(t)(c)(r)

I put it in its own subsection. — It's dot com 18:46, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Better Image

Can anyone get a better image for the article? Because the one that's on there now is way too bright. I would do it myself, but my Compy will only upload JPGs. Has Matt? (talk) 04:22, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Since Pom Pom (and possibly others) peek as well, maybe this should have a different title? SaltyTalk! 20:55, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, right now all we have is the one related incident. Give an example of the "possibly others". Also, the Pom Pom one is different from the Homestar ones: Homestar moves where he can see the viewer and stays there, but Pom Pom peeked and then straightened back up. — It's dot com 21:56, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
There has now been another instance of a different character (Strong Bad) peeking. I would like to renew the question of whether this page should be moved to a more generic title. — It's dot com 19:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Right now there are 7 instances of Homestar and 2 of any other character. How about re-consider it when there's atleast 4 made by other characters? Elcool (talk)(contribs) 10:33, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes I realise this discussuion is over a year old, but what about the end of Strong Bad Email: Big White Face? The Poopsmith looks up and pokes The Paper with his shovel. He makes contact and looks, does this count? |\|/[_}-Elkmiester-{_]\|/| 18:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Doubt it. That's poking, not peeking. --DorianGray 19:12, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Still, he looks. I think Yes. |\|/[_}-Elkmiester-{_]\|/| 19:18, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

He looks at it, not around it. Completely different. --DorianGray 19:20, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, if you say so. I dunno if we should make a 'Stuff Vote' out of this, but that's how I feel. |\|/[_}-Elkmiester-{_]\|/| 21:49, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Well actually, I looked back at the history, and you've argued about this before. I actually WOULD like to see if other people agree with me...Now, how do I do that? |\|/[_}-Elkmiester-{_]\|/|

Come on guys! I think that The Poopsmith's scene counts as a reference. |\|/[_}-Elkmiester-{_]\|/|

O.K., I'm adding it! If you don't agree, let's have a vote! |\|/[_}-Elkmiester-{_]\|/|

We try to avoid votes whenever possible. Discussion is usually the better way to go. Now, about The Poopsmith: this page is about characters peeking around something to get a better look at the viewer. Just looking at something doesn't cut it. His interaction with The Paper is a good addition to Fourth Wall Breaks, but this topic is much more specific. Has Matt? (talk) 01:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Well maybe we should rename this, something like..."The Paper Interactions" or something fancy. Because The Poopsmith doesn't really fit now, but with that name it would work. |\|/[_}-Elkmiester-{_]\|/|

Interactions with The Paper are listed on The Paper's page. That and Fourth Wall Breaks are probably the only places this belongs. Has Matt? (talk) 01:35, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, okay...That's probably best...Thanks Matt. Just trying to help, sorry for the trouble. |\|/[_}-Elkmiester-{_]\|/|

[edit] Debut?

Where does Homestar Peek in A Holiday Greeting? - BlackWidower 06:39, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
