Fun Facts
Trivia

- This is the first appearance of kicking a can.

Glitches
- In the old version, on the image with Bubs, the page URL is hs1x, whereas the others are hs1, hs2, hs3, etc. The Brothers Chaps may have forgotten to put it in, which is why it didn't follow the order, and clicking 'back' from hs14 took you to hs13 rather than hs1x, as it should have. This has since been fixed in the new version made on February 14, 2006, found in the museum.
- In the old version, there were buttons for 'next' on the last image, and 'back' on the first image. Those would take you to cartoons.html, which was 404'd. This has also since been corrected in the new version made on February 14, 2006.
Fast Forward
- In 2009, the book was made into a Flash cartoon.
DVD Version
- The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
- The book is read out loud now.
- Instead of the images being fullscreen, the book is now presented in a similar fashion to kids' book, with music from pop-up playing.
Commentary Transcript
(Commentary by: Matt Chapman, Mike Chapman)
MATT: Look, Mike, it's an old book! How many times do you think I say something about, "Look Mike", or "Hi Mike", or "Hey Mike" at the beginning at a commentary?
MIKE: All of them. This is the last bit of Homestar Runner-ery before the website.
MATT: That's right. This was done on Mike's old Free Country, USA website.
MIKE: Yeah, this is just a HTML page click-through story book. Mindspring.com... what was your old...
MATT: ~mikechapman?
MIKE: Yeah, yeah. So, for some reason the "post box" and the "auto" is basically British. Old Homestar sort of had this weird Japanese feel, and then he went through this weird British phase.
{both laugh}
MIKE: And this is the uh... when Bubs and Coach Z, their first appearance.
MATT: De-butt.
MIKE: De-butt. And the umpire, too. Who, uh...
{Matt laughs}
MATT: Who we forgot to make that Easter egg! We were going to put the Umpire in an Easter egg in the last email we made.
MIKE: You'll never hear from him again now! That was his one chance!
MATT: I like the weird shadow of the can. The wind from the can flying. The motion lines.
MIKE: Yeah.
MATT: That's a nice fridge.
MIKE: Well... well, thanks.
MATT: I want to punch this narrator, Mike.
MIKE: That's you, Matt. He's really...
MATT: I don't like him. He's very soft-spoken. He's pandering. I feel like if I was a child I would be insulted by him. Like, "This guy thinks I'm an idiot! I need to be handled with kid gloves." Say something else, Mike.
MIKE: Eh...
MATT: What do you think of your style? Were you... you know, kind of "loosely fill in..."
MIKE: Go outside the lines?
MATT: Yeah, like they tell you not to do!
MIKE: Yeah. I was breaking all the rules with this one. {"The End" shows up on the screen} I agree.
MATT: Yeah...
