Literature
Retromestar: Childrens' Books
So, to start things off with the history of Homestar Runner, let’s go back to where it all started. Mike and Matt Chapman had just gotten out of high school, or college, or something, I don’t remember, and they wanted to think of something interesting to do with their lives. So, the first thing they did was create a little character with a familiar star shirt, a recognizable beanie, and of course, no arms whatsoever. This was made into a storybook made for children. This was The Homestar Runner Enters The Strongest Man In The World Contest.
Yes, people, this is where it all began. The Brothers Chaps first created Homestar Runner for the sake of children’s literature. Not the most likely place to start, but what are we to know, right?
In The Strongest Man In The World, everybody loves The Homestar Runner. He is a terrific athlete. And yes, it only makes sense to say the quote.
Emily: 🤔 But would they love him if he wasn’t so athletic?
🤷 Well, he hasn’t really done anything athletic
