weekly web wonder

HomestarGreetings, earthlings, and welcome to the brand new, weekly web wonder entry! This week's website is HomestarRunner.com, one of the most ultracool Flash websites I've seen in my entire browsing life. This CartoonNetwork-esque website documents the life of Homestar Runner, one of the most lovable comic characters around. There's also a bunch of other people,StrongBad including the uber-villain StrongBad and his brothers StrongMad and StrongSad.

College buddies Mike Chapman and Craig Zobel created the first Homestar comic book way back in 1996, out of sheer boredom. The website was launched soon after, with Mike handling the Flash animation and his brother Homestar and PomPomMatt doing the voices for all the characters, save Marzipan, Homestar's girlfriend.

Be sure to check out StrongBad email - it's a hilarious weekly feature that appears every Monday on the website, where StrongBad replies to one of the thousands of emails he gets every week. There's also tons of archived toons to watch, so hurry now and go see HomestarRunner - It's Dot Com!
