Way-Cool Websites

Homestarrunner.com
By Phil Vigil
There are many Flash-based websites, but one stands out more than the others. Homestarrunner.com is the funniest and most clever Flash animation site. Mike Chapman and Craig Zobel created Homestar Runner when they were in college in 1996. The website didn't really take off until the summer of 2001, when they created Strong Bad e-mails (Strong Bad is one of the many interesting characters on the site.) Homestar Runner now has a huge fan base consisting of mainly college age students and young adults. After watching some of the short cartoons, you will be an instant fan of all the characters. When you first go to the site, be sure to click "characters". This introduces all the different characters that are a part of Homestarrunner.com. Also check out "sb emails" where Strong Bad will answer your questions. Even if you have a slow connection, Flash animation loads fairly quickly. You can go to the site here: Homestarrunner.com
