Episode 4 of Star Boy. If it makes no sense, I recommend reading Episode 6.

A comic by StarBoyWebcomics posted on September 12, 2025. Frame 1: Star Boy stands in a shop with a thoughtful look as he considers a mounted bear head behind the counter. Thought bubbles lead to the next frame. Frame 2: In a thought bubble, Star Boy contemplates a robber's head mounted on the wall like the bear's head in the shop. Thought bubbles lead to the next frame. Frame 3: Now Star Boy is contemplating a rainbow-background portrait of himself holding his sword hanging on the wall between two mounted robber heads. Frame 4: Star Boy has emerged from his reverie, saying, “... Nah.” while the shop-keep looks confused and slightly concerned.

A comic by StarBoyWebcomics posted on September 10, 2025. The top of the comic has a title box saying: What Even Is Star Boy? The true story of how Star Boy came to be. Frame 1: Two stick figures sit at computers, tapping away at the keyboards. The left figure has a blank expression and swooshy red hair that looks remarkably like Star Boy's, aka Red. The right figure has a cheeky grin and medium-length brown hair, aka Brown. Between them is a screen containing the date Sun June 22, 2025 and the title “Dis Chord” subtitled “Our TTRPG Group”. Red: “Me to my other TTRPG group: My personality does NOT primarily subsist of gay. My personality is swords and stars. Friend: That is not a Venn diagram, that is a circle.” Brown: “Look!

Frame 3: Red: “If only I had a colour printer, I'd hang it on the fridge.” Brown: “In that case, I should've given it a background. Maybe some hair. I dunno. Hair is hard.” Followed by two more copies of the star wielding a sword, both with rainbow backgrounds, one of which has red hair like Red's. Frame 4: “The next day...” Date on screen now Mon June 23, 2025. Red: “I finished it!” Followed by a photograph of an illithid (or a mind flayer) head mounted on the wall. Brown: “Okay, but hear me out...” Followed by a manipulated version of the picture that has become a framed portrait of the rainbow-background sword-wielding star with swooshy red hair hanging between two mounted illithid heads. Frame 5: Brown: “Someone needs to take Paint away before I hurt myself. Or fi…
