History
In 1996 during the Olympics in Atlanta, Mike Chapman and his friend Craig Zobel created a children's book called "The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest." They did this out of boredom and to satirize the poorly made children's books they saw at their local mall. After writing and drawing it, they copied about 10 books and gave them to some of their friends to read for fun.
In 1999 Mike started learning Macromedia Flash and decided to practice on some of the characters from the original book. His younger brother Matt Chapman performed the voices for the cartoons and together they launched a website to show their close friends their cartoons. Word of mouth spread, and their website and characters have become a smash hit.
