15 years ago this August, Strong Bad pulled out his Tandy 400 and answered his first email in the world of Homestar Runner, the influential animated series started in 2000 by brothers Matt and Mike Chapman. Five years before YouTube launched, The Brothers Chaps pushed the limits of Flash to bring us Marzipan, Strong Sad, The Cheat, Trogdor the Burninator, the blistering sounds of Limozeen, and so much more. They join us from Atlanta for a very rare appearance to share some of their favorite moments, the history of the series, and what they’re working on now.
