| The [[Original Book|original Homestar Runner storybook]] had been co-created by [[Mike Chapman]] and [[Craig Zobel]] in the summer of 1996. Matt did not contribute to this book, later joking that "I worked in a movie theater that summer and they told me to shut up and to go away. NOW who's shutting up and going away?"<span class="reference"><sup>[#endnote_2 [2]]</sup></span> Later that year, he and Mike co-created [[Super NES|a Mario Paint animation]] featuring the Homestar characters as a Christmas gift for their older brother [[Donnie Chapman|Donnie]] — the first Homestar Runner cartoon.
| |
|
| |
| In 1999, after both brothers had graduated from college, they moved into an apartment together in Atlanta. Wanting to create a project together, and fascinated by the possibilities of [[Flash]] animation, they decided on Homestar Runner and launched a site to host their animations in January of 2000.<span class="reference"><sup>[#endnote_3 [3]]</sup></span>

So, throughout my life I just talked in dumb voices — but I never thought of it as a thing I ''do'', or wanted to be a voice actor, or any of that sort of thing; it was just a stupid thing that I did that probably annoyed most people, and I found a way to make it pay for me."<span class="reference"><sup>[#endnote_4 [4]]</sup></span></blockquote>
