-	~~==History==~~	+	In addition to Homestar Runner, the brothers have contributed to [[The Brothers Chaps' Other Projects\|other projects]] {{--}} typically as artists, musicians, or actors.
-	~~[[Image:youngtbc.jpg\|thumb\|As kids]]~~	+
-	In ~~1996~~, ~~during~~ the [[~~Olympics]] in Atlanta, Mike Chapman and his friend [[Craig Zobel]] created a children~~'~~s book called "[[Original Book~~\|~~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 15 books and gave them to some of their friends to read for fun~~.	+

		+	Mike and Matt are the youngest of [[Don and Harriet Chapman]]'s five children. Born in [[Indiana]], they were raised in [[Georgia]] and still live [[Office of The Brothers Chaps\|and work]] in the Atlanta area.

		+	{{seemain\|Homestar Runner (body of work)#History}}
		+	In 1996, Mike Chapman co-wrote ''[[Original Book\|The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest]]'' with friend [[Craig Zobel]] as a pastiche of children's books. Mike, Matt, and Craig made [[Super NES\|a short animation]] featuring the characters from the book as a Christmas present for older brother [[Donnie Chapman]].

-	~~==Appearances in toons==~~	+	In 1999, both of the brothers had moved back to Georgia after finishing their collegiate studies and they soon moved into an apartment together. After discovering the creative possibilities of [[Flash]], and desiring to work on a creative project together as they had during their childhood, the brothers decided to use the Homestar Runner [[characters]] to teach themselves Flash animation. Sharing writing and art duties, and with Matt providing most of the character voices, The Brothers Chaps launched [[homestarrunner.com]] in January of 2000 to host and share their cartoons.

-	*The ~~brothers appear in the~~ [[~~sloshy]] music video from [[Record Store Day~~]].	+

-	~~==Family==~~	+	Popularity of the site grew largely through word-of-mouth, with [[Store\|merchandise sales]] allowing TBC to devote themselves full-time to Homestar Runner by 2002 and adopt a weekly schedule for new toons and site updates. This schedule continued through late 2009, when the site took a three-year [[hiatus]] as [[The Brothers Chaps' Other Projects\|The Brothers Chaps focused on other projects]]; as of 2015 the site has shifted to an "updated every someday" schedule.

The brothers are most prominently seen as members of [[Homestar Runner universe\|in-universe]] bands, including [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[sloshy]].
