In an interesting turn, Homestar Runner, a popular online cartoon, has decided to remain on the web, rather than heading to Comedy Central or the Cartoon Network. Something that most people are surprised about, but Matt and Mike Chapman say it is for the best.
“There was a brief flirtation with Comedy Central and Adult Swim,” Matt said. “The whole TV thing seemed creepy. They wanted to plug it into their model — that all comedy was gag-related, not character-driven. They left the door open, but we liked what we were doing and kept doing it online.”
I am glad to see they weren’t totally blinded by the chance at a few extra bucks. Doing what you love, the way you want it, is one of the best ways to live.
