i was lucky enough to have a lil chat on IM with the father of the wonderful brother chaps ( www.homestarrunner.com ) yeah i hope the length isnt too long for my friends in the hs community

Me : you are a genious

( The chaps dad lets call him "Strong Dad" thats not his SN ): ?

Tempast33: you are one part of the amazing brothers chap?

Strong Dad: no i'm a parent of the brothers chaps........i'm strong dad

Me: ah well then sir you should be proud of your offspring

Strong Dad: I certainly am

Me: i'm sure you are at least partly responsible for their sense of humor

Strong Dad: well, I like to think so

Me: have they alway worked together on stuff like this?

Strong Dad: yes ever since they took an art course in cartoning in grammar school

Strong Dad: ...although Mike created HS & most of the characters by himself when he was in college

Me: ah, the original storybook?

Strong Dad: I see you've delved into the museum

Me: yeah i've been a fan for quite awhile. and i think i've overcome the "oh great now everyone knoes about my secret lil funny" and i'm glad they've gotten so popular

Strong Dad: may I ask where you live and your age range?

Me: montgomery AL and i'm 22

Strong Dad: that hits their target market right in the middle

Me: well i'm glad that means i've got plenty of time left to be in the age to enjoy it

Strong Dad: well I enjoy it too and I'm more than twice the age of the target market

Me: thats wonderful, i hope they continue to produce such wonderful material for many years to come

Strong Dad: So do I - and they plan to......if they can make a living from it

Me: well from what i can tell they've bumped up the production of the merch. and they contiue to come up with original ideas for stuff to sell, and the fact that the art and concept is so great. i think they just might pull it off

Strong Dad: I hope so....they've worked hard on it

Me: i havent had that chance to order anything yet but from what i hear they are very generous and kind to the people that order

Strong Dad: we give freebies to everyone who orders

Me: i'm having to save up cash for a summer trip but i hope to order something as soon as i get some spare cash

Strong Dad: thanks for your complimentary comments......I'll pass them along to the guys......gotta go now

Me: thanks for the chat sir

Me: and thanks for the chaps ^_^

Strong Dad: yw
