made entirely by two guys from Georgia
timeless, wholesome humor
isn't needlessly bloated with convoluted lore or character drama that goes nowhere
never tried to go "bigger and better"
never became consumed by drama from the creators' personal lives
still gets updated as a labor of love even after the creators went on to bigger things
I just think the indie animation crowd could learn a thing or two from Homestar Runner.
(and before you say "BUT THEY HAD A TELLTALE GAME AND ALEX HIRSCH ON" it bears mentioning that Telltale was a much smaller company back then and it made sense as a way of returning the favor, given the Chaps had done tributes to LucasArts games, and Hirsch was just a one-time thing and they didn't make a big deal about it, plus the whole reason Matt got to work on Gravity Falls was because of HSR and not the other way around)
