===2009−2014: Hiatus===
Through 2010, Homestar Runner remained financially viable for the brothers through sales of related merchandise. Both brothers were married by 2010 and had their children to care for, and they recognized that they would need to find other jobs to support their respective families.<ref name="io9 oral" /> When Matt had a second daughter, the two agreed to put the series on hiatus, knowing they would want to come back to it but could not guarantee a time frame. Mike also noted that they had spent nearly ten years delivering a weekly cartoon, and believed that, creatively, they needed a break.<ref name="io9 oral" /> The success of Homestar Runner led to Matt and Mike getting writing jobs for television animated series ''[[Yo Gabba Gabba!]]'', ''[[Gravity Falls]]'', ''[[The Aquabats! Super Show!]]'', and ''[[Wander Over Yonder]]''.<ref name="io9 oral" />

During this hiatus, the brothers released a small number of Homestar Runner cartoons, including ones for 2010's [[April Fools' Day]] and Decemberween holidays. They also made a special video featuring Homestar and Strong Bad for the 2013 [[San Diego Comic-Con International|San Diego Comic-Con]] to introduce a panel regarding the history of [[W00tstock]].
