This is one of my favorite cartoons! I actually bought the toy years ago and had Billy West sign it. He's the greatest!

Check out my upcoming cartoon book Cereal Killers!

I picked up the action figure recently at a local comic convention. Love the Yak's design!

That's just about one of the funniest characters to ever come out of R&S.

Ah, the Good Ole Daze of Held Cels & Overlay/Underlays.. I remember it well! Though we always hadda add a l'il Cel Level hierarchy key, too..

But what's with the old-school "rounded" TV Cutoff Field Guide, tho.. I've never understood why you guys used that old stuff.. Was that just a SpĆ¼mco "nostalgia" quirk, or what?

Were there drugs involved in creating Mr Yak?

Beer was involved in the creation of the Yak - both this one and the 5 - toed, speckled burrowing yak in Untamed World.
