No School Like The Old School

Since the original "Yakas & Wakas" website no longer exists (Geocities shut down! :<), I've decided to have a Y&W Retrospective on this site! This serves two purposes:

1. To re-post all of the old Y&W comics so that they once again have a home on the Internet.

2. To have a steady stream of comics available for viewing, since I've been very lax on making new ones.

Anyway, the old comics will be re-posted on a regular basis (until they've run out) in the order they first appeared and will include a short paragraph about the creation of that particular comic (excerpted from the Y&W Collection book). So stay tuned, there's a lot of old school Yakas & Wakas headed your way!

8-Bit Journey

8-BIT JOURNEY

This is a link to my second project for my Flash Animation course. I basically super-imposed my head on top of Mega Man's body and animated him to make his way through various old NES games. Be warned that, if you choose to watch a specific game again from the credits screen, you'll have to watch everything after it as well. For some reason, when you replay specific games, the buttons stop working, but if you replay the entire movie again from the start they work fine. Never could figure out why. Other than that, enjoy!

Apocalypse 2D

APOCALYPSE 2D

Here it is! A link to Apocalypse 2D! The first of (hopefully) many more Y&W animations to follow! ENJOY!

Zombie Survival: Your Best Defense is You

This is based on an idea that I had after seeing the IFRC's Influenza Pandemic video. It combines the original audio from that video (and some of my own audio) with images from the trailer for the book "The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks" by Max Brooks. The original videos that spawned this idea are linked below.

It's a MadWorld!

I know there hasn't been a new comic in almost a month, but I promise I'll get to doing one sometime soon! In the meantime, check this out!

This little piece of art is something I created for a MadWorld contest that the website VGChartz ran. I didn't end up winning, but I still enjoyed the creative process of making the piece and definitely love how it turned out!

Dharma Station - The Glorp

Here's a quick behind the scenes picture from the TV show LOST, which seems to reveal the logo for one of the DHARMA stations that has yet to be found!

Introducing: Glorp!

A new character joins the Y&W Universe! His name is Glorp, and he's from the planet Partytron. He was exploring different worlds in his spaceship, looking for the greatest party in the universe, when a computer malfunction resulted in a crash landing right in Yaka and Waka's backyard. They have agreed to let him live at their house while he toils away, trying to rebuild his destroyed spacecraft.

Personality: Fun, outgoing, and loves to party. He is also highly intelligent.
