EAT, DRINK & BE HAIRY: the travels & travails of Yosemite's
bears & their peculiar pals. by Phil Frank.
Every year four urbanized black bears make a
summer-long visit to Yosemite from San Francisco in Phil Frank's cartoon
strip 'Farley,' which appears daily in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Known as Bruinhilda, Alphonse, Franklin, and Floyd, the ursine quartet
members wreak devious havoc in Yosemite Valley and have become a thorn in
the side of the park rangers. Other Yosemite-related strips feature Velma Melmac
(an RV-loving camper from Manteca who abhors dirt), her assistant in a
campground cleaning business Lisa Ann, Velma's love interest Rhett, seasonal
ranger Farley, Charbeaver (an employee at the Fog City Dumpster), and even
former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown. This collection of nearly 300 hilarious cartoon
strips originally appearing between 1999 and 2004 is the second 'Farley' book
to be published by the Yosemite Conservancy. The first, Fur and Loafing in Yosemite, has
proven to be a classic favorite of park visitors and Yosemite lovers. The book includes a cast of characters, a map of the
annual migration route of Ursus corruptus, a wonderful schematic
drawing of Velma's Ark-A-Lounger motor home, and an inside view of the bears
in camp. 168 pages; 12 inches x 9 inches; illustrated in black
and white; paperback; copyright 2006, Yosemite Conservancy.
