Love Farley and his co stars! Book was in excellent share!
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2008
This year has been sad with the passing of Phil Frank, one of the 'Greats' of the comic strip medium. "Fur and Loafing in Yosemite" is a collection of almost 200 of Phil's cartoons that are about his wonderful Yosemite-based Bears. With Bruinhilda, Alphonse, Franklin, Floyd and Olaf, the subject matter ranges from Trash-Can Dining to a crazy camping lady with a vacuum cleaner fetish.

I have seen a few bears in my day, {and I have drawn a couple as well} but Phil Frank drew the Greatest and Funniest Bears of all. These are about the finest Bruins in the Business, and they are very, very funny.
I cannot recommend this book enough...Yosemite, Bears, Phil Frank.
It doesn't get better than this, some of the Greatest cartoons of our time are right here in this wonderful collection of: "Fur and Loafing."
FIVE STARS !!!

Fun read if you enjoy visiting Yosemite.

I bought this book because of the cartoonist, Phil Frank. He and another gentleman created the masterpiece comic strip, The Elderberries, and I have enjoyed Phil's drawing and humor ever since I read the strip. Im planning on collecting all I can find drawn by Mr. Frank. Unfortunately, Mr. Franks passed away earlier this year.

The characters created by Phil Frank are always great, funny and so true to life.

As a lifelong fan of the San Francisco Chronicle in general and "Farley" in particular (as well as a total Yosemite freak!), each summer I look forward to the inevitable installments involving Phil Frank's bear trio (proprietors of "The Fog City Dumpster" restaurant in SF) and neatnik camper Mrs. Melmac (who immediately sets off bug bombs in the area around her massive RV when she arrives for the summer) in Yosemite Valley. So you can imagine my delight when I found that all those terrific strips were put in one magnificent collection!
Every summer the bears and Mrs. Melmac take off for Yosemite - Mrs. Melmac in her RV, the bears whichever way they can (one year they hijacked a SF Muni bus) and the fun begins! It's great to be able to relive these moments over and over. Two thumbs up!

Thank you, Mr. Frank! This book helped keep me going thorough a very busy and complicated week. And it will help me again. Very funny -- and like the best humor, based on fact.

Farley was an excellent comic and it's great to see that at least some of them are available in an affordable form.
