Publication historyThe strip originally began in 1975 as Travels With Farley, a play on John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley.[1] Farley began as a nationally syndicated strip with Chronicle Features,[2] but Frank missed the "timeliness and joy of doing local politics" and, dissatisfied with the four-to-six week lead time required of syndication, in 1985 switched to working exclusively for the Chronicle, which enabled him to quickly mine local events—usually overnight—for his satire. Phil Frank died on September 12, 2007,[3] shortly after announcing, on September 9, that he was retiring due to illness.[4] Reprints of the strip had been running for some months before this, as he had been too ill to work.[3] OutlineFarley is a satire of life in the San Francisco Bay Area and California. The title character is Farley, a reporter for the San Francisco Daily Requirement. The strip poked fun at current events in San Francisco, often lampooning such events as the response to Mayor Gavin Newsom's temporary legalization of gay marriage as well as national events such as the National Do Not Call Registry or Vice President Dick Cheney. The strip also kept track of the current situation of the San Francisco Giants baseball team through the actions of Alphonse, one of the urban bears who is obsessed with the team. Alphonse was often shown leaving a hot dog and a beer at home plate in the middle of the night as an offering to the baseball gods. CastThe cast of the strip grew to such an extent that Farley, the title character, appeared infrequently. The usual cast was:
BooksA number of the strips have been collected and published as books.
