We enjoyed a reception at San Francisco's Cartoon Art Museum to celebrate an exhibition of Phil Frank's work, including the Beach Blanket Babylon-inspired Hearts in San Francisco heart which was recently donated by Beach Blanket Babylon producer Jo Schuman Silver.

The heart, sponsored by the San Francisco Chronicle, was part of the city-wide art installation and fundraiser project benefiting San Francisco General Hospital Foundation.

Phil was the featured speaker at the Yosemite Association's 31st annual members' meeting. He signed copies of his books, including the newest Farley compendium, Eat, Drink & Be Hairy as well as the classic Fur and Loafing in Yosemite. He offered a selection of original drawings of the classic Yosemite cartoons - each was matted and signed to sell for $250. Net proceeds will support the Yosemite Association's programs and services. In addition, the drawings which accompanied his talk were auctioned off at a live auction.
