Farley (comic Strip) - Cast

Cast

The cast of the strip grew to such an extent that Farley, the title character, appeared infrequently. The usual cast was:

• Farley, a reporter for the San Francisco Daily Requirement newspaper.
• Bruce, a right-wing raven that lives with Farley.
• Baba Rebop, mystic and the Prophet of Ocean Beach.
• A quartet of urban California black bears who run a restaurant for animals called the Fog City Dumpster. The bears originally came from Asphalt State Park and followed Farley to San Francisco. They take summer vacation in Yosemite National Park. The bears include:
  • Floyd, the Fog City Dumpster cook.
  • Alphonse, a die-hard San Francisco Giants fan.
  • Franklin, who often wears a sombrero and bandoleers.
  • Hilda, a female with a crush on Farley.
• The Feral Cat Colony
  • Orwell, a feral cat in Golden Gate Park who always is trying to get rich, sometimes by writing to Vice President Dick Cheney with new schemes.
  • Speedbump, a feral cat, Orwell's assistant.
• Miles, mild-mannered dog host of KFUR, a radio station for dogs and cats.
• Velma Melmac, a housewife who parks her monster RV in Yosemite National Park each summer, doing her best to keep nature at bay by, for example, vacuuming the nature trails.
• Beppo, a homeless Vietnam vet and North Beach sidewalk resident
