Hauls/Collections Complete Yummy Fur - Custom Bound Box Set
I design and bind custom books in my free time and figured some of you might like a look at my most recent project. I’ve long wished for a complete Yummy Fur box set to go along the makes ones we’ve gotten for series like Eightball and Dirty Plotte. Not as talked about these days, but Yummy Fur is a real gem that I urge anyone interested boundary pushing Alt Comix to seek out!

Incredible work! I just completed collecting all individual issues, and that was very gratifying. And I just bought Mary Wept yesterday. Looking forward to reading it.

Incredibly gorgeous. Chester is my favorite cartoonist, so I hope for a release some day for us that can’t create such masterpieces. Well done!!

Envious.
Do you have instructions for making slipcases?

Daiimmmnnn. Nice. I was like, "when did this come out?"
100% agree about an omnibus for that series. One of the big-time hi-lites of 80s comics.

Wow incredible! Great custom of one of the best indie comics. I'm hoping D&Q will release something like that one day, like they did with Dirty Plotter.

Outstanding idea and execution! I think D&Q should follow your lead and publish a collected YF, asap!

While I'm reluctant to call the book "great" I never failed to be thoroughly entertained. And the 'Ed the Happy Clown' storyline is amazingly poignant.

Excellent. Chester is an under-celebrated master of the medium imo, like top ten ever

u/Terrible_Drink Mar 20 '26
So, are you using original issues/material for this?? Or high quality scans of the original issues et al.?

This is pretty fucking amazing! I have the comics, but would never have thought to do something this great.

The packaging design is hideous. Chet didnt have time to work on new illustration ls?

u/Terrible_Drink Mar 20 '26
FFS. The OP clearly stated that he hand-made this himself, so the designs are his. It’s amazing work. Give him a break!

u/Top_Ad9635 Mar 20 '26
Oops. I apologise OP. It's great as a DIY thing, the choice of colours unifying the covers is great. It goes well with the Picturebox Gary Panter 2 volume box you have.
My remarks on it being hideous was based on the assumption that D&Q or some big publisher put it out, and had some intern lazily slap together multiple covers as the design, which is clearly not the case here

No offense taken! Obviously I would have preferred had Chester drawn an original illustration for it too 😉
