Yogi Bear Picture Book #1973
In "The Mysterious Intruder," Yogi Bear and Boo Boo stumble into a spooky, fire-scarred corner of Jellystone Park, where they encounter the Groozilys—a bizarre, family-oriented bear clan reminiscent of the era’s popular monster families. Written by Michael Maltese and illustrated by Pete Alvarado, with colors by the Western Publishing Production Shop and letters by Rome Siemen, this 1973 Picture Book offers a delightfully eerie twist on the usual antics, all wrapped in a free, nostalgic package.

Yogi and Boo Boo inadvertently wander into a barren, creepy section of Jellystone Park, which Yogi assumes was probably destroyed by a forest fire. There, they meet “The Groozilys”, a monster-bear family (not unlike the then-popular TV “monster-families” The Addams Family and The Munsters). The Groozilys consist of a husband, wife, and son - the latter of whom is so huge and, presumably, hideous that he is never seen above chest-high, except in complete silhouette at story’s end. The Groozilys show their guests some monster-bear hospitality, until Yogi and Boo Boo flee back to Ranger Smith.
