One of the fun things about “The Flintstones” on TV was an animal-turned-into-an-appliance turning to the audience and saying some tired crack about its job. We almost get that in the Flintstones daily comics 50 years ago today. But there’s not enough space. Wilma just shows off the pelican disposal to Betty, who replies “What will they think of next?” (It’s a punch-line that turned up occasionally in the dailies about this time).
I’ve also included the last two rows of the weekend comics. I can’t find any that have the top row, which usually has a long opening drawing, sometimes featuring characters not seen in the bottom two rows that most papers ran. So perhaps Baby Puss is hiding there. Are the weekend comics by Dick Bickenbach?
Dino isn’t talking this month, but he’s still tolerating abuse by the talking-to-herself Pebbles.
