Mice and multiple heads. That’s what we get in the Flintstones Sunday comics 48 years ago this month.
Better still, we finally get a comic that focuses on Baby Puss. You remember her being that cat that doesn’t stay out for the night in the closing animation of the series, but rarely appears in the cartoons themselves. (There was some Baby Puss merchandise during the run of the series).
The red-shaded comics come from the collection of Richard Holliss, as usual. Click on them to make them bigger.

October 4, 1970. We learn Baby Puss is female. Don’t you like the curly mouse tail in the opening panel?

October 11, 1970. Readers who didn’t see the top row in their paper (I suspect a majority didn’t use it so they could fit three comics on one page) didn’t miss much. It has nothing to do with the rest of the comic. Fred’s not only a letch, he doesn’t like ‘60s style protesters.

October 18, 1970. More mice. I like the one sticking out his tongue at a quizzical Pebbles.

No Rubbles this month and the comics-only Pops character has been given the month off as well.
