Don’t you like it when current pop culture references are mixed in with old ones as if they belong together?
Fred Flintstone has a hippie friend (in the Stone Age world of 1970). But the hippie talks like a beatnik from the late 1950s.
Mind you, I think it’s cool that Fred isn’t judgmental. The hippie’s a friend and it’s an accepted fact. No jokes about clothes or hair or baths or anything like that.
The unnamed peace medallion guy shows up in the Flintstones newspaper comics in March 49 years ago. Someone who doesn’t show up for the second month in a row are Betty and Barney Rubble. Pops is in the March 15th comic and I love the Spring and Winter characterisations in the March 22nd comic, which showcases Pebbles. You can click on any of them to make them bigger.
