Right from it's first appearance The Flintstones was one of the most solid examples of gag comedy writing and drawing. As a Flintstones fan I would have loved for them to do more with the (Flint) Stone Age gadgets powered by animals, but all through the sixties they worked the characters really well. In the seventies the art dropped a bit to my taste, but in 1968 they were still going strong.

Materials 100% Gene Hazelton.
The Flintstones Sunday pages from 1969 (including the first one) were inked by the Disney disciple Lee Hooper. And the only Sunday page from 1968 was inked by Roger Armstrong.
The Flintstones Sunday page from November 17, 1968 (drawn by Gene Hazelton and inked by Roger Armstrong), is also included in the Yowp-Yowp's blog (http://yowpyowp.blogspot.com).
Who is the older man in the last comic? Family of Fred? greetings.
The older man appears in more of the strips (Sunday and daily) and I guess it is some sort of elder relative of Fred or Wilma.
He's Pops, the Fred's dad.
Thanks for your reactions, both of you! I didn't know. :)
Look at this dress which Wilma is trying in the Flintstones Sunday page from July 6, 1969 (drawn by the legendary Gene Hazelton).
Doesn't this dress look like a sarong?
Wilma Flintstone, the sarong queen!
Die of envy, Dorothy Lamour!
