Yabba Dabba Doozies

Last week I showed a sketched Flintstone page and some clips from the daily strip that Paul spector found in his father, Irv Spector's files. He tought they were just doodle done for fun, I felt they looked like actual sketches for a Sunday page. So I had a look in the months after the date on the clipings to see if this gag turned up in the Flintstone Sundays, ether written or drawn by Spector. Since the clippings were from november 1962, I started in mid december, but had no luck. This is what I found. The Christmas episode looks like it was done by a different artist, by the way.

These last few are significant, because they seem to be about the birth of Pebbles. I don't know if Pebbles was first shown on the television show or in the strip, but some Flintstne collector could probably tell me.

Along with those Flintstone Sundays, I also got a few more Yogi Bear Sundays. And because I did want to ad a bit of color today, I added another of my own scans (more to follow).

Ger Apeldoorn,

This Yogi Bear Sunday page from 1962 (drawn by Harvey Eisenberg) was mirrored on a Yogi Bear episode from the classical Yogi Bear Show (Hanna-Barbera/Columbia Pictures, 1960-62), where Ranger Smith plans a strategy to avoid Yogi robbering the "pic-a-nic" baskets: disguising himself into a tourist to surprise Yogi.
On this same Sunday page, we see Mr. Ranger disguised as a tourist with a tropical look.

Among the Flintstones Sunday pages from 1962-63, which appear on this topic (great part of them were drawn by Dick "Bick" Bickenbach), the Jan. 27, 1963 Flintstones Sunday page was drawn by the legendary Harvey Eisenberg (the "Carl Barks from Hanna-Barbera").
