The Flintstonemobile
What keeps the rear tire on the Flintstonemobile from falling off?
———- from David Anthony Alderson ofMinneapolis, MN
I have some bad news for you. There is no Flintstonemobile. It’s all partof the stupid imaginary world of that most pathetic of Honeymoonersrip-offs, that embarassing product of the early sixties, the shame of HannahBarbara, (who have a lot to be ashamed of)…the Flintstones. The declineof animated cartoons began in the fifties and reached its nadir in the latesixties and early seventies. Computer animation rescued the industry, but awoeful lack of invention and the death of creativity that so characterizeHollywood persist, and the fact that you, a child in the nineties, areharboring the pathetic images of the shame of the sixties… on behalf ofall adults I apologize. We’re sorry. We really are.
