What's this, a blog post on Saturday? Has the world fallen into chaos? No, but I have some really big news that I felt deserves a little post of its own. If you're a regular visitor to the Cartoon Research website, you may know this already, but if you aren't (you definitely should be), I'm ecstatic to say that I contributed to a post uploaded to the site this past Friday. The piece, written by Michael Lyons, celebrates Mother's Day by looking at "The Blessed Event," the episode of The Flintstones where Pebbles is born. Lyons, who I've mentioned here a couple times and collaborated with for my "Favorite Flintstones" post in February, was kind enough to ask both myself and Greg Ehrbar (another name I bring up frequently) to say a few words on why the episode stands as one of the most important in the series.
As somebody inspired to create this blog partially by the Cartoon Research team, contributing to a post on the website was nothing short of a dream come true, and it was a lovely piece to work on. You can find Lyons' post right here. His features are some of my favorite on the site, so adding to those was something special.
That said, I hope everyone has a great Mother's Day tomorrow, and I'll sign off with this funny Cartoon Network print ad from 1993 celebrating the holiday. Be sure to thank the Wilma Flintstones, Jane Jetsons, and Race Bannons in your life, and I'll see you guys again next week!
