Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I don't have anything earth-shattering to share with you today, but I do have a little something. To celebrate the holiday, here's a selection of pieces featuring one modern stone-age family partaking in Thanksgiving dinner. Does it really make sense for them to celebrate this particular holiday? Not at all, but a lot of things in The Flintstones don't make sense, so who cares?
This first piece was a sericel released in the early 2000s, apparently for the Viva Rock Vegas movie. Kinda strange, as the movie doesn't have anything to do with the holiday, but I guess they really wanted to ride that movie hype.
This second one I also believe was a sericel, though it was released in the nineties. It depicts the Flintstones and Rubbles preparing for dinner...except for Fred, who has his hands a little full with one giant-sized turkey.
I'm not quite sure where this last one comes from, showing Bamm-Bamm bringing in the Thanksgiving turkey. Judging by its size, I think we can assume this is the turkey from the last piece.
The sericel which depicts Fred being carried by a giant-sized turkey, was drawn by the legendary Gene Hazelton, who drew between 1961 and 1985 the Flintstones and Yogi Bear comic strips.
ReplyDeleteAlias, in the Flintstones comic strip, there are several situations involving the Thanksgiving Day. And these situations are included at Fandom (http://flintstones.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_comic_strips).
