Weird.
Gabriel James
That was very strange. Thanks for sharing OP
William Brown
Didn't Dino eventually go live with Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm in the TV specials? You could just bring this in as taking place after those.
William Cook
Not my Flintstones
Noah Morales
Not if you factor in fertility and menopause.
Ethan Morris
Two years before Pebbles was introduced in the third season.
And apparently, she'd been voiced by Pamela Anderson and Grey DeLisle.
Alexander Hill
Then what happened to F.jr?
Joshua Ross
Never existed as far as the show is concerned.
Pebbles was created when they wanted to sell baby dolls, and someone suggested they make a girl instead of a boy.
Jaxon Rivera
eaten by his pet dinosaur?
Brandon Turner
No one enjoyed their Brontosaurus ribs that night.
Juan Barnes
Think they reused his design for a next door neighbor kid.
Landon Carter
"Fred, our son is actually the neighbor's kid."
"Oh."
Lucas Evans
It was common for cavemen to eat their own children if the food was scarce.
Nolan Anderson
OH I KNOW THIS STORY
apparently Joe Barbera was showing off this work to some network businessman. Barbera was showing him Fred, Wilma and ofc the son and the businessman said "shame its a son, if they had a daughter we could make dolls and toys and really merchandise her" and without skipping a beat Joe says something like "DID I SAY SON? They have a daughter!" Pebbles was only created so they could sell toys to little girls.
Christopher Cook
Quick fred. Kill the dinosaur before it slaughters your son.
Matthew Morales
I guess it had to be done.
Jason Lopez
Those clouds look like shit. I'm not sure what the artist was going for but whatever it was it didn't work.
Angel Green
Could you imagine freds nightly fight with the cat with that thing.
Blake Carter

Not very.
The Little Golden Book adaption was based on some early scripts and designs so Fred Flintstone Junior at least made it into the early scripting stage. But no known animation cells or voicework were ever confirmed for him.
Pretty much yeah.
When they decided to re-add the baby it was initially planned to be a son. Ideal Toy Company (Who had the license to produce Flintstones toys) found out and approached them, then asked them to make it a daughter so they could start a Flintstones doll line.
Christian Barnes
Maybe but I wonder if they would be too old to have another child by then.
Aiden Bell
Junior died during spring break
Bentley Ramirez
Fred kinda looks like Ricky Gervais here.
James Martinez
that kid grew just fine.
Justin Harris
Headcanon accepted.
Isaiah Cook
Dude, its not headcanon.
Look it up on yt.
Brandon Bailey
So does Pebbles have a dick then?
Christian Taylor
Fleenstones?!?!
Justin Gutierrez
I'd Bamm-Bamm that.
Joshua Nguyen
In the last Flintstones TV special to follow the chronological continuity, Fred and Wilma adopted an orphaned boy named Stoney. They never followed up on that.
Anthony Clark
>In the last Flintstones TV special to follow the chronological continuity,
>continuity
Dino has had, like, 3 different origins over the years. I don't think the Flintstones has a rigid continuity of any kind.
Colton Hughes
Gotta be good to see her "Secret Club"
Carter Hernandez
Was anyone else weirded out as fuck an animated cartoon had a laugh track?
Cameron Long
Well, they removed it in some foreign adaptions, so I guess yes.
Nolan Bell
Thanks for the answers anons!
Did some more research of my own, Junior was mentioned in the series’ first press release and was featured in some advance merchandise.
Sauce: webrockonline.com
Still odd that after removing junior from the show that this book and the merch wasn’t edited in anyway.
Parker Young
Does anyone else find it weird that Fred and Wilma had separate beds? It's not as if the vast majority of American couples didn't sleep in the same bed anyway.
Benjamin Russell
It's explained in the lore that a T-Rex ate him in the events preceding the show
Christian Stewart
That's the way sitcom families were during the 50's and 60's. The censors considered it too scandalous to depict a married couple sleeping in the same bed since it implied sex.
Josiah Powell
Xavier Walker
christ, look at that panting on the right. goddamn
Justin Rodriguez
These paintings are incredible, please for god's sake if you're a cartoonist learn to paint for real
Aaron Green
I Dream of Jeanie was the first to have the couple share a bed, I think.
I know that the Addams's Family was the first to imply that they had an active sex life.
Connor Young
He went extinct.
John King
he died of rockemia
Henry Wilson
Tvs first sitcom ever, Mary Kay and Johnny, had the couple share a bed. This was in the late 1940s too, but then again no recordings of the show are known to exist anymore
Logan Morris
around the time Wilma stopped being one of Aku's daughter
Jack Reyes
What was the first tv show ever?
Asher Reed
It probably varies from area to area, here’s the US’ first day of tv
tvhistory.tv
The BBC’s first show was based on a play called “The Man With the Flower in His Mouth”
Jayden Nelson
please do not give me strange fantasies about Pebbles-
too late
Austin Carter
Reading it
Brody Scott
Dude, they're cavemen.
Child mortality is through the roof, if pebbles survived, they we're among the lucky ones that saw 50% of their kids live.
