Hey Cred Forums someone requested to read the new Flintstones comic so let's read it!

...

...

>Plato's cave
nice

...

...

>page of the year 2016

...

fucking perfect.

...

...

Man, now I'm curious as to what job Fred wants to have.

Slate's?

...

Gotta say Barney's looking pretty handsome in this comic.

...

...

Or at least something that isn't down in the quarry.

Aw, Joe...

...

...

...

Probably anything that pays better but Slate is the only other guy we see at the Quarry so for all we know he could be aiming lower than Slate
Why is Betty always the hottest?

I was super bummed that I missed the readalong of Issue 3, so thanks for doin this Dan. You da real MVP

...

>buy something someone else hated making
It had been a long time since I hadn't read something that describe so well our modern economy.

>Probably anything that pays better but Slate is the only other guy we see at the Quarry so for all we know he could be aiming lower than Slate
He's the only other character that wears a tie, though.

...

This takes on a whole new meaning once you know what yabba-dabba-doo really means.

...

...

>Why is Betty always the hottest?
Because that's the natural order of things.
I'm so glad she's not the slightly overwieight friend that's there to make the main girl look skinny.

Got to say, this is decent.

...

He's the only other character we see at Fred's job besides the new hires

Why would want to see less of Pugh's art? Because that's exactly what would happen -- per volume, Pugh would be on the book for no more than 50-60% of its run, which would suck. A full Russell-Pugh series is my dream for this.

...

>Why is Betty always the hottest?
Not always.

...

Christ. I hope they remember Slate for being a gravely cunt.

I'm attracted to Fred Flinstone now... Well my life is over.

...

...

>Outsider Art
When I first read this, I didn't see the pun, but maybe that's because I was blinded by the burn of it.

...

...

...

I am not sure I am okay with this bathsuit.

...

>posts a picture during a storytime
>it's a picture of Rosie O'Donnell

That's two bad things you did, user

He looks kind of like Superman in this comic, so that's fair.

...

Bro, can I hold a rock until the first?

I love how much a dumb jock Bamm-Bamm is.

No shame in it love.

...

...

Holy shit.

...

Do we know what Barney does in this? I think he worked in the quarry in the show, but here he looks like he's earning more money than Fred.

>Neanderdolls
Are those, like... Golliwogs?

...

...

Not really Fred buys a lot of Crap too, Barney just started getting some first.

...

...

>you can't enter heaven unless morp enters you
10/10

...

death matches ?

...

>Vitamins
God dammit.

...

Don't forget the name. Shamrock.

...

>Sold back your old stuff.

This couldn't be further from the Hanna-Barbera cartoons in spirit and execution.

What's the point of even rebooting this? And as a comic, no less. Shit/bin

...

>WHAT ELSE HAS BEEN THE TEACHES OF PEACHES?

How about that Pebbles? Always knew she'd grow up nicely.

it's not exactly like the flintstones had a deep, complex lore and episodes that touched on contemporary, personal themes

...

idgi

Do you not know what a sham is?

>What's the point of even rebooting this?

They're supposed to be the MODERN stone-age family, Honeymooners shit isn't modern anymore

What are the Flintstones famous for now-a-days?

We've seen what she looks like full grown.
I like her style here better.

Because it's fun. It's a good slice of life comic and has some interesting ideas in it and nice art. So I mean while it is basically Flintstones in name only that isn't a big deal. It's a book about the rat race seemingly so it's especially relevant for folks today.

> Devo-nian
There's so many great little puns in this

Ill never see that phrase the same

It's pretty much exactly what the Hanna-Barbera cartoon was - jokes about modern life through the prism of the stone age. There's just no Honeymooners rip-off in the comic yet.

...

Being on cereal boxes with John Cena, mostly.

...

Son of a fucking bitch, I just got it!

Clicked knowing what to expect

...

...

...

...

Not really. Save for some mild profanity and a few violent/dark spots, it's pretty much what the old Flintstones cartoon was. Prehistoric, sitcommy hijinks.

DINO!

...

Post lewd dishwasher

...

They're stitching him up.

...

I honestly thought this would be shit based on the cover image, but I just keep loving this more and more with every page.

...

No sweetheart, they're eating him.
He's dead, Russel said so himself.

Artist and writer was asked about that, he said they're eating him.

...

Actually someone asked the creator on Twitter and he confirmed that the pterodactyls were eating him

...

Non-english speaker, here. Care to explain?

Bamm-Bamm's dumb grin is great.

I can never hate a Bowie reference, no matter how obvious.

>Tell my wife I love her very much.
>She knows.

Beautiful.

>The turtle rotates in space, orbiting the sun. Obviously.
Love this comic.

Love it to bits.

A sham is essentially something that is untrue from the get go, think Milli Vanilli.

Sham is a scam. A con. An act committed with the intent to defraud another.

Rocks are minerals, and vitamins are minerals.

Shamrock.

It's a pun.

A Sham is like a con, you pretend something is real in order to sell it when really its fake.

The flinstones was a sort of take on our modern society through the caricatures of cavemen.

I think, in that very aspect, this comic is quite respectful of its source material.

...

A shamrock is a four leaf clover.
A sham is something meant to deceive a person, similar to a scam.

a sham is basically a falsehood. In sales it's when they say an item does a certain thing and it does not like the Shamwow, ironic as that is. Flintstones also add rock to everything. Ergo Shamrock

>Sure, aside from all the shit that makes it totally different than the original, it's the same!

I'm not gonna poo on the party anymore, but it'd be nice if reboots did a better job of respecting the source material instead of memeing it into contemporary popular culture.

I gotta agree.

That's deep, Barn.

?

>prada parody is not called PREDA
0/10

But I mean if the writers just wrote the old show again then what's the point?

...

...

>Gerald-damned
Continuity!

...

It's doing what the old show did but for our society. That seems pretty faithful

Oh, this is going to end well for Joe.

>What's the point?

I'm asking myself the same question about this entire thing.

Gazoo's people are horrifying.

...

Did you know she only got the job because she could do the laugh?

>Gerald-damned
kek

Well I mean the point of this is using the old show's idea of parodying our society to parody our current society a bit more since the old show is less relevant. Not that the old show isn't amazing or relevant in some ways but some of the things just don't apply anymore.

...

Because its fun and one of the best comics out right now.

...

...

...

...

...

welp, this escalated fast.

>Morp goes in dry

Thanks for the info, guys.

...

Oh shit.

...

You mean a nonsense phrase that the original voice actor adlibbed when he thought yahoo was too boring?

JOE!

Thanks for reading everyone!

No see

JOE!

On one hand, I feel sad for the loss of Joe. On the other, I think he would have wanted to die while fighting for something meaningful.

JOE!!!!!

I wonder what wilma's legs look like if she can drive the car

So, Gazoo is actually important.

Thanks for the dump

>but it'd be nice if reboots did a better job of respecting the source material
seeThey actually are.

Someone finally answered his phone call...

I dunno how much meaning can be derived from fighting drunken alien college students with ray guns, but fuck it.

Thanks OP! That was much better than I would have expected.

But Joe ;_;

>al instead of memeing it into contemporary popular culture.
But... that's exactly what the original show did. That was the main point of it.

>Game Warden
Not really

>I wonder what wilma's legs look like if she can drive the car

I'm more interested as to exactly what mechanism is the front wheel of the car is attached to, that it can turn around like that.

Originally they were attached to a piece of wood with forks on each end, so they wouldn't have any ability to turn in any direction, so steering possibly worked by some never shown third wheel on the bottom of the car, that the steering wheel was actually connected to.

Thanks for the story time user.

I was amused, a little depressed and I'll never forget sgt grumbles and his noble sacrifice.

When does issue 4 come out?

Next week

>not having bike you push with your feet instead of pedalling.
missed opportunity, there.

Thanks OP, it was great finally reading them all.

>or to be fair and balanced, they are stimulating the funerary economy
kek

Should have just made it a scooter, what a pointless invention.

>Dino is stretched out just like Fred

Joe died as he lived.
pointlessly

The third wheel is the driver himself.

Why is this good Cred Forums?
Fleenstones

oh Morp damn it.

>home of the fighting tree people
Isnt that a bit insensitive?

You mean Gerald you filthy heretic!

That's a part of the joke; like the Redskins.

That's the joke, almost as if we do something similar.

When's the next issue?

See

thanks for the storytime.
I loved it.

Thanks

...

RIP Grumbles.

Hrrrrm, it's a living.

I see what you did there.

I came in, not expecting much.
I was blown away by the end of it. Much like Joe. ;_;
Thanks for always bringin' the good stuff, Dan!

F

>only reason
Yeah, I'll believe it.

fuck the pain away
fuck the pain away

how does that air conditioner work?

Dino also put his paw on the canvas just like Fred did.

...

POWERGOAT, BIZNATCH

Buffalo on treadmill makes fans turn.

Thanks for posting. Been meaning to check this out.

Well done

Oh fucking no they modeled him after Carl Sagan

Thanks for this. Hadn't read this since the first issue's Storytime.

is good, yes?

Everyone's in-character enough that I'm naturally reading it in their voices, but the way he keeps using Yabba-dabba-doo I keep hearing it in Jotaro's voice.

>the caveman equivalent of ghetto music killed there belief in their god
I fucking love this comic

Peaches is so cute

I'm fucking tearing up at a Flintstones comic. This isn't what I expected out of life.

feels amazing.

Yabba dabba daze?

Thanks for the storytime bud. I've been meaning to read this. Will definitely grab a trade when it comes out.

>Tronk 2 slab
I've read this multiple times and just realized that Plato's Cave is a movie theater, and at how much sense that makes.

Sentences you don't hear very often.

I didn't care for her design at first, but "Moody yet also a little geeky Teen Pebbles" has grown on me.

I'm also just generally happy with how loving the family is with each other. Most memories of the cartoon would probably be of a lot of shouting and slapstick pain, but scenes like the family portrait (before the alien pukes in the room anyway) are just lovely

Are the Hanna-Barbera comics selling well?

I'm assuming Scooby is the top seller.

Scooby is indeed the top seller, but the sales of the rest of the line are mediocre.

It really is an instance of unironic DEEPEST LORE

>it'd be nice if reboots did a better job of respecting the source material

Imagine that. A fucking comic guy mad that something isn't exactly like it was when he was a kid. This has never happened before.

Can't scoop the Scoob
Can't do the Doo

>Well I mean the point of this is using the old show's idea of parodying our society to parody our current society a bit more since the old show is less relevant.

I think some of these guys think the Flintstones was making fun of fifties shit instead of making fun of *what was currently happening* in the real world. That just happened to be the fifties when the Flintstones was made. There's a huge difference.

The Flintstones was exactly this comic, but for a different time.

>I dunno how much meaning can be derived from fighting drunken alien college students with ray guns, but fuck it.

He didn't die to fight punks, he died trying to save a child. That's about as good a death as anyone can ask for honestly.

Nah, this is definitely a lot darker and more cynical.
Maybe we just live in a darker, more cynical world, though.

Im guessing were more open to just how shitty everything is. Dealing with veterans issues in the 50's would be impossible for example. Mocking the concept of "stuff" when in the 50's that was a real cultural driver is another.

>Homo Erectus
Nice, a gay bar.

too real

POWERGOAT

where's the pebbles lewds

'recycle'

>flintstones is literally just the honeymooners with caveman puns
>original flintstones wasn't exactly biting satire but did make fun of modern life occasionally using contrast between caveman life and modern life
it's like you're operating purely on nostalgia and are incapable of objective thought

I came here to have a good time, not to have my soul crushed

That was a good read, user!
Thank you!

Really surprising how enjoyable that was

>Germany in 2016.jpg

well that escalated quickly

AAAAAAAAAAA JOE!

>shoes
>in the flintstones

>you need an angle
>cartoon characters

But what else is in the teaches of Peaches?

Fred clearly sees how wrong it is.
Peaches teaches that you can see him everywhere. In the eyes of your loved ones, in the smiles of children, a beautiful sunset, all that's required is you be completely hammered.

Peaches teaches that Moses supposes his toeses are roses.
BUT!
Moses supposes erroneous-ly.

...

So Peaches leeches his speeches from what jesus teaches?

I can't get over how much Slate looks like Senator Armstrong. Anyways, thanks for the storytime, Dan, I'm gonna have to get the trade!

Joe died a hero, and for that we thank him.

RIP JOE.

>you need an angle, loke cartoon characters, to seel vitamins
This is just too damn good

Look closer.
No chains.

This is fucking great. When is the next issue dropping?

Now that is one qt Wilma.

There's definitely a mechanism on Pebble's bike

Aw, shit. I was just looking at bamm-bamm's.

They drive on the right side?!

Wouldn't mind seeing one of those greenies babes lusting for primitive cock

This is incredible. I am having a fucking blast here.

Also are the other HB comics too? I was hearing about Space Ghost meets Johnny Quest. And Scooby Doo.
Anything else?

Oh jesus how did I not catch that. I even took those things growing up.

This is the greatest.

I can't wait for the trades for this.

Thanks for storytime. I already ordered first 5 issues once someone posted the first one here - it's such an amazing comic, I'd love if the series lasted as long as possible.

Though I'm afraid they'll go and make an Adult Swim cartoon out of this, if it gets too popular - and I'm afraid it'd ruin much of the creativity and freedom the comic has.

That mammoth ain't got shit on Peaches

What is Barney's job?

Probably selling vitamins nowadays.
Watch.
I bet he later starts putting vitamins in cereal and selling it.
Absolute madman

>gusfrava
oh boy

This feels like that Dinosaurs sitcom in comic form way more than Flintstones.

DELETE THIS

>Vitamin pills are a scam
If only our modern world could realize this truth.
youtube.com/watch?v=29v6rNFjlLI

Shoes make sense on the cover since the issue is all about buying shit you don't need.

I I heartily disagree. I feel like this is eons ahead of that 'not the mama' horseshit.

why would you link that faggot

Wacky Races but it got lost in translation a bit.

bump

Because even a faggot is right sometimes?

>mediocre Looney Tunes comics have been in print since June 1994
>best Flintstones media ever will probably be cancelled by the end of next year

It isn't fair.

Didn't call it "The Stone Age" for no reason, user

>Human beings are just walking accumulations of love and regret.

The Flintstones just got too real for me.
