Hi.
I thought you all might be interested in this one. I found a very old Flintstones Little Golden book in a bunch of childrens books that were given to my kids a couple years ago. When browsing through it's pages I was amazed to find in place of Pebbles there appeared a little boy called junior and Dino was named Harvey! The book was made by Hanna Barbera and obviosly was an early precursor to the Flintstones TV series but I'd love to be able to verify all this somehow. The only hint of it's age is a Copyright 1962 notice in the front and that it was printed in Sydney. I'm not sure when the actual TV series was produced. Here are a couple of images from the book.
If anyone can find out anything please post.
Cheers
D.K

telling you where to go...
you might want to toss it over to
Cartoon Brew. They are interested
in the history of animation, and a
great website.

Interesting to see Him of Those Big Feet with a very old-fashioned red nose.
This is an old toon cliche from what.... the 1930s? more likely, the Victorian era?
They must have cleaned him up for the kids in the audience, because a red nose is a symptom of alcoholism. (It weakens blood vessels on the skin.)
(Sorry, I've got to get a grip on this historian thing I do)
