Sully only existed for one episode on TV, but Rodney was a recurring character in the comics for several years. Rodney was unusual in having a kind of history--starting out as a kid and morphing into a beatnik teen later on. He even romanced Ann-Margrock in one story!<br /><br />Piggybacking off of Joe's comment, it's interesting to note that the last season featuring Bea Benadaret as Betty also provided more stories in which Betty was central to the plot--i.e. "Little Bamm-Bamm," "Old Lady Betty," and "Ladies' Night at the Lodge" to name a few. There was a definite difference between Bea's Betty and Gerry's Betty...as a kid, I noticed right away that Betty had a different voice and seemingly a slightly different personality as well.scarecrow33https://www.blogger.com/profile/10552306802823617940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-3424855282651461842014-06-23T20:07:23.045-07:002014-06-23T20:07:23.045-07:00To me, he resembles Sully, Fred and Wilma's bo...To me, he resembles <a href="http://cdn.static.ovimg.com/episode/185169.jpg" rel="nofollow">Sully</a>, Fred and Wilma's boarder from the <i>Rooms for Rent</i> episode.top_cat_jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365510398800837335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-89260741185424329292014-06-23T15:28:31.458-07:002014-06-23T15:28:31.458-07:00Yowp writes:

Once Wilma’s best, and most spirited, friend (who even gave her Judo lessons), now a lifeless <i>“Step-stone-ford Wife”</i>! <br /><br />Men were not immune to this scourge either. Compare the “Partying, Daws Butler (Lippy the Lion / Peter Potamus)-voiced, Joe Rockhead” of <i>“The Baby Sitters”</i> (episode title?) to any version that came later! Joe was most likely taken and replaced several times! <br /><br />Shifting gears, that looks like “Rodney Rocktop” as the drag-racer in the final panel of the final strip! <br /><br />Rodney was an unusual character in the Dell and Gold Key comic books of the early-mid sixties because we first saw him as a BOY… and he grew-up to be a teenager and a beatnik! <br />Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-63798198639298898232014-06-23T10:34:28.834-07:002014-06-23T10:34:28.834-07:00Can't Thank You Enough For Posting These Flint...Can't Thank You Enough For Posting These Flintstones and Yogi Strips.<br />I read them with the voices from TV<br />Best,<br />-Sam<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02253575381581249338noreply@blogger.com
