Flintstones Daily Strips, November 1961 Part 1

We’re back with another month of daily newspaper comics starring Fred Flintstone. Pebbles hadn’t been invented yet, so the strips revolve around Fred and Barney or Fred and Wilma.

I’m afraid there’s no Dino and no Baby Puss this month.

Gene Hazelton came up with some great creatures. Check out the dinosaurs in the November 10th comic and the triceratops in the 15th. And on the 4th we get the familiar record-playing bird.

Shouldn’t Orville O. Orbit be in a Jetsons comic? (Yeah, I know. There was no Jetsons comic strip and no Jetsons in 1961).

  1. Is Orville O. Orbit an ancestor of "The Jetsons"' Henry Orbit? LOL!

    1. Why not?
      Actually, it's a real stretch for a pun, isn't it?

    2. The joke would certainly have worked better in a Jetsons comic.

  2. Great part of these materials was drawn by the legendary Gene Hazelton, minus the Flintstones daily strips from November 1st, 4 and 5, 1961, which were drawn by another legend: Harvey Eisenberg (the Carl Barks from Hanna-Barbera).

    1. Harvey Eisenberg also drew the Flintstones daily strip from November 15, 1961.

  3. I wonder if you have Huck Hound's credits that contain Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks. I also wonder where you get restored Quickdraw and P&D prints. Hopefully I'm not asking too much (This anon is the same 'Boomerang' anon)
