It was also a good day for cartoon buffs to be born, too.

He loved those little noses. Compare the drawing of the head of the woman on the left to Snow White in <i>Snow White Bear</i>.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-52698755460441963752010-08-26T12:39:37.825-07:002010-08-26T12:39:37.825-07:00For a minute there, I thought these looked more li...For a minute there, I thought these looked more like Dick Bickenbach's drawings. Anyhow, these show that Barbera was quite a talented fellow himself and that he could actually draw well. <br /><br />Is it true that Bill Hanna couldn't draw at all? I know he wasn't necessarily an artist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-30511598963207717202010-08-26T01:34:55.564-07:002010-08-26T01:34:55.564-07:00What intrigued me, Mark, and I was going to touch ...What intrigued me, Mark, and I was going to touch on this in a post next month, is Barbera blew off all the ads about "adult" as just publicity, ie. BS. <br />The take I'm getting is the reviewer viewed 'The Flintstones' as a standard sitcom with a gimmick; a show any child could understand, whereas Huck and Quick Draw featured light satires on the banality of popular TV genres (and Foster worked in a commentary about television itself on occasion) with some dialogue aimed more at parents watching.Yowphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264605351878574044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-32336443034814135602010-08-25T19:01:54.187-07:002010-08-25T19:01:54.187-07:00Love the music clips.

Even more confusing is Joe Barbera's reply to him, "I know exactly what you mean. You don't consider it 'adult'." So...does that mean that Mr. Park found Huck and Quick Draw to be more "adult" than the Flintstones? I doubt that. Can anyone explain this?MARK CHRISTIANSENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07313957747157833979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-1311026493525854862010-08-25T08:42:45.244-07:002010-08-25T08:42:45.244-07:00Great post.

Maybe the partner he speaks of is Bickenbach 'cause that isn't Hanna's story either.Kevin Langleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07623675845502307848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-82399146386679032172010-08-25T08:04:54.779-07:002010-08-25T08:04:54.779-07:00It's interesting that while the story came out...It's interesting that while the story came out in early 1961, Joe's drawings already are displaying a little more of the design style you'd see in the Hanna-Barbera cartoons starting later that year and continuing on through the mid-60s (mom bears a little resemblence to Wilma in Panel 1, but the other panels look more like the more streamlined designs that would show up in the ensuing seasons of "The Flintstones" along with "Top Cat", "The Jetsons" and the H-B New Cartoon Show and "Magilla Gorilla" than the designs that the studio had been using in the Huck and Quick Draw shows or in Season 1 of "The Flintstones").J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-57139412158183175902010-08-25T07:13:53.097-07:002010-08-25T07:13:53.097-07:00Great article.

Makes you wonder what would have happened if Joe had pursued banking, or writing for the " legitimate " theater. I had read that Daws was very interested in commercial art before going the direction he did. How different things might have been.Errolnoreply@blogger.com
