Surprise -- Turns out The Flinstones is good

Holy FUCK!!! That wasn't a shit fest.

Of course… now we've jinxed it.

I see what you mean, some of the comedy comes from a more "adult" sense of humor, in the sense that it feels like the prime-time Flintstones show.

The team behind this need improve their time on the jokes and… the art, does not work at all. It's like we're watching something completely different, like a MadTV sketch.

The talk of making extra pebbles makes me realize every survival game is, at it's core, Flintstones.

Shit, if they make a Flintstones survival game where you could just use animals as machines, that would be the best.

This is the best religion.

Alternatively, he could watch the Honeymooners.

Okay, this is winning me over already.

I'm fuckin sold

...

I LIKE IT

Coming soon to the CW…

...

God damn

Surely you mean "a slew of shitty hipster / SJW remakes of beloved classic cartoons are not worth reading"?

I'm more pissed by the fact that they didn't call Scooby Apocalypse "Scooby Doomsday".

DC's all ages comics are usually better than their mainstream stuff, mostly thanks to that sweet freelance talent.

So where's my edgy Banana Splits comic?

...

Betty and Wilma are hot.

The old Marvel Adventures line aimed at kids was pretty fun as well, though I'm not sure if they still do that anymore.

Was pretty good. Definitely more "adult" than the original, but not in the edgy sense.

The Power Pack line was perfect.

How many trades or whatever did they make of that? I might finally get around to picking it all up.

I think each 4 issue mini-series has a trade.

I wanna fug Betty

you might be on to something, what if instead of trying to just kill animals to eat, you can actually tame animals, then by getting the correct components, you can then teach them to do certain tasks, like a monster with a shove like tail thats normally used to beat things to death could either be used as a digging machine to find ores, or even a lumber like animal to cut down trees if you sharpen an edge.

Im worried. If the cars arent moved by the drivers feet, then this is not Flintstones.

I'm not OP, but since he dumped the second issue i thought i'd help out and dump the first. Because… why not, right?

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

There. All done.

...

Only thing I could put up with is that the ox is going the wrong way to make that conveyor belt work.

Please no, the song keeps getting louder in my head, oh god somebody make it stop

Is it?

Well that was decent.

the second cover with the camera is especially meta, it's so adorable, i love it!
were fred and barney war vets in the cartoon too? i thought the water buffalos were a bowling club.

Part of it felt good while the other part of it feels awkward and forced. It doesn't really feel like Flintstones and more like a less obnoxious version of whatever Seth MacFarlene was planning to make or an Adult Swim version of the Flintstones, and imo a more subtle version would've been better than this version which openly and loudly shows the source of the humor. Basically, it feels like Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon. The goat gag did make me chuckle though. More animal/appliance abuse is always appreciated.

This tbh.

Jesus, did the artist not watch the cartoons?

Also, where's everyone's five-o-clock shadow?

Wait, what did he look like in the movie I never watched?

They were probably lazy and didn't want to draw detailed shaved faces.

Surprisingly more accurate to the cartoon than this comic.

Tra la la tra la la la

I know most of us have the same question, and since no one is asking I'll ask: why is Fred so darn handsome?

Chuckle-worthy jokes in the first couple pages. These guys might actually know what they're doing.

Well, I'll be damned.. It is good.

Am I the only one seeing Bruce Campbell?

Because he's Bruce Campbell.

Campbell-mind.

The best mind there is.

But they were a fraternal organization, like the Order of the Elks or The Loyal Order of Moose.

I don't even know, man.

Open yourself to the MOOSEHEART.

Does that make you eligable for Stonecutter privileges, or something?

I'd fuck the shit out of Betty & Wilma.

What part of I don't even know, man don't you get? I have literally no fucking clue what this order is.

Whoops. Must have had a brain problems this morning, yeah it actually does work correctly.

This is now the thread theme.

I'm more concerned about how all the stone is passing underneath the rollers supporting the hamster wheel.

It was decent, but it felt like it was moving too fast and that some jokes started, ceased to exist, and then we finally got the punchline later.

I want to raid the town and capture Betty & Wilda.

… Why you gotta be so REAL, Flintstones?

holy shit those spears

masonry is a bad idea man

You know, I was thinking that this whole time.

I see they go for a very M.A.S.H. or Scrubs approach of comedy throughout and then hit you in the human emotions when you least expect it. The handprints really are portrayed in a touching way, and in a very short and efficient use of words and images.

I might actually start picking this up.

These two comics are actually surprisingly good. Certainly better than some of the other crappier comics that have storytimed (Pasty Walker, Jonesy, Mockingbird)

The handprint segment is actually a pretty nice moment.

Hand prints do actually have a basis in real life Stone Age cave painting/art, possibly as a form of "artist signature."

Slightly off topic. There's also a real life cave somewhere, where a "butt print" was on a wall with other cave art.

The first documented shitposting?

I wasn't expecting decent humor and heavy social commentary from an edgy 2016 Flintstones reboot. Goddamn.

The humor reminds me a lot of the old Dinosaurs show, the one with the Sinclair family.

THE FIRST user

That cheeky bastard

Cue Also Sprach Zarathustra.

You say your heard of Cro-Magnon?

Now are you prepared for . . .

Cro-user!

But the Flinstones and Jetsons existing at the same time theory was soooo interesting!

What if there's gonna be a jetsons comic that touches on that, and their scientists discover a great impending disaster that will wipe out all life on the planet, and by random happenstance the jetsons meet up with the flintstones and they all have to leave the earth before the catastrophe, and the only thing left of the jetsons is strange device full of sprockets sitting in the museum.

shiggy diggy?

This is a great start, but we're steering dangerously close to Wilma being the focus of the story instead of the whole family. She's had flashbacks in both comics now. I'll be just fine with it if it stays that way, kinda like Kyle's "You know, I've learned something today…" gay little speeches at the end of an episode.

These are surprisingly good. I laughed several times, and while it is a major departure from the original art style, I like the art, and expressions. I especially enjoy Wilma, Betty and Pebbles.

I WANT TO FUCK PEBBLES!

Is this a departure from how you felt about Pebbles before, or no?

It's confirmed to be in a past. Not necessarily the past of what we consider to be modern day.

Not gonna lie, I've never been into toddlers, but a teen Pebbles with that straight up but over the eyes hair is doing a number on my dick. It's like she's doubling down on the "innocent but sexy" look.

I greatly prefer nu-teen Pebbles to old-teen Pebbles. That weirdo haircut is like a dick vaporizer.

Je-zus christ.

Tried drawing Pebbles, then tried drawing her from a more interesting angle but I'm shit at perspective.

oh shit nigger

MY DICK HAS ENTERED THE HARD AS STONE AGE

Really good stuff. The second pic especially has a great, subtly lustful expression.

Some laughs, some feels, some good fap material… this is a pretty fully featured thread.

...

90% of the time; a bunch of guys who get together, wear funny hats, do a few silly rituals and mostly just get drunk, eat donuts and complain about their jobs and wives.

Weirdly enough, it's fitting too, given the concept seems basically to be creating mid-20th century American society from scratch, and getting to examine what things are like devoid of context in the process.

They just invented monotheism.

Kinda funny that it pretty much illustrates how animism starts falling away when animals lose their mystery and wonder, but it's easy to believe anything about a god you can't see.

I love how awesome artists are always so humble. You may think you're shit at perspective, but from our perspective, that shit is amazing!

You wanna see shit? Here's my caricature of Ms. Munter:

Good artists become good because they're hard on themselves and want to improve.

Sounds like Far Cry Primal if the tameable beasts had uses outside of combat.

Kinda funny given the official crossover had the Jetsons live in the far future of the Flintstones.

It makes more sense in a cartoon-logic kind of way. Especially given the comic's premise is basically the invention of modern society.

It seems like the writers might actually have done a fair amount of research, or at least trawled Wikipedia articles on early humanity for ideas.

I wonder, are those kids in the museum based on anyone in particular? Feels like a place where you wouldn't wanna miss a chance for a cross-promotion/injoke.

You have shit taste fam if you think this is good

INDEED!
Pretty much any version of Pebbles too. Why is there so little art of her?

I guess I don't think I'm shit at it, it just didn't come out how I imagined. I imagined the perspective even more forced. And I have trouble with it, which doesn't come across in the final image.
Your pic gave me a hearty chuckle. I could tell who it was, even without the text, which is good for caricature.

This is correct. I don't think good artists should ever become complacent. They should always strive to improve.

I don't know, but I come to add more.

OH MY! John Byrne approves!

...

Das it mane.

Given the fact that it's a remake of a 60s show that was a mock-up of (at the time) modern life, I think the social commentary, occasional bit of heavy musing, and heartfelt message are all quite fitting.

If they just tried to directly copy the vague idea of what people think the Flintstones was, then this would suck. But I'd actually say this captures they real spirit of the Flintstones and it's tongue-in-cheek mockery of other TV shows and society of its time.

Yeah, pretty much. Besides, the original cartoon was pretty bland by modern standards and ran long enough to pretty much do everything to death.

One thing that's kind of weird, looking back on it, is that when I was a kid, I learned the concept of suicide from The Flintstones. I remember one episode where Fred stops a guy from killing himself by jumping off a bridge, and in turn the guy offers to become his servant. I think the guy turned out to be a nuisance, so Fred tries to fake his suicide to get even.

I hope The Gruesomes make an appearance in this.

...

I rarely post, but loli Pebbles enticed me to action.
now, if I could just figure out what kind of prehistoric creature would make a good vibrator…

Where can your art be found, oh great drawfag?

rattlesnack.

This

hummingbird

Ok, I'll give them that one, that actually made me laugh.

>and a local board artist posting good R34 of it to boot.

Dear diary, today I didn't even have use my AK.

Keep the art comin', user, they're all going into the booru.

you'd tape the humming birds to the nipples.

Bees stuffed in a long snail shell?

The water buffaloes was just a gentleman's club but real life a lot of those were originally veteran clubs that later expanded their membership.

He still looks like a pissed off manlet what is the problem?

Is there any Flinstones watching guide?

What stuff should I watch?

you mean there's more than just the regular old show?

But do I have to watch the entire six seasons?

The first three seasons are great, then it goes down hill a bit once Pebbles is born, but it's still good. The last season is when they introduce The Great Gazoo, an alien that likes messing with Fred, and it gets kind of stupid. Luckily it ended before it reached Simpsons territory.

There were some spin off shows in the 70s and 80s, as well as some TV movies and specials, but I probably wouldn't bother with them. They were all kind of bland and forgettable. Just stick with the original show.

I'd probably follow that up with the first season of The Jetsons, but only the first season from the 60s. They did a second season in the 80s, but much like the later Flintstones stuff, it was just bland and unfunny.

Rattlesnake it is!

For porn, I have a tumblr, but it is almost exclusively filled with degeneracy usually humanized mlp horsecock futa, last thing I did for it was a full color multipart futa urethra-fucking/oviposition set. Told you it was degeneracy. Simple loli is almost a breath of fresh air.

which booru?

not entirely happy with this new pic, I'm sure there's a number of anatomy issues. And I'm not sure how clear it is the rattlesnake tail is vibrating.

Oh, trust me… it's clear. Glad you can come here for that 'fresh air'

...

...

bee humming bird vibrating nipple clips

FUCK YES!

Thanks for the information.

There are some spin off shows such as one about pebbles when she moves out of the house after college or is going to college. I don't really recall, I got sick during a marathon boomerang ran years back of all things Flintstones.

the comics had some good reaction pics.

And wank material, apparently.

I don't usually like loli, but this really fucking hot

God damn, of course the pony artist is really good at drawing porn. Do you actually like the show or do people just pay you to draw… full color multipart futa urethra-fucking/oviposition sets?

So hey, along with rattlesnakes, dishwashers make great sextoys too!

I do like the show, but I normally keep it to myself because pony fans are retarded. I mostly appreciate the art/animation involved in show, and the porn.
I rarely do commissions they're tedious and I don't need the money; that full color multipart futa urethra-fucking/oviposition set was all my own degeneracy.

I'm going to assume this is how the dishwasher lost a tentacle.

this is making me very uncomfortable

Damn that is pretty good man, I am glad I found this thread

fuck

baphomet, bless my cock

...

good read OP thansk for posting

good work porn artist, thanks for posting

Ooh, they already invented hentai

Look closer, they are rifle-shaped slingshots

I'm glad you survived, Flintstones thread. At the very least, so other anons can be sure to save all that delicious porn.

Because they are going for a realistic art style, and they needed Fred to look like a bulky, barrel-shaped caveman. The Kentlike square jaw is just a bonus.

If you notice very few men in these primitive times arent built like a tank, and I actually like they went this direction, idunno. Its a fresher interpretation, if anything.

uuuggh

I wish to know where I can see said degeneracy

Other than the usual reasons, you know that they limit image resolutions to 1280x1280 and have a shit tagging system and not being able to separate personal art and reblogs when you follow them?

Does fit, given he works at a quarry and is a war veteran. He always was a pretty imposing figure compared to everyone but full on strongmen. Hell, the movie had him be a dead ringer for the setting equivalent of James Bond, who had ladies all over him.

The movie went for him being a fat slob instead, but this version seems to fit the comic style much better.

(talking about the animated TV movie in the first case, the 90s live action movie in the second)

I'm not him, but he goes by highwaytotartarus. I found his art by searching "oviposition" on derpibooru and it was the first good art I could see.

Oh Internet, when will you stop being so creepily effective?

Yeah, I know tumblr is a shitty site for uploading art, but that's where everyone (mlp porn artists) was uploading to, so that's where I upload, as well as Hentai Foundry, and pixiv for stuff I can't upload on tumblr or HF.

see
Highwaytotartarus is indeed my tumblr. I didn't want to advertise it because I didn't want to look like I was shilling myself or trying to take over the thread

fuck off

Not much of a thread to take over, until the next issue comes out. Keep up the lewd work.

Here we go…

THE FLINTSTONES #3!

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

There you have it.

heh

Man really never changes huh?

Read the first two d I got a chuckle once or twice. Third was a bit meh, but it looks like they are still setting up ground work.

Guys, I don't know, but I think I kind of really like this comic. I wasn't expecting all the dark humor in issue three, but it made me chuckle.

I really wasn't expecting them to bring in the Great Gazoo so soon.

Looks like a pretty different take on him.

And hey, it wouldn't be cartoon ancient history without aliens fucking around with people.

I don't, this is really too dark for Flintstones, I like the previous issues' tone better.

Why is she so perfect, Holla Forums?

Well shit. I can never look at anything in Flintstones the same way again.

Thank god, I was worried for a second.

Wonderful, just like the show.

And they said I wouldn't get any tail.

...

I could work in her quarry any day. Thank you user.

DEEPEST LORE

I like how jacked and manly everyone is.

Anymore yet?

Gotta wait another month, since the latest issue only just came out yesterday.

It's not so bad so far. I am worried though that it will eventually forget it is supposed to mostly be a funny show about cavemen, and everyone will lose interest

…also, I can remember a very well done Star Trek / Flintstones crossover called Stone Trek, from back in the day. Wonder if there's any more been done on that?

Fucking Major Tom, I love this comic more and more with each passing issue.

Personally I like it. For subject matter like this, I prefer the dark humor take on it. It's also been an actual build up to this. The first issue was mostly light with some darker stuff in, the second a little moreso, the third is almost pure dark humor and it works really well.

Really a shame that all the major sites like Newsarama fucking hate it both because NOT MUH and because they're literally too stupid to actually get the satire (I mean it; the Newsarama reviewer outright said he didn't understand what exactly was supposed to be satirized with Joe in this issue).

Archive and link it mate, I need a good laugh before bed

what exactly was satirized with joe?

That doesn't really surprise me. I haven't been to that site in like 5 years, and I remember them being absolute garbage then.

Much like video game critics, comic reviewers generally have no idea how to review things. Instead of looking at the actual quality of something, it's always about how they "felt" about it and their emotional reactions. For instance, they'll call a book's writing bad if it offended them, but they rarely talk about writing from a technical standpoint, like if a story has poor pacing.

Well the stuff with the royal order of the water buffalo is a pretty clear shot at situations when soldiers return from war (Vietnam being the most famous example) and end up homeless, suicidal, and spit upon.

The writing the art and the humor are all surprisingly really good, I like it.

It's satirizing the way we act like veterans are heroes and then toss them away unceremoniously.

Silly idea, but what if that caveman is the caveman Scooby Doo and the gang find in one of their mysteries?

The TV movies about Bang Bang and Pebbles marrying and having children was nice in my opinion.

This one panel is better than practically everything Marvel has put out in the past few years.

Tell my wife I love her.

She knows

...

No. They did it for SCIENCE!

Uh okay, i thought that this was a reference to some obscure american show and not more general thing.
I have never heard about vets being treated like shit in my country. Yeah they want more money but so does everyone

You live in a country where returned servicemen aren't marginalised, neglected, and called babykillers?
You mustn't of had a vibrant 60's counterculture fuelled by Soviet fifth column agents provocateur.

Well, at least Joe got what he wanted

There's something oddly TF2 about these comics.

…now picturing Stone Fortress 2. Oh Ralph it writes itself.

It's mostly an American thing, but popular in any country where social safety nets are considered a sin against the capitalist God but they glorify war so they can get idiots to die for profits.

Look up "VA scandal" on any search engine for a small glimpse of how bad it is for US servicemen who have need of health care after their service.

Simply being shot takes years and years of physical therapy to recover from, and you're almost never back to 100% after it.

New issue was good. Have some more stoneage loli. forgot to spoiler, deleted post, fucking flood detection

Jesus christ!

YABBA DABBA DOO!

user, those pics are illegal in 33% of the world doing gods work can you do something with a raptor?

33% of the world can fuck off, lolis are gods gift to the world.
sorry, no raptor, already working on something else

...

My brother couldn't get the VA to process a simple change in address.

That fucking sucks. I think it's one of those things that most people don't like to think about though. I've had a few friends go off to fight, and I know it takes a toll on them even if they don't get injured physically.

Luckily for him his old address was our parents and he was near enough to pick it up when it came, but it took him months to get them to fix it.

One thing you have to understand is in the U.S. there has always been a real schism about the military. The right sees them as being heroes in general, and while they do help some it's mostly in the form of charity work like food drives and the like. The left on the other hand demonizes the military vehemently, during the 1960's college liberals even got the military kicked off the Harvard campus. If you are part of the military, you can't attend harvard. It was at it's worst after Vietnam though, soldiers returning were treated horribly. Sage for off topic

eh beggars cant be choosers

she's in the process of being brainwashed by the school system

Wubba Lubba dub-dub

They kinda deserve it, tbh.

Piss off hippie.

If you spell YABBA-DABBA-DOO™ in the NES game, you gain an extra life
DEEPEST ORE

That's because that has been the exact tune "modern" art has been playing for nearly a century. Art schools are no longer about aesthethics, quality of craft or execution in delivering a message. It's always about "how do you feel about this piece?", which is one of the main causes of the shitshow that is the modern art world

Fuck off back to Tumblr, leftist scum.

You are getting baited m8.

fucking fantastic

I wasn't ready for these feelings
