I was comic-cuttin’ crazy in that halcyon year, spending hours trimming strips out of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Globe-Democrat. In retrospect, my time would have been better spent in drawing my own cartoons! I couldn’t see ahead to this bloggin’ era we live in now, so all my strip cuttings have use now as visual backstops for other blogs. Make sure you click “Yowp” on the blogroll over to the right, and you will see the 1/2 page versions of these strips in black and white. Our family loved the Flintstones when they first aired in 1960. My Grandma Vera laughed at the way Fred WALKED! I have no idea who drew these particular pages, not Harvey Eisenberg anyway. I didn’t save as many of these pages as Yogi Bear, perhaps the Globe-Democrat dropped the strip after only a few years. You’ll find that most comic strips that were TV or radio centered only lasted about as long as the heyday of the show from which they were derived. I’m enjoying doing more posts, for now. Just click on the thumbnails to see them larger.
