Inker(s): ?
Colorist(s): Western Publishing Production Shop
Subject Matter
Genres: humorous
Character(s): Izzy Einstone; Sandy Stone; Small Stuff; Rocky Ranger; Flappy the Flapasaurus; Mr. Fizz; Supra-Antelope
First Line: Progress is progressing at an amazing rate in Bedrock…
Synopsis: Kid-inventor Izzy Einstone creates the first “automatic weapon” – a club from which pops a sharp-billed woodpecker, or a boxing glove. Kid-hero Rocky Ranger cries foul. With every kid armed with an automatic weapon, he is essentially “out of the heroic-rescue business”. Izzy encourages Rocky to go into “aerial advertising” – skywriting the names of clients by releasing a big bag of dust from his flying flapasaurus in the shape of letters and words. This works… for a short while.

Colorist(s): Western Publishing Production Shop
Subject Matter
Genres: humorous
Character(s): Fred Flintstone; Barney Rubble; Mr. Slater (Fred and Barney's boss); contest judge
First Line: Lunch hour! Let’s go, Barney!
Synopsis: During their lunch hours at the quarry, Fred and Barney have been chiseling a caricature of their boss Mr. Slater out of stone. The boss is not flattered and orders the sculpture destroyed – until he learns of a televised sculpting contest, and considers the free publicity he and the quarry will get if the boys win.

Disclose Notes: For reasons unknown, the TV character of quarry boss “Mr. Slate” was never used in the Flintstones comics by Western Publishing. Instead, a character who at best only marginally resembled Hanna-Barbera’s design for “Mr. Slate” – and called “Mr. Slater” – was used in the role of Fred’s boss. When Charlton Comics assumed the license to publish The Flintstones in 1970, the same “off” character design was used, but the character was referred to as “Mr. Slate”. The name “Mr. Slate” and the proper character design for the character would not come together until the first issue of The Flintstones published by Marvel Comics in 1977.
