Toons have odd private lives. Especially 1960s toons. In those days, it was apparently okay to show two male characters in a double bed together, because, hey, Yogi and Boo Boo are both guys, so obviously they couldn’t be doing anything. That just doesn’t happen. Fred and Wilma Flintstone, on the other hand, are a happily married couple, so they have to be always shown in separate beds, lest anyone get the idea that marriage somehow includes some kind of icky physical contact!
So…how in the world did they ever conceive Pebbles?
A friend and I discussed this the other night (which shows how much really important stuff we have to talk about) and we concluded that there must be a little mammoth that sucks up Fred’s, um, contribution to the baby-making process in its trunk and carries it across the room to Wilma’s bed.
Eh…it’s a living.
Goodness, the things you ruminate upon. Oh well, Happy New Year and all that. 🙂
They invented everything in the (Flint)Stone Age, including turkey-basters!
