It is hard to believe in today's world but the Flintstones were used in ads for beer and cigarettes. That's right, those fine folks from the town of Bedrock were lighting up and shilling for Winston. In fact, Winston Cigarettes was the sponsor for The Flintstones in their first season (1960.) Aside from everything that is wrong with smoking, my favorite part of this commercial is the fact that Fred and Barney hide behind the house so that they do not have to see their wives doing the yard work. This part strangely mirrors my own life. If you want additional information about the beer commercial for Busch beer, got to this site.

Fred and Barney
Our newest resident of HB Town is Mike Cho, a Canadian artist who lives just down from Scott Chantler on Speedbuggy Drive. Mike drew Fred and Barney as well as a couple of the houses from HB's Bedrock suburb for me at the Toronto Comicon earlier this year. Mike can also be found here at his website.
