I wasn't going to buy this anyway, but it's a little too "high concept" for me to see lasting. Folks who want to read The Flintstones are interested in Fred and Barney being bumblers and how the prehistoric world mirrors the modern world, not some morality tale about dinosaurs (now granted sentience, it seems) protesting their lot in the world.

Jesusrock Christstone, this is stupid!
Is that Fred, or "Ronald Reaganrock"?
TO DC Comics and their idiotic 'postmodern deconstructionist BS', I quote Mr. Flintstone:
"Get out. Out. OUT...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!!!!!!!!"

I agree. This is isn't the Flintstones. Wow. This sounds more like that old Dinosaurs TV show. |

Bleeding Cool is more rumor and less fact IMO, which is why I don't read it and get the two confused in my mind.
In some way, 50 years after the original, I suppose the supporting cast of dinosaurs and their subservient jobs as equipment, household appliances, etc will be addressed. Might be interesting but I highly doubt that the basis of the entire series.
I'm not buying it, but it could be interesting.

I've talked to couple of friends that I know about this comic and they said to me - Don't even attempt to buy it nor read it. That's what they said to me word for word.

It could just be the animals that were already sentient; all those "It's a living." deadpanners. |

The art will be fabulous. Now if the story is good, I don't care if it's true to some old cartoons or not.

He was basically a dog and never said a word, but there were others that had evolved to have speech and higher brain functions? |

The dinosaurs who talked in the old Flinstones were all machine substitutes (dishwashing dinosaur, ticket punching dinosaur, etc) who broke the fourth wall to complain about their lot, Rodney Dangerfield-like; they never interacted with other characters. (Still not interested by this book, though). |

There is a long-running history of anthropomorphic animals interacting with non-anthropomorphic animals in cartoons. |

We'll see, it could be interesting if done right.

I finally read the first issue & actually enjoyed it. Better than I thought it would be.

I can see how the concept would be funny, but it's a slippery slope when you're being satirical and deconstructionist with all-age/kids cartoons. I'm sure someone could do a really good adult Sesame Street adaptation with the cast of The Wire...but should they? (Yes, they should, but I'd still feel bad for wanting to watch it...)
