Here is the original art for the classic "The Flintstones" Daily Comic Strip, dated January 22nd, 1986. This vintage daily is written and drawn by Gene Hazelton.

The artwork is in excellent condition, and is ALL original, with no corrections or word balloon paste-ups. An amusing gag, beautifully rendered with crisp artwork by Gene Hazelton, perfectly capturing the style of the television series. A nice big piece, perfect for display, the image area of the art measures 18" x 6.5" inches on standard art board.

Gene Hazelton (3/6/1919 - 6/4/2005, USA)
Gene Hazelton was an animator and artist of newspaper comics.
He was eventually assigned by Hanna-Barbera to oversee the creation of the comic strips based on 'The Flintstones' and 'Yogi Bear'. He was the head artist of the newspaper comics from 1961 to the early 1980s, often assisted by artists like Roger Armstong, Dale Hale, Harvey Eisenberg and Jesse Marsh.

During this period, Hazelton also cooperated on Hanna-Barbera's animation productions, such as the creation of 'The Jetsons'. He created Pebbles and later Bamm Bamm for the Flintstones TV show. Bamm Bamm was modeled after his real life son, Wes.
