Mark Russell on New Book

also yes, it's pretty likely Flintstones is ending before September. In the off chance it does continue, who do you think can pick up where Russell will left off?

>suicide squad/ banana splits annual
what?

>>89546698
in March DC is having a Hanna Barbera/DC Annual Crossover.
Future Quest is tying in with Adam Strange and both are actually gonna be in canon with each other.
Space Ghost is teaming up with Hal
Booster Gold is meeting the Flintstones
and yeah the Banana Splits are rescuing the Suicide Squad after being mistaken for metahumans by Waller.

All of them will have short 8 page comics after them too that I assume will be the pilot comics of future Hanna Barbera titles. Speaking of new titles, Ennis is working on Dick and Muttley and their Flying Machines.

>I wanted Snagglepuss, I pitched it. I didn’t expect much to come of it, I pitched it half as a joke, but my editor Marie [Javins] was like, “um, I can’t believe it’s gotten this far, but they want you to write a more developed pitch,” so I wrote that, and she was like, “these are strange times we’re living in, but it looks like it’s a go.” [laughs] They kinda called my bluff, and now I’ve gotta write a Snagglepuss comic. It’s gonna be fun.

One of my favorite feelings in the world is when something that should be awful turns out to be better than it has any right to. Like the Flintstones or Barkley's Shut up and Jam Gaiden.

>At first I was getting all these notes from the licensing people, like, “Fred has to say ‘yabba-dabba-doo’ once an issue,” “you can not discuss any deities,” so I told my editor, this is kinda completely contrary to what I wanted to write, so DC told me not to worry about it, and they would take care of the licensing people. DC has been wonderful about facilitating my vision of the series, for better or for worse. [laughs]

>>89548121
It's crazy really, its like one of those "create your pitchs ideas" threads, truly amazing

>>89547912

>>89548167
Marie Javins has been one of the biggest keys to DC's offbeat shit getting good.

>>89546606
I feel like saying that Snagglepuss is "obviously gay" would be like looking at a monkey with big lips, and eating watermelon and chicken, and saying he's "obviously black".

I'm really bummed about The Flintstones ending, since I don't give a damn about Pink Panther or the concept of the reboot. With Chew also gone, this will leave zero humor books on my pull list and that is very sad.

So I assume Top Cat, whatever Chaykin's writing, Snagglepuss and Jetsons will be the next wave of books. When will Ennis' Dick Dastardly and Muttley come out?

>>89549158
I will happily read a Didio Topcat ongoing

So it's a comic about a gay furry?

Requesting someone replace Iceman with Snagglepuss in that infamous page where Jean Grey turns him gay.

Ha, nope, not buying this, I don't care how special Flintstones was, this just sounds like pure garbage. I'm sure a few people will flock to its defense though. Brand loyalties and all that jazz.

Drooper and Snork are missing their glasses.

Unless we get sex scenes, what's the point of making toon characters ANY sexuality?

>>89552155
Ask any kid what HB is and they won't have a clue, fuck off.

>>89548121
damn, DC really lets this guy do what he wants

>>89546647
Mark Russel and Booster Gold in the same sentence gets my dick hard.

>>89552201

Flintstones handled the marriage issue in a really mature way, without creating any strawmen or demonizing any one side.

Just because most comics politics are awful, doesn't mean it can't be done.

>>89549246
Poor fella. I'd jump the fence and punch in his balloon knot, just once, as a thank you for the HB cartoons that made my early childhood bearable. Just doing an old friend (as) a favor.

>>89552201
Because, despite the narrative in the hugbox, sexuality does inform aspects of many people's behavior. Pretending it only matters when sex is imminent is a bit silly. When the character is a broad joke to begin with, it's even more relevant.

>>89552249
I love how real the Flintstones comic got. Everything from the cartoon was played straight and made sense.

>>89552304
Quiet, you. I'm trying to get some official rule34 out of this gimmick. Now, are these comics gonna be general audience or adult only?

>>89552202
Yes, they will, as long as it the main line HB stuff (Huck, Yogi, Quick Draw, Fred Flintstone), Snaggelpuss is not Dinky Dog.

>>89552336
It would make a great animated series. Maybe if Adult Swim...?

>>89552426
>Quick Draw
I want a crossover with Jonah Hex. NOW.

>>89552336
And could work for Snagglepuss. If the gay bit is handled with the same care.

Nah, but he'd likely be a chill person to hang and work with.

The definition of 'mental disorder' is pretty much, "whatever the psychologists felt like at the time" though, so that doesn't say much.

I think the "they" in this instance refers to whomever at WB is in charge of the Hanna Barbera branding.

Kinda like the Star Wars books having two sets of editors (1 Marvel, 1 Lucasfilms), the Hanna Barbera DC books have to go before someone else outside of DC to be approved to make sure they're not doing anything to hurt the HB brand.

Nah, Snagglepuss' voice is based on Bert Lahr's Cowardly Lion. Paul Lynde did voice Mildew Wolf and some other Hanna-Barbera characters though.
