I thought this was going to be about that Scooby-Doo crossover comic that's drawn in scooby style with HB and DC hero crossovers in every issue. That was already too much for me but this realistic take on the HB characters in proper DCU even if likely "non-canon" DCU is odd, yet cool.

I'd take this over the Wrestle Mania crossovers anytime, even if I think Hanna Barbara is not really worth trying to resurrect for a modern audience.
Looking at individual frames without any context...I should really give the Flintstones one a read Spoiler:

That Black Lightning/Hong Kong Phooey solicit text makes me think this is going to be some 70's kung-fu and blaxsploitation mash-up stuff and I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what madness lies down that road.

Apparently, the Hanna Barbara comics they've been putting out the past couple of years have been surprisingly good. I know, I was shocked too. I've been meaning to read most of them. Flintstones is apparently top shelf satire and Future Quest was apparently really good.

Oh yes, I've noticed that going through the individual frames.
And I saw someone suggest that it's something of a post-Vietnam analogue on Know Your Meme Quote:

I forgot about those gritty remakes of Hanna-Barbera characters, they all looked so awful, but they were good?
I also disagree that there's no resurrecting these old properties, they can be just not for an adult audience. It boggles my mind why we haven't gotten a kids CG Flintstones movie, that seems way more appealing and content to work on than say the Smurfs who somehow got 3 movies out of it. |

I think that after how badly the John Goodman movies went, no one wants to try touching it again.

I remember my mom one saying that it was basically the Simpsons of its time.
Which didn't make much sense to me when I heard her say it because it's so squeaky clean in comparison. Which should come from the nature of the time period it was made in, of course. From what I can think of, the most I ever saw of it was a VHS that had an episode or two. And of those, I only remember one where Fred was jealous of Wilma hanging out with her ex-boyfriend for a day. Which of course meant dressing Barney in drag and following her to where they were having dinner.
