It's usually said that the Flintstones and the Rubbles are based on the Kramdens and the Nortons from The Honeymooners. I've never cared for The Honeymooners, but love The Flintstones.

I wonder if the Jetsons were also intended for a more adult audience.

It was. It was allegedly based on the comic strip "Blondie".

I find it interesting that the main focus of "Blondie" isn't Blondie, but her husband Dagwood.

Originally, Blondie was the focus. She was a flapper (it was the 1920s) and Dagwood was one of her many suitors. He came from a wealthy family who disapproved of Blondie, so when they married, he was disinherited and had to go work for Mr. Dithers.

I find it weird that Blondie and Dagwood's kids are exact duplicates of the two of them.

It's also weird that Dagwood and his son Alex look so much alike despite their age gap.

It would be weirder if Alexander looked like Blondie and Cookie looked like Dagwood. Originally, Alexander was always called "Baby Dumpling", which worked for a few years. He and Cookie aged at a somewhat normal rate for a while, but they've been teenagers since about the late '50s or early '60s.

Most comic strip characters do.
One exception to the rule is "Gasoline Alley". Walt Wallet has appeared regularly since it began in 1918 and is now allegedly 114 years old.

Both Gasoline Alley and Blondie are among the 10 longest Running Strips

For a while, Blondie was drawn by the late, great Stan Drake, who also drew Juliet Jones.

Devil Dogs! Another great American food.
It's funny, I came across a few jokes that American cuisine fries everything. It's the same thing with Filipino cuisine!
Maybe we shared each other's bad habits. Belly bump!

I wouldn't say it fries everything. There is s large amount of traditional Southern American cuisine that is barbecued. The rest is fried.

thanksgiving turkey isn't fried either. In fact, before I read that joke online I didn't think American cuisine had a much higher proportion of fried food than any other cuisine.

I wouldn't be too sure about Thanksgiving turkey.

Oh, God, Paula Deen is such a waste of flesh. Even before she was outed as a racist, I couldn't stand her and her insanely unhealthy recipes. As my previous posts show, I'm not much for healthy eating (though I often exaggerate), but one has to draw the line somewhere!

I think healthy gurus would do to remember that not everyone has the time, money or inclination to buy ridiculously rare and expensive ingredients.

True enough, but Paula Deen was the exact opposite. I think she had a recipe for deep-fried butter or some such.

Perhaps she has a sibling who runs a detox center Or she has access to free liposuction.

That's absurd. Wouldn't the butter melt before it could be completely fried? Then again, she was no Rhodes scholar.

If she had such access, she didn't use it. I'm not sure about the deep-fried butter, but I vaguely remember hearing about it.
