Fred just wants to make Wilma happy and he thinks the best way to do so is by getting all the different articles that are appearing but he will suddenly realize they not be as necessary as he expected.
Social commentary done right once again people!
Mark Russell brings a new chapter where he focuses on a theme that is pretty common for people of any era: Consumerism. This is actually pretty accurate since the original Flintstones cartoon already had a recurring theme about consumerism which is noticeable from the multiple creatures they used as modern products. This is preserved here with the whole city getting overwhelmed by all the new trends and Fred becoming the main point of view about how that affect people in a quite logical and understandable manner.
Not only that but the writer also manages to include a few other concepts like religion and how it can be easily manipulated by people who want to have control over others and how people react to it. Solid stuff.
Steve Pugh remains in art duties and his work is still quite good looking with expressive characters and creative designs for all the creatures who appear here.
Pretty enjoyable. Still the best Hanna Barbera book by far.
