Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Think of it like a kick scooter. You can walk, sure, but kick scooter is much more fun and faster, and one kick and it will roll for a distance. Flintstone car is the same way, they can stop running and the car can still roll for a distance.
You haven't actually watched the Flintstones then. They aren't sitting in that thing, they are standing upright with nothing to hold them up, so they can't coast at all.
Watch it some more. They are chairs that their feet dangle out the bottom. The angle and drawing in the intro makes it seem like there's no seat. But in other scenes it's clearly there.
Lmao, I know we can barely see him in this pic, but Dino's character design is pure comedy gold.
Hmm you're right, granted the last time i watch flintstone is...25 years ago?
But it still act like a cart and could hold stuff in that case.
They do sit down, run for a bit and then raise their feet. I remember it clearly because I put too much thought into that as a kid. Lol
I’m surprised they didn’t just have an animal doing the running for them.
it's a reflection of 1960s ubiquitous car culture, to Americans in the 1960's, automobiles were thought as the only practical form of transportation
