I hope they take inspiration from the recent Flintstones Comics, which really delved into modern issues as reflected in the weird Paleolithic pastiche of The Flintstones universe. Like Fred's pals Adam and Steve.

Or this infamous panel.

It's a fantastic satire.

What an odd tone. Is there comedy in between or is it just straight up serious/dramatic the entire time?

It has humor. It does a lot of tongue in-cheek jokes about the politcal/cultural climate of our day, but the best description that I can give of the whole run is that through it all, the one thing it tries to be is earnest. Despite the cynicism, it tries to be optimistic where it can.

I've been reading the series recently and it's been fantastic. Really good satire about everything from capitalism, consumerism to PTSD. Highly recommend.

You should check out the writer's other Hanna Barbara/DC project, "Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles." It's outstanding.

Literally only clicked this thread to see if someone mentioned the comic. Great little series.
