Flint Stones in the Nascent Circus

By George Pritchard Harris ’73

Published Jan. 27, 2016

The early 1970s are captured through the four characters in the Flint Stones series, who are again on the precipice. History, philosophy, and religion are dressed down, and humor rules the day. No icon is left unexamined — Nixon, Vietnam, drugs, free love, the Grateful Dead, even Princeton University.
