Gobby, Creepella, Weirdly Gruesome and his pet Grasshopper have been meticulously hand-inked and hand-painted on acetate, and placed against a high quality giclee background..

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:
In this episode, Weirdly and Creepella Gruesome, along with their son Gobby, move into Tombstone Manor which is next door to the Flintstones. Trying to be neighborly, Fred and Barney agree to babysit Gobby, whose strange pets (including Schneider the spidersaurus and Occy the octopus) make for a tortuously eventful evening. Originally the Flintstones were very disturbed by the Gruesomes and their antics, but when Fred and his friend Barney found out that the Gruesomes were the stars of their own reality TV show, they immediately dropped any apprehensions they had about the family and desperately wanted to be featured on their show.
