Pebbles Flintstone (also known as Pebbles Flintstone-Rubble as an adult) is a fictional character, the red-haired daughter of Fred and Wilma Flintstone. She is most famous in her infant form on the long-running animated TV show The Flintstones, but has also appeared at various other ages, including as a teenager on the early 1970s spinoff The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show and as an adult in two made-for-television movies.
Pebbles dwelled in the fictional prehistoric city of Bedrock, a world where dinosaurs coexisted with cavepeople and the cavepeople enjoyed "primitive" versions of modern conveniences such as telephones, automobiles and washing machines.
Biography
Pebbles was born at the Bedrock Rockapedic Hospital on February 22, 10,000 B.C. (according to the series' producers, though that particular year was never actually cited within the show itself; most versions of the show put the Flintstones' era as circa 1,000,000 B.C.).
While an infant, the Flintstones' next-door neighbors the Rubbles adopted the super-strength possessing infant Bamm-Bamm; Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm quickly became lifelong best friends.
As a pre-teen, Pebbles was an excellent baseball player, which of course led to a misadventure involving her father Fred (as seen in the primetime special Flintstones' Little Big League).
By the time she was a teenager, Pebbles was noted for getting her cohort Bamm-Bamm and their friends, Wiggy, Moonrock and Penny, into various misadventures, mostly due to sharing her father's penchant for schemes that would inevitably backfire (such as causing a strike by Bedrock's city employees when she was elected honorary mayor for a week). She and her friends attended Bedrock High School.
As an adult, Pebbles pursued a career in advertising and married Bamm-Bamm. After this, the newly-married couple moved to Hollyrock (a fictional prehistoric version of Hollywood, California), where she eventually gave birth to twins, a girl named Roxy and a boy named Chip.
Trivia
- Pebbles was referred to in the Simpsons episode "Lady Bouvier's Lover," where Mr. Burns, on a visit to the Simpsons household, mistakenly believes Maggie to be Pebbles.
