Wilma Flintstone (née Pebble or Slaghoople; see below) is a fictional character in the television animated series ''The Flintstones''. Wilma is the red-headed wife of caveman Fred Flintstone, daughter of Pearl Slaghoople, and mother of Pebbles Flintstone. Her best friends are her next door neighbors, Betty and Barney Rubble. Wilma's personality is based on that of Alice Kramden, wife of Ralph Kramden on the 1950s television series ''The Honeymooners''. Much like Alice, Wilma plays the strong-willed, level-headed person in her marriage, often criticizing Fred for pursuing his various ill-fated schemes. Wilma is often be the one to bail out Fred when one of his schemes land him in trouble. ==Fictional character biography== While the mid-1980s spin-off series ''The Flintstone Kids'' depicts Wilma as a child, the series seems to be mostly apocryphal due to its presenting Wilma as a childhood friend of Fred and Barney though the original series asserted that they first met as young adults.〔"Bachelor Daze," ''The Flintstones'', season 4〕 Still, the series' depictions that Wilma had younger sisters and an older brother, and that her father ran a prehistoric computer business might be taken as canon. Wilma mentions having a married sister in the sixth season of the original series.〔"The House That Fred Built," ''The Flintstones'', season 6〕 As a young adult, Wilma worked with Betty as cigarette girls/waitresses at a resort. There, they first met and fell in love with their future husbands, Fred and Barney, who were working there as bellhops.〔 Wilma and Fred eventually married, and Wilma became a homemaker, keeping house with such prehistoric aids as a baby elephant vacuum cleaner and pelican washing machine. Wilma is a good cook; one of her specialties is "gravelberry pie," the recipe for which she eventually sold to the "Safestone" supermarket chain.〔"The Gravelberry Pie King," ''The Flintstones'', season 6〕 Wilma also enjoys volunteering for various charitable and women's organizations in Bedrock, shopping, and occasionally getting to meet the celebrities of their world, including Stony Curtis,〔"The Return of Stony Curtis," ''The Flintstones,'' season 6〕 Rock Quarry,〔"The Rock Quarry Story," ''The Flintstones'', season 2〕 and Jimmy Darrock.〔"Surfin' Fred," ''The Flintstones'', season 5〕 In the original series' third season, Wilma becomes pregnant and gives birth to the couple's only child, Pebbles. When Pebbles is a teenager, Wilma gains employment as a reporter for one of Bedrock's newspapers, the ''Daily Granite'' (a spoof of the ''Daily Planet'' of Superman fame), under editor Lou Granite (a parody of ''The Mary Tyler Moore Show's'' Lou Grant). While employed there, Wilma shares various adventures with prehistoric superhero Captain Caveman, who, in a secret identity, also works for the newspaper.〔 Later still, after Pebbles grows up and leaves home, Wilma starts a successful catering business with her neighbor and friend Betty, before becoming a grandmother to Pebbles' twin children, Chip and Roxy.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wilma Flintstone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
