Mr. Slate

Flint-stoooooooooone!!! „

~ Mr. Slate's famous catchphrase (shouting Fred Flintstone's name).

Mr. Slate is Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble's argumentative and hot-tempered boss at the quarry and a supporting character from The Flinstones. Although he is not a villain, he just bosses Fred and Barney around. Slate is extremely cheap, penurious, tightfisted, materialistic, and competitive, so he cares about money. Slate is also power-hungry and manipulative. He threatened to fire Fred and Barney a million times, but he always re-hires them. The only reason is, no one run the bronto crane like Fred and Barney. That's the only way Slate makes a lot of money is the bronto cranes.

Mr. Slate was born in Granite Town and lived at 140 Boulder Avenue. Right next door at 142 Boulder Avenue is his sister Flo Slate Rubble, mother of Barney Rubble.

He was voiced by the late John Stephenson (who would later voice Thundercracker in the original Transformers TV show).
