I think the planet is spinning the wrong way.

> Is [The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jetsons_Meet_the_Flintstones) from 1987 considered canonical? It involved time travel, with the Flintstones being in the stone age and the Jetsons from the future.

My saying _The Flintstones at the World’s Fair_ was canonical was a joke. As a special, it’s anything but canonical. Cartoons feel free to violate canon all the time – I’m not convinced you could say “canon” really exists, outside of short-term. (Bob Clampett’s Porky Pig sure wasn’t Chuck Jones’ Porky Pig)

“Jetsons Meet the Flintstones” is a sort of special, too. Even if canon existed, I don’t think it’d be canonical.
