The flintstones comic run from 2016 was hugely anti-capitalist. Highly recommend reading it if you haven't.

There was also other contemporary issues like immigration and job security. Racism as a cause of the immigration of Neanderthals, etc.

I vaguely remember the Flintstones cartoon (or maybe the Jetsons?) having an episode that addressed racism/tolerance as well. Something about "new neighbors moving in" and finding common ground.

Just googled them, and maybe? It's been a while. I remember there being a scene where they were upset about their new neighbors' loud music.

Yeah I think that was part of the Gruesome’s introduction. They were basically The Addam’s Family.

Mark Russell's Wonder Twins series was fantastic, too.

I'm not even big into comics, but his are definitely worth a read.
