Okay, this could work for an explanation of anthropomorphic animals. Let's say that Earth-HB and its solar system passed through a mutagenic cosmic cloud early in its evolutionary history. The cosmic cloud had some unexpected side effects, and its biochemical residue enabled rapid evolution in some animal species. Like Kaiser's "Earth-Green" in the thread above, the Chicxulub meteorite that obliterated the dinosaurs on our Earth could also have been somewhat smaller here, resulting in the survival of some species of saurian until at least the neolithic era, also enhancing the intelligence of Cro-Magnon humans temporarily so they achieved a technological standard roughly equivalent to the twentieth century back then, thus explaining Bedrock, the Flintstones and Captain Caveman. The residue's effects lasted thousands of years, until the present day, thus explaining the existence of various species of anthropomorphic animals alongside human beings. Whether or not the anthropomorphic animals might or might not have civil rights could be an interesting question. O-kay, so that would mean that the annoying Herbie the Fantastic Four robot, the green-skinned Bat-Mite, Gleep and other aspects of that era were all canonic as well? Interesting these details about the evolutionary aspects of anthropomorphic animals and other beings such as the robot H.E.R.B.I.E. the green-skinned Bat-Mite and Gleep I think can yield very fascinating themes for fanfics.

The effects of the mutagene are so diluted by the 20th century, that only a few animals are actually anthropomorphic. Since they appear in such small numbers, I doubt they get more than token legal consideration
Oh yes ! True, I had forgotten these details that H.E.R.B.I.E. and Bat-Mite had not been originally created by Hanna-Barbera.

The Scooby-Doo and Batman Mysteries #6 (November 2021) says that the "Pup Named Scooby-Doo"-era gang learnt from Harvey Harris the same time Bruce Wayne did as Robin. This would fit with the gang being 16-17 years old in 1969, and Batman being 20-21.

One thing that came to my mind is that they could also be on this list: Thundarr the Barbarian , Galtar and the Golden Lance (think of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe played by a young teenager barbarian fighting with Tormack, the tyrannical usurper of the kingdom of Bandisar who is conquering their entire world. Tormack is responsible for the death of both Galtar's parents and assassinating the rest of Goleeta and Zorn's family. Tormack covets the power of the Golden Lance, wishing to combine it with the Sacred Shield, which rightfully belongs to Goleeta and Zorn. Whoever holds both becomes invincible. The Golden Lance normally exists as a short staff. However, when Galtar holds it above his head with both hands, it extends two mystical blades, one on each side, and can then be divided into two swords for dueling. The enchantment that empowers the Golden Lance also protects it by releasing energy from its hilt [called the "Fury of the Golden Lance"] when held by an unworthy wie leader and ready, this would be the story of Galtar and the Golden Lance), SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron , Wildfire (think "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Chronicles of Narnia" in which the main protagonist is a big stallion red-maned like fire and a fated girl to become nothing less than the Queen of an extradimensional magical world parallel to Earth called Dar-Shan and this is the plot of Wildfire), Samurai Jack , Primal among other series that would be fantastic as themes of adventures of an Earth Hanna-Barbera.

The Drac Pack (imagine a group of teenage hero monsters in the same style as "The Creature Commandos" led by a centuries-old recluse Count Vlad Dracula a long time sorry for his existence of mortal sins and seeking redemption for the evils of your eternal non-life who managed, together with the greats The Powers That Be Above, to give special supernatural powers of a sacred nature to a group of monster teenagers gathered to redeem the past evil deeds of him and other legendary monsters like the Werewolf the Frankenstein Monster and The Demon Sleepwalker. Formed by Drak Jr. a Teenage Boy Vampire Daywalker supernatural mystical scythe against the forces of darkness in the same style as Blade from Marvel Comics, Howler a Teenage Werewolf capable of transforming into his bestial form when he desires without needing the Full Moon in the sky and who controls his inner beast , Frankstronger a Teenage Young Boy version of Frankenstein's Monster the army of a unique monster of The Drac Pack and "war tank monster" that replaces parts of its body with heavy weaponry , Menhet a teenage egyptian girl demon cat sleepwalking similar to a much more animalistic version of " Felicia " from the video game " Darkstalkers " owner of powers that allow her to steal the vital breath from the souls of mortals that she can obviously control and suppress only using them as a last resort Beyond of transmorphic abilities to assume a "human feline" form ["ThunderCats" style] and a "giant feline beast monster female form" and The Wicca a witch of light belonging to a millenary lineage of female white sorceresses who joined the group of young monsters for sympathizing with their pure motivation and who grants the power of white magic to the Drac Pack . Together they fight the evil Doctor Dread and his evil organization O.G.R.E. short for "The Organization of Grotesque Radicalities Extranormalities" and its demonic members formed by new, much more powerful versions of monsters like Bullywug an amphibious abomination similar to but much deadlier than Toad of The Brotherhood of Mutants of the Marvel Comics Universe , The Dark Ocean Aberration a deadlier version of the Black Lagoon Monster from the depths of the oceans ,The Humanoid Glob a shapeshifter ectoplasmic abomination capable of absorbing living beings similar to a sapient version of the monstrosity from the movie "The Blob", The Pharaoh Mummy the muscles of the O.G.R.E. in the form of a cursed and super powerful mummy giant of a pharaoh of egypt , The Human Fly an insectoid winged abomination similar to the creature from the movie " The Fly " , The Hag a monstrous witch demonic practitioner of the obscure arts of dark magic that proves the O.G.R.E. with mystical powers, and Vampira a demonic woman vampire daywalker which would be the exact opposite of Blade of the Marvel Comics being for evil everything that Drak Jr. it would be for the good The Doctor Dread and The O.G.R.E. and the members of the Drac Pack fight a relentless battle in which the teenage monsters of good using their powers of benign creatures of the night bestowed on them by Count Vlad Dracula with the consent of the greats The Powers That Be Above who acts as the group's mentor to bring light to the darkness)

George Jetson was born just recently. His birthday is listed as July 31, 2022!

So, logically that means that his boss, Mr Spacely is probably a teenager or in his early twenties by now?
I think we might as well call this "Earth-H" if the designation isn't already taken?

It would be funny to see an early Mr. Spacely like one of those young pioneers in Silicon Valley. Maybe he was one of the guys tht took the planet from our type of world to the one the Jetsons in which the Jetsons live.

And why are the Jetson buildings so elevated? Climate change? Runaway surface pollution?

Well, with a flying car that can easily land on your balcony, why not make taller buildings? Maybe Earth is almost uninhabitable outside the cities, and it is very difficult to expand horizontally, so they keep making the buildings taller?

I'd always imagined it was pollution. Or it could be a status thing. The more affluent you are, the higher you go. The flying cars probablly changed a lot of things about society.

Well placed ! I think probably George Jetson's boss is really a adolescent and who is taking his first steps to found his company ! And Earth-H sounds great to me to designate the Earth of Hanna-Barbera's superheroes!

Probably he would be really starskyhutch76 I wonder, what could have been the beginning of Mr. Spacely and how he would have contributed to making George Jetson's futuristic world the way it is.

I think it would probably be due to climate change and global warming that led to the melting of the polar ice caps and the flooding of continents that led humanity to build anti-gravity cities built far above the earth's surface.
