I wondered if anyone took notice. Thanks for the support.

I would also like to point out the continuity dilemma of Mask of the Blue Falcon that basically depicts every other HB franchise (that was basically shown in Laff-A-Lympics) as being fictional. While this may not be favoured, the crossovers that have featured Scooby and other members of the gang have only either been from the Laff-A-Lympics crossover event or from other franchise's own shows (except for when the Speed Buggy team appeared in The New Scooby-Doo Movies (Josie and the Pussycats and Jeannie doesn't count as they are owned by other companies and can never really be referenced to). Scooby-Doo itself has either shown other HB properties as either being possibly fake or being alluded to. (Maybe these are supposed to be considered the Scooby-Doo versions of these characters as in Speed Buggy's case for example (or maybe not, I'm just covering possibilities)).

Here's a list:
 * In The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair, there was a Fred Flintstone float.
 * In The Scarab Lives!, there was a Yogi Bear comic.
 * In The Story Stick, when the gang went to an Indian reservation, there was a bear that strongly resembled Yogi (who at one point acted like a crazed bear like most parodies show him as) and an unnamed Ranger Smith at the end. This could either mean one of two things (all of which may not even be true): 1. The Indian reservation is within Jellystone Park which means the latter is basically next to Coolsville (I'm not sure if the Indian reservation is next to Coolsville itself, but it's probably safe to assume). 2. Jellystone Park is next to the Indian reservation which allows for Yogi to pass freely and for Ranger Smith to work there.
 * In Lights...Camera...Monster, Yogi and Boo-Boo Bear appeared on television screen, and in Chickenstein Lives Freddy Flintstone (from The Flintstone Kids) also appears on a TV. It makes it hard to connect if these really do exist in the same universe because their ages are random (at least for the "guests"). Yogi himself was in a prequel series (albeit in a modern setting) a few years later, if that complicates matters.

There are compromises that can be made such Yogi being a real character who happens have his own TV show and comic. Characters' aging at different rates so they can all be adults in Laff-A-Lympics.

Of course Mask of the Blue Falcon makes it all decidely (and perhaps irrevocably) fake, but evidence suggests that within Scooby-Doo ' s own universe other HB characters' own existence as being real was ambiguous to begin with.
