Mr. Slate

Mr. Slate is a character in The Flintstones. 
== About Mr. Slate ==
He is Fred's hot-tempered boss at the stone quarry. Though he is friends with Fred and Barney, he is often not impressed with Fred's antics at the quarry, and has fired him on many occasions, only to give him his job back at the end. Mr. Slate is married to Mrs. Slate. 
His appearance was constantly changing. In early episodes, he was like a prehistoric version of Mr. Spacely from The Jetsons. Later, he began wearing his trademark glasses and blue business suit. In "Moonlight and Maintenance", he sported a tuft of dark hair, despite being bald the rest of the time. He's also gone by the names of Mr. Rockhead and Mr. J.J. Granite. There was also a boss with white hair in the episode "The Tycoon", whose name was Mr. Boulder. 
== Trivia ==
* A running gag is his ever-changing first name, which has been presented as Sylvester, Nate, Oscar and George. His name was officially Nate in The Flintstone Kids.
