Sheesh, first a Rocky and Bullwinkle writer and now this.

A sad day for we folks that appreciate the cartoons of old.

"... success in the 1950s with a witty series of animated TV comedies, including "The Flintstones," "The Jetsons," "Yogi Bear," "Scooby-Doo" and "Huckleberry Hound and Friends."

As a TV reviewer called it 35 years ago, "The Hanna-Barbera garbage factory. He was right.

If they had done nothing but 'Tom and Jerry' they would still be immortal. And they made do with the budgets they had to make animation work on TV.

Hi All-

Does anyone know whether this man was a liberal or a conservative? I've never heard one way or the other about Messrs. Hanna & Barbera.

I wonder how many Freepers can name all of those characters? I managed to identify all but those related to Smurfdom.

When I heard about this on Fox the first thought I had was "Thank you, Mr. Barbera."

I wonder if men like this ever know how much joy they gave to so many children...and adults.
