A Sad Day in Bedrock

[sdelmonte]

As you might have seen, Joe Barbera, one half of the animation team of Hanna and Barbera, has passed away at ripe old age of 95.  

I grew up with the Flintstones, Yogi Bear, and Scooby Doo.  I discovered the DC Universe through the adventures of the SuperFriends.  I watched reruns of everything they produced in the 60s, from Space Ghost to the Jetsons.  And I watched their original award-wnning creations, Tom and Jerry, wreak mayhem without a word.  

Some of these shows stand the test of time.  Others don't.   But almost all are beloved, and have inspired generations (even if I doubt that Barbera ever quite got Harvey Birdman, Attorney, or Space Ghost  Coast to Coast).  

Rest in peace, Joe.

Half of the brain child behind Snow White and the Harlem Globetrotters.

He will be missed.
