A legend has died. Joseph Barbera, half of the famed cartoon team of Hanna-Barbera passed away at the age of 95. Hanna died a few years ago.
The team was responsible for almost every great cartoon I watched as a kid starting with Tom and Jerry, moving on to the Flintstones (a parody of the Honeymooners), the Jetsons, Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear (Hey Boo Boo!) and so many others.
By the way, I always thought it was ludicrous when people said Scooby Doo was created by drug users, as these were in their 50s or 60s at the time.
Mrs. Poop is especially saddened by this news because of her love for the Cartoon Network's Cartoon Express which got her through many evenings, with her favorite cartoon dog, Underdog.
