Amazing the number of beloved, enduring characters that came out of that partnership. R.I.P, Joe.
And already Saturday mornings seem a little less bright.
I put up a nice little tribute to Joe on my blog. I'm sure he would be very pleased with all the adulation he's been getting. :)
Order my book Jesus Needs Help on Amazon or download on Kindle.

I watched 'toons on the TV like a sick child...and a big chunk of them were Hanna/Barbara. Lots of good, silly, fun stuff.
He'll be missed.

Amazing how many of the old time animators lived into their late eighties or nineties, maybe because they were doing something they loved.
Should be a message to today's youth.
