Joseph Barbera, one half of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon team, died today in Los Angeles, California. He was 95 years old.

Hanna-Barbera, founded in the 1950s, was the company behind such classic cartoons as The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Scooby-Doo and Huckleberry Hound.

The world of animation will not soon see another of his stature.

R.I.P sir.

Oh no, didn't want to read that. I had a radio show in college and once a week I did an hour long segment where I would "interview" Yogi and have it as a call in show. Not sure people ever did realize that I was the voice behind both parts of that show. Sad news indeed.

RIP Mr. Barbera and may I say, you helped bring us some excellent cartoons.
