RIP Joseph Barbera

Prolific cartoon creator dies at 95 - USATODAY.com (http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-12-18-barbera-obit_x.htm)

For those that don't recognize the name perhaps it will make more sense if I wrote Hanna-Barbera (http://www2.warnerbros.com/web/hannabarbera/index.jsp)

provided almost half of the good old fashioned cartoons I and many kids watched growing up. I can only hope to have a fraction of such a positive influence during my lifetime. RIP

there is nothing now a days that compares to those good old fashion cartoons. rip and god bless the family

I just watched some Tom and Jerry today. I watched it with some 7 and 8 year old kids I teach, and while they were chuckling, I was red in the face laughing out loud. Kind of embarrassing really.
