One of the fathers of television animation.  Without him there probably would be no Simpsons or Futurama, and definitely no Adult Swim, lived to be the ripe old age of 95

To be honest I was surprised that he was still alive, still sad, like most people my age I grew up watching Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

Aww, that really is sad, I always used to watch Joe and Hannah Barbara cartoons... but t leats he's in a better place maybe...

Man, I remember watching their cartoons when I was a little kid and wondering who Hanna Barbera was and why her name kept coming up after all my favorite shows. Looking back on it their quality-to-crap ratio was pretty poor, but I gotta give them credit for the nice childhood memories. 95's a good age to live to. RIP.

95? Lucky git. I was never a big fan of the Hanna Barbera programs when I got older but when I was much younger, It was all Cartoon Network could show.
