December 19, 200619 yr A true animation pioneer, dead at age 95. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireSt...5724&page=1 The HB television stuff from the 1960s was great, but my favorite works of Joe and Bill will always be the MGM Tom and Jerry theatrical shorts. As good as the best Disney theatrical stuff, and in fact these were the shorts that made Disney rethink the pace of their shorts and go more slapstick during the Donald Duck heyday presided over by Jack, the other animating Hannah. Flinstones, Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Scooby Doo, Huckleberry Hound, Quickdraw McGraw. . . good stuff. Good run, Joe.

Kids today are missing out on Saturday morning cartoons, and some of these wonderful shows. I have taken time to introduce my son to some of the cartoons that I grew up with. Its funny to look at how old these cartoons are. Hanna and Barbara had an affect on us all as children. Its sad to see this, because its an end to a generation of cartoons.
December 19, 200619 yr Oh man...that is so sad. I would like to personally thank him for Quick Draw McGraw and his alter ego and my personal favorite, El Kabong. "I'm going to Kabong you with my Kabongerrrrr." RIP
