Joseph Barbera dies at age 95
Slightly off-topic obit announcement, but who can argue that Joseph Barbera hasn’t influenced us at some level, at some point in our lives. Along with William Hanna, Joseph and William created the Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Scooby-Doo, The Jetsons, and Tom and Jerry. Joseph passed away at the age of 95.

It’s not TOO off topic if you remember that alot of Hanna-Barbera properties had newspaper comics for some time (”The Flintstones,” “Yogi Bear,” even “Tom and Jerry” had a newspaper strip)

Actually, I didn’t know about the newspaper version of those cartoons. Now I do.
