Joseph Barbera died today at 95. Partner and co-founder of the famed cartoon studio, Hanna-Barbera, he helped give the world such classics as Tom & Jerry, Yogi Bear, and the Flintstones while earning eight Emmys along the way.
Born in Brooklyn, NY in 1911, Barbera was originally a banker who lived the American Dream by converting his everyday doodles into characters that will go on forever.
The Hanna-Barbera studios became a subsidiary of Great American Communications Co., which was purchased in 1991 by TBS, and was then absorbed by AOL Time Warner when the two mega corps merged.

It's a sad day. He made millions of kids like me laugh, and lust after Judy Jetson. You younguns missed out on a great cartoon age.
Heavens to mergatroid, exit stage left...
I met him just two years ago for the first and last time. At least his studios in the Cahuenga Pass will remain as a testament to the creative team forever, even if there's surrounded by storage units.
