Hanna-Barbera No More

One half of perhaps the greatest animation tag-team in history, Joseph Barbera passed away Monday at the age of 95.

Barbera had teamed with legend William Hanna, who passed away at 90 in 2001, for the first time over fifty years ago and graced us all with such cartoon greats as Scooby-Doo, Yogi Bear, Tom & Jerry, the Jetsons, and the Flintstones.

Warner Bros. announced that he died of natural causes in his Los Angeles home with his wife Sheila by his side.

The thoughts and prayers of all those here at Inside Pulse go out to his entire family and may Mr. Joseph Barbera rest in peace.
