He was 95. Thats a pretty good run for a guy. The end of any era.

Laughter is the best medicine. I think the only one of the old hands to die young was Tex Avery. Seems Tex didn't watch enough of his own cartoons - they were hilarious!

The cartoons of today are horrible. Jimmy Neutron, Fairly Odd Parents, Ed, Edd, and Eddie--horrible. the only modern cartoon I like is The Simpsons. Mainly geared towards adults though. Sponge Bob is good for a kid cartoon...(I like it too)...

For some reason, it is very difficult to get Looney Tunes (Bugs, Daffy, Porky) produced now. All I can say about it is you don't see Disney shelving Mickey and Donald, do you?

That's a big loss. He touched so many many kids and adults including me. Thanks for posting the Tom & Jerry cartoon. I wish cartoons today could even match the caliber of the classics.

 I think Harvey Birdman is particularly appropriate, as it is a direct spoof of Hanna-Barbera cartoons. (Fred Flintstone as 'The Godfather'--Genius!) (Dr. Quest and Reese as an alternate-lifestyel couple--Genius!)

Dexter's Laboratory is great too.
ATHF gets tiring very quickly. I'm enjoying Futurama and Family guy a lot more now than when they first came out.

It's sad to see him go, but it's hard to feel sorry for him, too. 95 years of a life like that. We all should be that blessed.

"Hey boo-boo, let's go get us some pic-i-nic baskets!"
"Hey yogi, what about the ranger?" "F the ranger boo-boo, i'm smarter than the average bear, he-he-he-he." Sad to see Mr.B go.

Speaking to the writers and storyboard artists, almost all of them look at classic Looney Tunes and Hanna-Barbera cartoons for inspiration. If a person wants to get into animation, Adult Swim would definitely be a great launching pad.

Is that the infamous Williams Street building?
It's very obvious from watching Adult Swim that there is communication between the staffs of the various in-house produced shows. I think when those guys are 95, they will be thought of as fondly as William Hanna and Joseph Barbera. I'm not a big fan of rap/hip-hop, but it is interesting to see how the Atlanta music scene has become so interwoven with Adult Swim...

If you want a real challenge in the field, try working for the Southpark guys. In some cases they don't have a finished script until Wednesday, and the episode has to be in the can Saturday. Seventeen-hour work days are probably expected...
