Joe Barbera March 24, 1911 – December 18, 2006

Another one of the great ones is gone.

Joseph Barbera died of natural causes at his home in Studio City, Los Angeles on December 18, 2006, ending a successful seventy year career in animation.

Thanks for all the inspiration Joe. Hanna Barbera Cartoons have greatly influenced my own work and will continue to do so in the future!
