I grew up on a steady diet of Hanna-Barberacartoons, among other favorites, including"The Flintstones,""The Jetsons,""Yogi Bear,""Jonny Quest," and"Huckleberry Hound."

So when I found out about the passing of Joseph Barbera, I paused for a moment to recall all the joy his wonderful animation brought me.

And this passing comes after the recent passing of Chris Hayward, a writer responsible for many of the characters featured on"Rocky and Bullwinkle," among other timeless TV shows (hat tip to David Beito).
