There goes another icon of my yoof

Joe Barbera has died aged 95. I wonder how many re-runs he saw over the years? That man is responsible for a huge number of my favourite TV memories from childhood (and now with Boomerang, as an immature adult):
- Tom and Jerry
- The Flintstones
- Scooby Doo
- The Huckleberry Hound Show
- The Yogi Bear Show
- Quick Draw McGraw
- Top Cat
- Wacky Races
- Banana Splits
And not forgetting the greatest cartoon ever: Hong Kong Phooey! De de de de de de daaaa.

I thought he was a woman until my teens.

I discovered from the radio reports, that probably along with most people, I’ve been mispronouncing his name all my life. It’s not “Barbra”, it’s “Bar-bear-a”!
