He also spread a good message to kids with the cartoon.

Oh man, what a positive legacy. I watched those cartoons when I was a kid in the 80s, and my daughter is watching the new stuff now. Awesome cartoons!

I was a fan of Hanna Barbera’s stuff. I wouldn’t say they were my top favorite shows as a kid but they were entertaining and had a unique style and charm to them. Sad to learn that someone who had a hand in that passed away but i celebrate his legacy :slight_smile: Thanks for making something that was a big part of my childhood.

Scooby taught us that when there is trouble afoot, it is always just a white guy wearing a hood.

Joe Ruby was the best; especially when one considers the fact that he hated Joseph Barbera’s creation Scrappy Doo as much as many other people do.

I’m just wondering why? I mean, are they on the case?

Velma was my first nerd-girl crush
