RIP Joseph Barbera

[Dave B]

Sad news earlier today: Joseph Barbera, one half of the famous Hanna Barbera partnership, has died aged 95.

For many of us, HB cartoons were a huge influence on our childhood, including Scooby Doo, The Flintstones, Hong Kong Phoey, Captain Caveman and The Hair Bear Bunch.

If you're in any doubt just how big was their contribution to popular culture, have a scroll through this list:
