Iwao Takamoto, creator of Scooby Doo, passed away at Cedar Sinai yesterday. He's actually a family friend and I got to meet him once. Really nice, had original artwork all over his place. He's apparently been a major influence on the characters from H-B.

Although I can't stand some of the NEWER incarnations of Scooby and the Gang, it's a damn shame to lose someone as influential as that.

My condolences and well wishes to his family.

Never cared for SD, but still sad to see him go.

I liked SD when I was a child, It was original (at first).
His work will be remembered and also him.

You know when I'm really gonna mourn? When Casey Kasem dies.

"Like, Scoob!"

Bob, why isn't Scrappy at the top of that damn list?!

There is a very good reason for that.

take a good long look at the list.

Also really sad to hear the creator of one of the shows i most watched as a kid is gone.

All good serial murderers kill themselves at the end. He SHOULD be on that list. Ok, not at the top, but at least at the end.

...the first episode was kind of original...

But hey, why is Daphne on that list before Velma?

Aw man, that's unfortunate. I haven't watched the show since I was really young, but still....it was these shows that inspired me to make my own comics.

All my sound effects for life come from those old Hanna Barbara cartoons!

Maybe, I haven't watched it since I was seven years old, but I still think that the concept was original when I was released.
