Joe Barbera's creative talent will give enjoyment to generations of kids and adults to come. My honor is to have played a small part as a cartoonist working with him at Hanna-Barbera for many years.
I started to work at H&B in 1960! The "new building" was not completed yet, so we occupied a building up the block, at 3501 Cahuenga Blvd. We were all on one floor and Bill & Joe's doors were always open to us, thereby creating a warm, friendly atmosphere that is lacking all but the smallest studios today.

The interview went well over an hour and after the reporter le...
