william hanna (of hanna-barbera) passed away. that sucks. i really like the hanna-barbera style (which may be why my favorite current cartoons are ones like dexter's lab and the powerpuff girls, which owe huge debts to that style). in fact, as classic as the whole warner bros. looney tunes and merrie melodies shorts are, the cartoons i like to see again tend to be hanna-barbera and jay ward stuff. i think i burned out on the whole bugs/daffy/etc thing.
