Yogi Bear Creator Joe Barbera Dies at 95 "Joe Barbera, half of the Hanna-Barbera animation team that produced such beloved cartoon characters as Tom and Jerry, Yogi Bear and the Flintstones, died Monday, a Warner Bros. spokesman said.

That's sad. I used to enjoy his character and how he interacted with Archie. Very funny how he handled him.
