Scooby-Doo creator died

You've got to love this story in Slate.

why? because of the quote at the end describing the "scooby world view" (which itself comes from the Wash Post, but not where I got it)

The Washington Post's Hank Stuever concisely elucidated the "Scooby worldview" when the first live-action movie came out: "Kids should meddle, dogs are sweet, life is groovy, and if something scares you, you should confront it." What needs to be explained about that?

I humbly submit this for consideration for Ishbadiddle.

My favorite part of the story:

After learning illustration from other inmates at a California internment camp for Japanese-Americans during World War II, Takamoto pursued a career in animation, working for Disney and Hanna-Barbera, and on The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Cinderella, and Charlotte's Web.

You know, maybe Michelle Malkin could use that line next -- it wasn't an internment camp, it was a job training program!
