Tribute to Hanna-Barbera

I heard Joseph Roland Barbera had started on a journey to the heaven today.
When I was a child, I watched Jetson, Flint stone, and Tom & Jerry etc.
When I do the work of animation, I always think of their animation.
I have not met Hanna-Barbera.
However, I will keep drawing illustration with Hanna-Barbera works.

ARIGATO Hanna-Barbera.

Which is the character of your most favorite Hanna-Barbera?
