This guy was ever present in my youth and not just for Scooby-Doo and Muttley! Incidentally, less than a month after another legend in animation - Barbera!!

Cheers geezer!

Yeah, it's amazing that this faceless guy was such a huge part of our childhoods. I would never had known who he was unless it was spelled out. I mean..Mutley...Scooby (and there are many, many more) ffs! He deserves a big mention!

Someone should post his obituary when it appears so that others know what a place this guy had in our childhoods.
