the guy Rowson is simply a moron - by just dismissing something as 'crap' with no basic explanation is lazy commentating, and to blame H&B for others in the industry also making 'crap' is simply beyond me... perhaps other journalists will start writing 'crap' comments like his, in the future just because he does...
its true that the cartoons were not the best made, but they were certainly not 'crap' and they do still live long in the memories and STILL bring endless joy to children - my daughter, who is 4, for one, loves Scooby Doo (ok it is the same plot, set, basic drawing designs) but its watchable comic fun, which after all is the point, imo.
Just because someone has died its not fair to besmirch his memory by dissing almost his entire work.
