RIP Joe Ruby
 

Joe Ruby passed away. He was the co-creator of Scooby Doo with Ken Spears. They also made the Mega Man cartoon in 1994.

Mr. Ruby was involved in the creation and production of many beloved cartoons, as well as creating one of the most iconic cartoons in existence. His work will forever be cherished.

May he be able to rest peacefully.

Met them both at SDCC 2008, really nice guys and humble.

A great icon of cartoon history, his legacy will be remembered fondly.

Yeah Thundarr was my favorite from the pair.

His uncle also killed Lee Harvey Oswald, which inspired him to write murder mysteries. His publisher told him that people solving crimes were cliche, so Ruby changed the main character to a dog. The rest is history.
