Sad to learn today that the creator of the hit cartoon series "Scooby-Doo" has died in Los Angeles. Ken Spears, who worked for Warner Bros. and co-animated the iconic programme was 82 years old.
I loved this programme when I was a young kid and my kids loved it too, especially the movies when they were young, we took great delight in watching them together. There was something innovative about the series, it combined a bit of comedy with a some serious science/sleuthing and came up with a compelling (for an 8 year old) and fun way to spend 30 minutes on a Saturday morning. It taught me a couple of important life lessons too. Firstly, whenever there appears to be something supernatural going on, it always turns out to be someone in a mask that's up to no good and secondly, being geeky is cool!
