      Iwao Takamoto, the designer of Scooby-Doo, has passed away. Here's the official press release…

      http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070109/en_nm/takamoto_dc

      Takamoto was a brilliant cartoonist, not to mention a legend. Even though I am deeply saddened by his passing, his legacy will live on forever through the amazing characters he created. Scooby-Doo was my all-time favorite cartoon as a child, and I hope that it continues to captivate children for decades to come.

          A friend of mine cried after hearing the news about that during math class. 😞

          I never like Scooby-Doo that much, but R.I.P. Takamoto.

                Well in all truth's Scooby Doo has been dead for years. The past Scooby Doo shows and movies had suffered from the no input of the creators. So I say Rest in Peace many years go.

                    Well I believe that you could not fit all the names in you signature space, but anyways the more imporant issue to ask is this. What would you consider an famous person that did something great? The creator of Scooby Doo died and so did the creator of Ramen? Who is more important to you Zulen?

                    You could do the top ten people that contributed to the world, who have recently died.

                            How was Scooby Doo bad? I will agree with you if you mean that the group should of actually fought the monster instead of just running away but they were stoned hippies. Acid trips make old men in rubber masks look like demons from hell.

                            Plus the drugs made Scooby talk, who else would want a talking dog that would almost act like a human?

                                  Scooby Doo is undeniably a classic, whether you like it or not.

                                  I kind of wish they didn't kill it with so many crappy new series though.

                                        I never liked Scooby Doo.

                                        Although I was fond of A Pup Named Scooby Doo.

                                        Anyway yeah, didn't know he was designed by a guy that learned how to draw while in a Japanese internment camp.

                                          i actualy prefere the new version over the old version of Scooby doo👅

                                          i fricking loved all the more "recent" direct to tv movies they made, especialy Scooby doo on Zombie island ive been watching it since i was 10 and now im 18 and still take out that ol VHS and watch it and enjoy the hell outta it:happy:

                                          and im also some what of a fan of whats new Scooby doo.

                                          anyways Iwao rest in peace knowing that your legacy will be enjoyed and live on in the hearts of young children everywhere(and some childish adults xD).

                                              Aww..I used to love scooby doo. I remember the only time my grandmother ever spanked me was when I snuck over to a friends house to watch it. She came over and I hid under the bed.

                                              Sad to hear hear he passed away.

                                                    I had no idea Scooby's designer was japanese…

                                                    Damn, like so many people I grew up with Scooby Doo, of course I got quite bored with it as I neared 8 or so. I kinda can't stand to watch it anymore, it just bores me beyond reason.

                                                    But that doesn't change the fact I grew up with it.

                                                    May you rest in peace.

                                                        Aw, that's sad. Joseph Barbera just died last month too.

                                                        JoeB took Tak down with him… H&B was always known to be a very tight, control freaky establishment. Joe probably planted time release death drugs in so many of his employees making them die with him.

                                                                  and well, i think it's plausible that there are more famous people around because the eintertainment branch gives people more different opportunities to become famous. concludingly there'll be more deaths of celebs that will be recognized yeah.
