While Looney Toons may have had the (arguably) greater cultural impact, Hanna-Barbera’s after-school and Saturday morning cartoons were the animated cels of childhood: mad-cap escapades of giant talking animals, spaceships, and teenage crime-busting, all consistently told through the iconic cartoon trope of running from one side of the screen to the other and back again. Van Eaton Galleries tribute to Hanna-Barbera is showing through April 20th, 2013 in Sherman Oaks, California with art available for purchase.
