Rest in peace, Iwao Takamoto. Thanks for creating one of the greatest cartoon icons of the last 50 years and setting my imagination, and subsequently my daughter's, on fire with the adventures of a talking dog.
From MSNBC: ‘Scooby-Doo’ cartoonist dies at 81.Scooby-Dooby-Doo, my friend. Scooby-Dooby-Doo.
But it was his creation of Scooby-Doo, the cowardly dog with an adventurous heart, that captivated audiences and endured for generations.
Takamoto said he created Scooby-Doo after talking with a Great Dane breeder and named him after Frank Sinatra’s final phrase in “Strangers in the Night.”
