I have always hated Scooby-Doo with a passion for copping out on real monsters in the early days, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Iwao Takamoto designed the now-immortal characters from SCOOBY-DOO, WHERE ARE YOU? (1969), and the motherfucker could draw his ass off.
He also designed Astro from THE JETSONS (1962),
and Penelope Pitsop from WACKY RACES (1968) and THE PERILS OF PENELOPE PITSTOP (1969).
How this dude survived the rigors of both Das Uber-Disney and the mines of Hanna-Barbera I will never know, but that just tells me he was one talented, tough son of a bitch.
