CARTOON NETWORK

Since Hanna Barbera and Cartoon Network were both owned by Time Warner, every day working there was a yabba-dabba-do time.

Here was the great thing: if I needed a picture of, let’s say, Fred Flintstone driving a Ferrari down Sunset Blvd., I’d just walk down the hall and ask the late, great Ed Benedict who’d been drawing him for 50 years and he’d have it for me in two minutes.

You might say he was the Bedrock of the operation.

You might. I wouldn’t.
