Cartoon Destruction

When we read the article about Yogi Bear and his sidekicks, we were truly upset to learn that the artistic creations of Joe Barbera and Bill Hanna are to be used in a manner for which they were never intended (“Yogi Bear Gets a Bit of the Ren & Stimpy Attitude,” by Michael P. Lucas, Sept. 23).

Putting names of characters created by Barbera and Hanna on entirely different, evil and horrible replacements is an insult to the designers and the viewers, especially to children. People throughout the world truly love and appreciate these extremely talented gentlemen and their fabulous cartoons, and it seems the happy images they created are being destroyed.
