Feliz cumpleaños número 100 Bill Hanna

William Denby "Bill" Hanna (Melrose, Nuevo México, Julio 14 de 1910 – Marzo 22 del 2001) realmente vivió una vida que valdrá por mil años, pues a pesar que quizá no sea tan reconocido como Walt Disney, pero su talento en binomio con Joe Barbera es comparable en trascendencia y similar su aporte cultural en el ámbito de la televisión. Por eso este pequeño homenaje para este enorme creador lo hace recorriendo parte de su casi imnumerable obra.
