Joseph Clemens Ruby (March 30, 1933 – August 26, 2020)[1] was an American animator, writer, television producer, and music editor. He was best known as a co-creator of the animated Scooby-Doo franchise, together with Ken Spears. In 1977, they co-founded the television animation production company Ruby-Spears Productions.[2] Ruby would work with Spears and would co-create several other shows including, Fangface, Dynomutt, Dog Wonder and Jabberjaw among others.
Ruby would meet Spears in 1959 at Hanna-Barbera, when the studio was being interviewed by Life Magazine[3] and the two would start working together on animated shows. Before Ruby founded Ruby-Spears he would work with at several studios including Walt Disney Animation Studios, Hanna-Barbera, DePatie–Freleng Enterprises and with Sid and Marty Krofft.
In 1996, the Ruby-Spears studio closed, and Ruby would keep working with Spears up until his death on August 26, 2020. Spears died three months later of natural causes. He was 87 years old.
