harvey eisenberg -lrb- february 11 , 1912-april 22 , 1965 -rrb- was an american animator and comic book artist .
best known for his work with william hanna and joseph barbera at mgm and later at their own hanna-barbera productions , eisenberg illustrated a large number of comic book stories and comic strips starring characters such as tom and jerry , yogi bear , and the flintstones , while also working as an animation layout artist and character designer on the cartoons themselves .
eisneberg was a native of brooklyn , new york city , new york , where as an adult he met another cartoonist , joseph barbera .
barbera later got eisenberg a job at the mgm cartoon studio in the late 1930s , where eisenberg worked in barbera and william hanna 's unit doing layouts for `` tom and jerry '' cartoons .
