Why does Yogi Bear wear a tie?


yogi bearbecause it makes life easier for the animator...

In the 1960s, animation company Hanna-Barbera came up with the idea of layering cells on top of each other, meaning that much less had to be drawn at any one time.

Yogi Bear and all those characters have a necktie on, so that they don't have to draw the body again, they can just draw the head and you don't see the join.

That made animation back then a lot cheaper, and able to be mass-produced for TV.
