Edward Jonathan Barge (August 29, 1910 – September 29, 1991) was an American animator.
In 1916, the family moved to Bakersfield, where his father was employed by the Santa Fe Railroad and Pacific Western Oil Co. before retiring in 1954.
Gordon's unit had been disbanded the year before, at which point Barge was placed in the William Hanna/Joseph Barbera unit, then solely devoted to producing the Tom and Jerry cartoons; 1945's Quiet, Please!
Barge subsequently remained at MGM for the next decade, eventually departing following production of the 1956 Tom and Jerry short Barbecue Brawl.
Hanna and Barbera opened their own studio that same year and hired Barge in 1957 for the movie The Man Called Flintstone.
