The Funky Phantom is a made-for-TV cartoon that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced for their company, Hanna-Barbera. It ran from 1971 to 1972, with a total of 17 episodes airing on ABC. During a dark, stormy night, three teenagers, Augie, April and Skip, as well as their pet Elmo, hide for shelter in an old, abandoned house, and realize the time being stuck wrong on an old grandfather clock, when the time was corrected, two ghosts from the American Revolution are released, those being Jonathan Wellington Muddlemore, and his pet cat Boo, who accompany the teens on their misadventures, in which, they would usually find themselves in trouble with some kind of villain, and would have to stop their evil plan. It was one of many attempts by Hanna-Barbera to recreate the success of the Scooby-Doo franchise.
When we started creating characters for our YouTube channel, the entire cast were in a later lineup we did for modeling, we made them as they were part of HB's history, I did modeling work for Muddlemore, Boo and Elmo.
The first Funky Phantom story we produced for the channel, titled "The Spooky Case," which wasn't written by me. The plot followed the gang going to investigate a so-called monster. The second story, titled "Aren't You Being a Bit Funky?," which was written by me, involved the gang going to investigate a mysterious pickup truck. In the final story, "A-BOOOOOOO!," which I also wrote, had the gang going to investigate a abandoned house.
We are still in the process of writing more Funky Phantom stories, as well as other Hanna-Barbera stories that you may see in the future. However, we haven't written a Funky Phantom story in a while as of 2023, but I hope we can create more in the near future.
