Butch Cassidy
, also known as 
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids, is a made-for-TV cartoon that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced for their company, Hanna-Barbera. It ran in 1973, with a total of 13 episodes airing on NBC.

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 Elvis.

The first Butch Cassidy story we produced for the channel, titled "The Mysterious Problem," which wasn't written by me. The plot followed the gang going to solve a mystery. The second story, titled "The Investigation of Baghdad," which was written by me, involved the gang going to solve a mystery in Baghdad. In the final story, "Investigate Crime in a Town," which wasn't written by me, had the gang going to investigate a crime that took place in a town.

We are still in the process of writing more Butch Cassidy stories, as well as other Hanna-Barbera stories that you may see in the future. However, we haven't written a Butch Cassidy story in a while as of 2023, but I hope we can create more in the near future.
