The Funky Phantom is a cartoon series produced by Hanna-Barbera for ABC in 1971.
== Overview ==
Teenagers Augie, Skip and April released a 200-year-old ghost named Jonathan Wellington Muddlemore, along with his ghostly cat, Boo, from a grandfather clock when one of them set the clock's hands to midnight. Mudsy and Boo joined the teens and their dog in a dune buggy called the Looney Duney, solving mysteries in the manner of Scooby Doo Where Are You! Soon enough, the series began to develop its own identity by having the characters meet actual criminals instead of bad guys in masks, and most episodes would also have morals in them. In the comics, the characters encountered other ghosts besides Mudsy and Boo.

== Trivia ==
* This is the first Hanna-Barbera Australia production. To make this possible, H-B partnered up with Air Programs International in Sydney, Australia, to produce the series, ultimately acquiring the studio and rebranding it as Hanna-Barbera Pty. Ltd. This resulted in considerably sloppier animation and editing than H-B's domestic output of the time.
*New incidental music for the series was composed by Australian jazz composer John Sangster, although the show recycles much of Ted Nichols' underscore (and half the time, the Ted Nichols music doesn't even get used properly).
