Mudsy, before becoming a ghost
Jonathan Wellington Muddlemore, better known as Mudsy, or The Funky Phantom, is one of the main characters in The Funky Phantom (being the titular protagonist). He was voiced by Daws Butler using the voice of Snagglepuss, many of whose catchphrases are reused here.
He has made appearances in Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? and Jellystone!
In Jellystone!, his voice is more unique-sounding in order to differentiate him from Snagglepuss.
About Mudsy[]
He is the ghost of an American Patriot. Mudsy grew up in a mansion called Muddlemore Manor with his family. When he was an adult, he joined the war with his pet cat, Boo.
One day while picking flowers, he and Boo saw some redcoats attacking and burying a treasure. When the redcoats chased after them, they hid in a grandfather clock in some old mansion. Unfortunately, they couldn't get out and suffocated in it. Centuries later, approximately 200 years, when Augie, April, Skip and Elmo seeked shelter from a rainstorm in the aforementioned mansion, they saw that the clock read the wrong time, and intended to set it right. In the process, the clock broke, and Mudsy and Boo were released from their chiming prison.
Mudsy is a huge coward and is afraid of everything he and the kids come into contact with (such as modern-day elements and the monsters and bad guys). However, Mudsy has his moments of bravery and always ends up saving the day and capturing the bad guys. He also cares deeply about April, Skip, and Augie as if they were his own children, and acts as a father-figure to them as well as his cat.
A running gag is that Mudsy makes up claims of life in his day, but the kids usually correct him.
