It was originally called Funtastic Treasure Hunt. Mark Evanier was the first writer hired, and even voluntarily had a pay cut to work on it because of his love of the characters and voice actor Daws Butler, but left when he ended up butting heads with Joseph Barbera, who had decided to become more involved and disagreed with all that Evanier had been doing, which eventually made him quit the studio altogether, although he remained on good terms with Barbera. One episode Evanier wrote was called "The Neil Diamond." Evanier was replaced with Tom Ruegger.[1]
Circa 1987, Ruegger, John Ludin, Scott Jeralds, and Alfred Gimeno developed the series bible for a potential spin-off called The Trio of Triumph, starring the Trio of Triumph, made up of Huckle Hero, Ram-Boo-Boo, and El Kabong.[2]
Music
