Fabulous Funnies is a 1978–79 American Saturday morning animated TV series produced by Filmation which aired for one season from September 9, 1978, to December 1, 1978, on NBC, having 13 episodes.

The show is an anthology of stories based on American comic strips, including Broom Hilda (originally created by Russell Myers), Alley Oop, The Captain and the Kids, Nancy, Emmy Lou and (for one episode) Tumbleweeds. The character designs closely mimic the comic strips, so the animators had to animate in several different styles for the program. Broom Hilda was voices by June Foray!

And this is a rare hand-painted production background used on camera to make the show. Cels are placed over a background and photographed as a single frame that then appear on the TV.  AND backgrounds are much more rare than cels or drawings, as there is only one background for a few hundred cels or more!

The # after the BH is the episode number.  It may be slightly different from the air order, but it should be fairly easy to find this background if you look up that episode and the ones around it (with a few exceptions).

Most backgrounds measure approx 10.5" x 14" but can vary larger or smaller horizontally. Has minor production wear including tape on top and bottom. Most have an overlay cel and many of the overlay cels have that "oily" look some Filmation cels get.

Note: purchasing these original items from the making of the cartoons does not convey any rights to the images or characters on the cels/drawings.  They remain with the original copyright holders.
