There sure was a lot of junky cartoons in the late ’70s, one of which was Rickey Rocket, which appeared as a part of the Plastic Man show. Sort of like Fat Albert in space, this featured an all black cast with a homemade spaceship that had scruffy hair and a streetwise style. Some Wikipedia digging shows that the cast featured Johnny Brown who is famous for playing “Bookman” on Good Times, and John Anthony Baily as the questionably named “Sunstroke” who went on to have a career in such porn films as New Wave Hookers. I’ll at least give the cartoon credit for being fairly original and this was in the days when not all cartoons were used to be toy commercials, so that’s at least saying something.
