 Hokey Wolf
comment
A Hanna-Barbera cartoon about the adventures of a con-artist wolf (voiced by Daws Butler impersonating Phil Silvers) who is always trying to cheat his way into the simple life. He is invariably accompanied by his young, diminutive sidekick, Ding-A-Ling Wolf (voiced by Doug Young in a manner suggesting Buddy Hackett), both of whom are featured as part of The Huckleberry Hound Show in their own segment.

 Hokey Wolf / int_1282bf4f
comment
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Hokey's voice is modeled after that of Phil Silvers (as is his huckster-like Sgt. Bilko personality), while Ding-A-Ling sounds a lot like Buddy Hackett.

Badass Adorable: Ding-A-Ling Wolf. In one episode, he witnessed a robot trying to strangle Hokey, and what did he do? He grabbed a massive stick and beat the living crap out of the robot. Keep in mind, this is an adorable wolf cub with Puppy-Dog Eyes and an innocent personality.

Ring Around the Collar
 Hokey Wolf / int_32db0e4c
comment
Ring Around the Collar: Like most Hanna-Barbera characters from this time, Hokey wears an accessory around his neck (a shirt collar and bowtie in this case) to facilitate animation shortcuts. The top of Ding-A-Ling's shirt serves the same function.

Civilized Animal
 Hokey Wolf / int_46332d5a
comment
Civilized Animal: Both Hokey and Ding-A-Ling exhibit characteristics of humans and wolves, and are able to communicate with the former as needed. While bipedal and sporting limited amounts of clothing, they seem to be homeless, live hand to mouth, and like to eat their species' usual favorites, such as sheep and chickens.

comment
Let's Get Dangerous!: In the episode "Robot Plot", Ding-A-Ling beats a robot with a large stick after he sees it strangling Hokey. That scene is enough to qualify little Ding as a Badass Adorable.

Crying Wolf: After reading The Boy Who Cried Wolf to Ding-A-Ling, Hokey tries to steal some sheep, hoping the boy herding them won’t be taken seriously. It doesn't work. It isn't even known if that boy had pulled the prank in the first place. From the episode "Lamb-Basted Wolf".

Schemer: Hokey constantly tries to come up with some clever scheme to either better himself and/or his sidekick. Not surprising, given that he is voiced similarly to Phil Silvers of Sgt. Bilko fame.
