Hokey Wolf is an anthropomorphic wolf and the smooth-talking title character in the Hokey Wolf animated television shorts, which came as part of The Huckleberry Hound Show. His voice was originated by Daws Butler impersonating Phil Silvers. He is often considered the main antagonist in some of his appearances throughout the years.

Character description

He is a greedy, lazy, slacking con-artist wolf, trying to avoid work by getting money and needs out of people the hard way, which he would constantly go around conning people. Usually, he sets up his "victims" by taking advantage of them, mostly by complementing them on their talent, skill or performance, so they would fall in Hokey's trap, then he pulls the full cover over them by stealing their "needs" for himself. This would usually backfire in some way in the end with the person he conned either shooting after him with a gun or violently threatening to beat him up.

During his misadventures, he would usually be followed by his young, faithful sidekick, Ding-a-Ling, a smaller, slightly dim wolf who wants to follow in his "hero's" con-artist footsteps and would cheer him on during his schemes.

In later appearances, Hokey appears mostly by himself, less villainous and less willing to con others, but still has some villainous actions up his sleeve.

In addition, he is a timber wolf with brown fur, a peach snout and a black nose, usually depicted wearing a violet colored pork pie hat, a white collar, and a teal bow tie.

Hokey was born in a cave outside of Denver.[6]

Yogi and his Toy

In "Wild Bees" story of issue #23, Hokey comes up with a scheme by selling a beehive to Huckleberry, despite Huck not owning any bees and having no use for it. Hokey then tries to get more money out of Huck by getting wild bees and selling them to Huck, after sticking his cane in the beehive, the bees become angry with him and start chasing him, however Huck manages to catch the bees with the beehive Hokey sold him earlier. After once again trying to get money out of Huck, the bees recognized his voice and didn't forget what he did earlier, which caused them to lift the hive up into the air (much like a rocket) and land over Hokey's head, then started stinging him as he ran off, still with the beehive over his head.

In "Ding's Old Banger" story of issue 27, Hokey scams Ding-a-Ling by selling Ding an old car that's engine doesn't even work, later however, the garbage man buys the car and renames it "Ding's Thing", after this, it was a happy ending for everyone (except Hokey), Ding-a-Ling got his money back, the garage man had a new car and Hokey got his tail scorched by the garage man's new car, which made him learn his lesson in the end for trying to cheat Ding-a-Ling out of a broken car.

Marvel's Laff-A-Lympics

When Yogi was asked by his buddies at Hanna-Barbera to gather teammates for the Yogi Yahooeys, Yogi thought about his old friend Hokey. Yogi tracked Hokey down to a place called "Lazy Lake", where he offered the fish a free demonstration of frying pans. When asked about joining the team, Hokey's response went some like "How many sheep are in it for me?".[7]

Yogi is framed for sheep-stealing

In "Don't Give up the Sheep," Hokey steals a sheep from a farmer who was given permission by the government to have his sheep at Jellystone and frames Yogi for it. Later, he begins to feel guilty for framing Yogi and decides to return the sheep, only for the farmer to chase him away with a cane.

Development

Hokey's main purpose of being created was to replace the Yogi Bear shorts of the Huckleberry Hound Show after Yogi got his own show in 1961, with Hokey's debut being in the episode "Tricks and Treats." Hokey himself was not as popular as Yogi Bear or Top Cat, but was still popular enough to later reappear as a side character in Yogi-centered shows.

Behind the scenes

  • Hokey's con-artist personality was later passed down to the character Top Cat, who stared on his own show later in the same year on ABC.
  • In a coloring book, Hokey's birthday cake has six candles indicating he is six years old (40 in wolf years).

In popular culture

  • In the Samurai Jack episode "Aku's Fairy Tales," the wolf is a parody of Hokey.
  • In the Pointless game show, one of the questions was on which characters were from HB, in which Hokey was one of the characters listed.
