Talk:Ding-a-Ling

For some reason Ding was mistakingly listed as a fox on Hokey's card in a HB card set that came out in the 1990s. It begs the question about his species sometimes, but he's most likely a Wolf given that he hangs out with Hokey (and the fact he is mentioned to be a Wolf in some episodes). -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 05:49, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

He also mysteriously disappeared after Yogi's Ark Lark, because his appearances that came after the Ark Lark film (Harvey Birdman and Yo, Yogi!) weren't canon or didn't affect what happened in the events of the series' that came before. I think a more realistic version of Hokey made a cameo in that Yogi/Death Stroke comic. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 05:49, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

I think the main reason as to why he disappeared was because Doug Young retired at the time. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 19:16, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Loopy De Loop short

A very similar-looking little wolf[1] who appeared in a Loopy De Loop short shared some similarities to Ding-a-Ling in appearance. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 02:26, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Main image.

I changed the picture because Ding is usually happy. So it doesn't really make sense for the former to be used. Also I've been wounding if the Golden Book versions should be on the infobox or not because they have differences from the series (usually). Hokey and Ding impartiality don't have many differences in later appearances (in Yogi's Ark Lark and Yogi's Gang (Hokey alone) they look nothing different from the original). -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 22:51, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

I guess there's the tone and texture which comes from the change of studios they use. Like going from a flat version to a little more three dimension. Aside from that, I'd say there's some difference in Yo, Yogi! -- MisterJames (talk) 23:39, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

There are some differences between Hokey and his later appearances, I've actually mentioned this before that his fur appears more tan in later appearances. I'm not sure if it's just bad television quality or if his fur was meant to be like that and they just messed it up in the series by making it darker. They definitely had changes in Yo, Yogi!. Considering Augie appears in this series (when he's still the same age???) I won't count it as canon, so we should definitely have their images from that series in their infoboxes though I won't include having Yo, Yogi! incarnations that look nothing different from the original like Snooper, Blabber, Quick Draw, Baba Looey, Pixie, Dixie, Jinks or Augie because there just isn't much differences when think about it. What do you think about this? -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 23:55, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
