Behind the scenes

• It isn't really specified if Ding-a-Ling is a child or an adult, but based on his child-like appearance and mannerisms, it can be speculated that he's a child.
  • Interestedly enough, in the Jellystone! reboot, he is also shown to be portrayed as a child.
• Ding-a-Ling's name likely originates from the song "My Ding-a-Ling," which was first recorded in 1952 by Dave Bartholomew. The word "ding-a-ling" is onomatepoeia for the sound of ringing bells, although it may also refer as slang to an eccentric or crazy person, or a double entendre.
• In some newspaper articles from 1961 or 1962, his surname is revealed to be "Wolf."
• In the Huckleberry Hound comics from Dell, he is referred to as a fox and his full name is given as "Ding-a-Ling Fox".
