Art Carney (specifically as "Ed Norton" on The Honeymooners) has been the basis for a couple very famous cartoon characters.
First, Looney Toons made some very direct homages to The Honeymooners with mice cartoon characters (called the Honey-Mousers), but these were only a very limited series with a few sequels running from 1956 to 1960 (as far as I know).
We all know The Flintstones was based on The Honeymooners, with the four main characters virtually copied for the cartoon. Although Barney's voice changed throughout the series, his best known one sounds very similar to that of "Ed Norton".
The other very famous and long-running character that was based on Art Carney's "Ed Norton" was Yogi Bear who had the same mannerisms & inflections as Norton and they even gave him Norton's hat - upturned in the front of course.
