Ralph, Morton and Alice are caricatures of Ralph, Norton and Alice, the characters played by
Jackie Gleason,
Art Carney and
Audrey Meadows on "
The Honeymooners (1955)" (and before that, on "
The Jackie Gleason Show (1952)"). Cheese It, the Cat! is one of three such parodies from the Warner Bros. cartoon studio that began with
The Honey-Mousers (1956) (1956) and ended with
Mice Follies (1960) (1960).
