Who can tell us about that fun-loving couple that ran by the names Beany & Cecil? Their names came up in a conversation the other day and no-one could remember anything beyond Beany being a large sea monster. Get your brains in gear and help me out...

Beany was the kid. Cecil was the Seasick Sea Serpent. One of their favorite places was No Bikini Atoll. They were first a pair of puppets, and then a cartoon. That's why you never see their legs.

Beanie and Cecil... (sp?) Cecil was a sea-serpent (A sea-sick sea-serpent, at that), Beanie was\ a kid who wore a cap with a propeller on it (a beanie...) and the villian was named Dishonest John. (Nye-he-he..). Trivially... Daniel Glasser ...!decvax!sultan!dag

And, of course, Beany wore what was to become the famous Beany Cap, on his head. I believe his Beany Cap had a propeller on it, enabling Beany to fly like a helicopter.

Beany was the little boy in Beany and Cecil. Cecil, the sea monster was always yelling "I'm comin' Beany boy, I'm a comin'!"

Beany and Cecil was a childrens show. Beany (or Beany-boy) had a good friend named Cecil the Seasick Sea-serpent. They sailed the oceans alond (along) with Captain John and a crow named Blackie (who didn't talk much). The bad-guy was Dishonest-John --- steve ---

I remember the theme song ended with: "A Bob Clampet Cartooooooooooooooooooon!" and Cecil would always yell "I'm coming Beanie, I'm coming!" the villain was Dishonest John, of course. -jan

Anyone remember an animated afternoon series called "Astro Boy"? Something about a little boy who was actually a robot. His legs doubled as rocket tubes, useful for flying Superman-style. -- Andrew Klossner (decvax!tektronix!tekmdp!laurir)

Of COURSE we remember Astroboy! Here are some starter questions: 1. What was the name of Astroboy's creator? 2. Who was the policeman who frequently appeared in the cartoon? 3. Brainbuster: What was the name of the production company which made the cartoon? Extra credit: Which one of the "big three" television networks was associated with the production or distribution of the show? Larry Geary Computer Sciences Corporation at American Bell, Holmdel, NJ ...npois!houxb!lmg
