| | Now It's Time for the Beany and Cecil Cartoons |
 | | Beany sailed the world in search of adventures and fortune in the good ship "Leakin' Lena," accompanied by "Uncle Captain," aka Horatio K. Huffenpuff, and the lovable and most stout-hearted hero of all heroes, Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent. |
 | | These are the stars of Beany, the puppet show, but with them are numerous subsidiary characters, designed by Bob Clampett, dictated by dramatic necessity and manipulated by many of Hollywood's best-known acting talents. |
 | | It was unquestionably Bob's talent, and his legendary reputation with Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, plus the popular acclaim of his puppet show, Time for Beany, and "Beany and Cecil Meet Billy the Squid," his cel-animation pilot, that led to the sale of Beany and Cecil, the animated half-hour series to the ABC network. |
