Monster-of-the-Week: …this week let’s acknowledge Cecil the
Seasick Sea Serpent—the original puppet version from Time for Beany, the late ‘40s/early
‘50s TV fave, performed and voiced by Freberg.
Cecil was one of the earlier monsters of my experience; I
had a stuffed Cecil when I was very small, although he was based on the later
cartoon version, Beany and Cecil. Anyway, here are Cecil and Harry Truman
performing “Ragg Mopp."
