On that first episode while the good captain was below deck, a lisping green sea serpent popped up to utter his later to be famous greeting of "Howdy!" to the young boy. "I'm Cecil, the Sea Sick Sea Serpent (hiccup) and I'm seasick (starts to sway). Stop rocking the boat. Steady the frame!" stated the green sock puppet. The sea serpent disappears beneath the waves to steady his stomach and Beany tries vainly to convince his uncle that he saw a sea serpent.
