Do you remember the cartoon?

Not that I recall.

Research shows it was on in 1949 in L. A. and on paramount network 1950 to 1955. I don't remember watching it.

I have to admit...i did watch that show, but it MUST have been re-runs! :037:

I remember Beanie & Cecil as a puppet show, (with Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent, right?) Was it aired only locally in LA? One of my earliest TV memories.

Nope. Kansas City showed them too. So it must have been national.

FWIW, I kept a slide rule in its case hanging on my office wall until about two years ago. The newly minted engineering grads would come by to see what one of those looked like.
