Hi,

me and my colleague at work have been delving into the depths of our memories to try and recall this cartoon.

apparently it was based on an island, and one of the characters was a snake, a a purple one with a posh voice - but a with a lisp.

we have both tried typing "purple snake lisp" into google, but we got some very dodgy sites.

anyone help??

thanks

    Hmm, this does ring familiar. I seem to recall he had pink diamonds on his back, but I'm not positive. Wait, maybe that's Qbert. Wasn't there a Qbert cartoon?

        While not on an island, a purple lisping snake does call to mind the character Sir Hiss in the 1973 Disney cartoon movie 'Robin Hood'. I looked up a picture to help and saw he is not purple after all though. http://disney.go.com/vault/archives/villains/johnhiss/johnhiss.html

        Oh heck, I remembered him purple. Must have always been the purple in the background. Sorry, I only have a lisping snake idea then. :(

        Spare idea- Maybe Cobra Commander on G.I. Joe had a purple lisping snake.

          thanks for the replies people.

          it defo wasnt the john hiss fellow, altho it does look very familiar.....

          my sources say the snake may not have been purple!! cripes.

          anyway, i shall keep on looking.

          apparenlty the main character lived in a shack on the beach, i thought was charlie chalk but im told by my colleague that its definetley wasnt chalie chalk.

          hmmmmm.

                Yea I was thinking Ovide as well. *Hums the theme song* What was that snake's name anyway? I just remember him having the dumb hornbill sidekick..

                  it's Ovide
                  you're talking about Cy the snake, he was the 'bad' guy of the show
                  he had a lisp in the dutch version, so probably in the english version as well

                  look at the intro, that's probably the snake you mean
