Here I go picking on Otho the rubbery artificial Futureman again, though if he wasn't such a colossal jerkass I'd leave him alone. He's horrible to Grag the robot and they both argue constantly over who's more human despite both being made in a lab by Capt. Future's dad, What's-his-name Newton. It's worse than Data and Lore, except Otho doesn't kill entire colonies for the hell of it.
Here's a badly reproduced illustration from Adventure House's facsimile edition of Captain Future, Star Trail to Glory and we see Otho has been captured by somebody's robot henchmen. Belt? Check! Loafers? Of course! Pants? Hell, no!
I thought he was wearing a kicky pair of cuffed socks but those are manacles. I am disappoint.
To make things so, so much worse there's this rather disturbing exchange which explains way too much about the Captain.
That's also not the first time he'd ever reminisced about being spanked by a robot. Notice the typo where they left out the word "embarrassed" right before "silence."
Spanking robots. I am so stealing that.
