Image
The Mantler gives him about 5 good swats, before finishing.

After this, the Mantler makes him do an Indian war dance, and a few other things, as though he were just a marionette. :D

You know I used to say the reason why that green band was there 'to hold his shorts up' but I guess thats not totally true now is it? lol

Hate to see episode where ASTRO BOY seems helpless- even if it is only for a shortwhile
