He's a robot so what difference does it make if he is shown with nipples or not? The images come from a manga serial written for six year old children! Since Astro Boy is a robot and not a real person it might be considered humorous to show Astro Boy with nipples that dispense a beverage since he should not have nipples at all! If some one could please translate the word balloons it may make more sense. I for one am looking forward to more information re: this story as it is not available in any language other than Japanese and is little known outside of Japan and to Astro Boy fans like us!

I personally find it unnecessary and for what I read, even the japanese don't liked that mangá.[/QUOTE]
I feel that looking at this small section of the serial, it is like taking something out of context. That is why, I for one, would like more information re: this particular manga story. Yes, historically the story did prove unpopular, I am still curious to see more; even if for some these few panels are sufficient.
