Human Husbandry In Tube Cages
A few years ago ErosBlog offered advice to bug-eyed aliens who capture human specimens for breeding stock:
“Sorry, bug eyed monster, but you’ll never get them to breed if you keep them in separate cages.”
It turns out that an internal panel in that pulp comic (Amazing Adventures #2) shows our prime human breeding stock still locked up in individual tube-style cages, where they have been moved from the prison-style cells shown on the magazine cover. But the dramatic reveal is that these bug-eyed monsters have a special tentacle-equipped husbandry robot to manage the breeding of these high-value human prisoners. Sadly, there’s no panel showing the intricate technological procedures by which our virile hero and nubile heroine will be forced to procreate:
The great radio dramatist Himan Brown once argued that there is no monster you can show that will match the monster listeners create in their imaginations. Could it perhaps be that something similar is true the insemination droids that readers create in theirs?
