Hm.  I remember the 4 arms, but not the spots or the bad attitude.  I was never worried about him at all; I remember him as a happy bumbling idiot who would be easy to get away from, worst-come-to-worst.  That Great God Pan of the apple pies, though... *shudder*

And I thought the Hamburglar and Captain Crook were _cool_.  I used to get in trouble at school for pretending to be Captain Crook.  (Yes, specifically for that.  I don't know exactly what their problem was.  I wasn't hitting anyone or taking stuff, just running around saying "Arr matey!"  It was a weird private baptist school; what can I say?)
