May is very clueless throughout this entire issue. She doesn’t realize that she’s been kidnapped, thinks nothing of Otto having 4 mechanical arms, and her only worry is that she might miss The Beverly Hillbillies.
I think this was back when May’s cluelessness about Doc Ock was funny instead of annoying, mostly because they didn’t try and milk any dramatic stuff out of it. Between May’s insistence that Otto is a polite gentleman and JJJ’s growing stress at the whole situation, the first annual is probably the single funniest story in the Ditko/Lee era, at least to me.
