NAMBLA IN SPACE?

I've been meaning to do a piece on the over-the-top craziness that was LOST IN SPACE and delve into the strange relationships between Dr. Smith — the mincing saboteur who got the Robinson family lost in the first place — laid-back space chicken Will Robinson, and the unnamed robot since they were the only fully developed characters in the series (okay, I'll give you Don West and, occasionally, Penny Robinson), and while researching I came across this photo:

Over the decades many comments have been made regarding the unitentionally pedophilic overtones of the Will/Smith dynamic, and this photo brought to mind, for me anyway, the cover of a NAMBLA newsletter issue, circa 2099.

Is it just me, or is this creepy as hell? Will looks like he's out of his mind on 'ludes, and Smith...Well, let's just say he looks like he's maneuvering his carrot-topped boy-toy's hand toward his own private "ray-gun" beneath that clipboard.

The "Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!" joke is just too obvious by half...
