It just implies that Mongor has been doing something equally effective but unprintable with his left hand. Poor Artie.

Although “And I always thought Mongor would be a nice name for a boy” is a line worthy of Joel or Mike.

We all would have, Shaenon, we all would have.

He’s Mongor, Iguana-Man!
He helps out as best he can!
He’s rough and reptilian,
He’s big and Brazilian,
He’s Mongor, Iguana-Man!

It’s really quite rude
When these heroes intrude
Just to break up our fun attacks!
Although we don’t mind ’em
‘Cause Mongor’s behind ’em
To give ’em Brazilian whacks!

If heroes are hunky and ripped,
They’re stripped
And tied to a bed or divan!
They just did the wrong thing
So they get a KLONK-ing
From Mongor, Iguana-Man!

He’s Mongor, Iguana-Man!
He’s part of Doc Narbon’s plan!
He’s strong and he’s scaly,
He reads “Skin Horse” daily!
He’s Mongor, Iguana-Man!

I always liked that line.

Mongor the Iguana Man reminds me of Patty and Selma’s iguana Jub-Jub, so much so that I have to wonder if middle-aged, single, nominally villainous women and iguanas isn’t some sort of trope.
