Title: Who first implemented the three-breasted character?
Question: I am trying to figure out who implemented the first three-breasted character, as seen in  Total Recall  (1990).  I know someone who says there was such a character in the original  Battlestar Galactica  series but he has no proof to back up his claim.  Does anyone know anything about that, or of any other instances where it might have first happened?
