“Every worthwhile artist has their Moebius phase,” according to a theory.
I found the first pic in a blog, and the rest of the story in Heavy Metal magazine #267, from January 2014. Here she be:

I’d never heard of this Italian artist before, but am loving his art (and yes, he has his own style as well). There’s a bit more info on him over at Lambiek.
Seems to me that she used her influence with the alien / plant to get him released, but as a penalty, he was converted to a strange ibis-type bird. Or something like that.
I was wondering about those blonde tufts.
That makes sense, thanks. He’ll do better as an ibis.
Lol, truth.
Btw, note his pink headband in addition to the blond tufts.
Oh I noted it’s similarity to the vine ribbons holding him in captivity but hadn’t realized that was his bandana! Thanks
