The real puzzle here is why a 1980 edition isn’t a film tie-in with Tavernier’s adaptation, “Death Watch”. (One of two SF movies that year with Robbie Coltrane and Max Von Sydow in.)
So one of this guy’s eyes is a wee tiny black and white TV showing porno (checks date) VHS tapes? He looks creepy enough without that. Particularly the fivehead, as @B’man said.
@Tat: It is puzzling that it wasn’t reissued with a movie-related cover.
@Dr. Bob: That does explain it. In the redacted picture, Space Sheep seems to have a terrible snarl in its back fur.

The woman on the little screen seems to have had trouble taking her pullover off – she has her knitwear tangled round her head.

Nekkid chick AND a techie TV. Well, that covers most of the 80’s demographic they were aiming for.

It’s amazing the images a really good Etch-A-Sketch artist can produce.
