That’s some halo the front one has. He must be like Supersaint — Megasaint.

“Down in the valley of the Jolly Green Giant!” Here, he’s turned nasty, and so’s the wife.

I wouldn’t have taken these creatures for mammals, but the lady’s boobies suggest that I am wrong.

With kudos to the South Park crab people.
Tree people. Tree people.
Taste like bark. Talk like people.

@Phil: I believe the botanical term is extrafloral nectaries.

I’ve actually read this book. Been trying to remember WTF the title was, and google for “book with plant people in it” just was not working.
And, there is a “sex” scene in it.

This is what happens when Ents learn metalworking.
(Yes, they walk! There’s footsteps… er, trunksteps… in the snow behind them.)

I embiggened the picture and it looks as if the foliage is a sort of leaf-anorak they wear over their brown scaly bodies. What exactly happened to Arcimboldo-guy’s left arm is a mystery. His wife thinks she’s Beyonce.

Their only weakness was… hedge clippers!

Yes, my name is Sun Drinker, and that’s my wife, Pea…um….Drinker.

SPRING BREAK ENTS GO WILD

I don’t know about all those leaves being clothing – their faces, hands, and forearms are all green and leafy.
Some of the leafy stuff does look to be clothes… which is actually kind of disturbing, since they look to be the same basic shape as their own leaves, and aren’t brown like they fell off on their own. Do the glowy-eyed forest idiots (who keep their leaves even in winter, despite being deciduous) strip the still-living branches off their defeated victims, transplanting them onto their own bodies for added warmth (!? [Goddammit, scifi, make sense for once]) and sugar production while training their growth with stitches?

Good points, Jerk of all Trades. Clearly these creatures must be tree-based equivalents of Ed Gein, wearing the flesh of others of their kind as clothing.

“It rubs the lotion on its leaves…”

The sword held by the male?(I dont see his stamen and refuse to look more closely for it) is a bit crooked. Otherwise a masterpiece.

I don’t know; the texture of their stems says “chicken leg” to me, not “bark”…

Skin: made of leaves.
Hair: made of leaves.
Clothing: also leaves.
Clothing fasteners: also leaves.
Dear artist, they’re plant people, WE GET IT ALREADY.

What strikes me as particularly odd is that plant people don’t have any particular business on a glacier. If plant people were to go to a glacier, they’d probably end up several different kinds of dead.

A plant person calling himself “sun drinker” is like a human calling himself “life eater.”
I guess plant guy lost an arm to a menacing cow or something and now it’s growing back?
@Anna T., wherever you may be: I don’t think that’s a glacier, there appear to be snow-covered trees in the background and also possibly the foreground?
July 17th, 2020 at 7:02 am
Half plant, half reptile, all stupid.
With that giant sun so close, how does the snow and ice even last?
July 17th, 2020 at 12:58 pm
The rope must have come from the hemp people.

Leafy armor, while incurring a penalty to Armor Class, gives a bonus to movement which is neutralized by having tree roots for feet.

You’d think they’d at least dress up as evergreens. Unless there’s a whole stash of deciduous leaves kept in (ahem) mint condition back at base their clothing would go brown and fall off by lunchtime.

@GSS ex-noob: I guess it’s another one of those covers taken through a zoom lens.
@fred: a much more relaxed bunch of plant people.
July 17th, 2020 at 10:42 pm
So if you eat one of these people, are you a vegan, an omnivore or a cannibal?
July 18th, 2020 at 12:12 am
@GSS xn: That’s not the sun, that’s an above view of a glass of Sunny Delight.
@Tor: If they taste like chicken, you have a problem.
July 18th, 2020 at 2:43 am
@THX: Of course! Now it (sort of) makes sense.
July 18th, 2020 at 6:22 am
Yes, but what is the role of the Purple Stuff in all this?
July 18th, 2020 at 6:37 pm
Green and purple being opposite colors, I can only imagine Purple Stuff is what the front plant person has the sword drawn against.
