Cool. But I do not recall a purple llama on the show, just a monkey. Is that something new for just this issue?

Long story! 
In the episode from Season 3, "The Great Carrot Rebellion", they introduced a purple guy named "Willoughby the Llama". It was originally supposed to be a REAL PURPLE LLAMA, but after it attacked Jonathan Harris, they rewrote it for a human. 

This was meant to be a new cast member! So in this script, probably written during Season 3 but left to be used in season 4, they brought him back. It seems, though I can't be certain, that they did mean to make him a recurring character. He's got odd reality-bending psychic powers that come in real handy to get them into strange situations. 

And then, since we don't have to worry about rogue Llamas on our comic book set, the studio asked us to make it a real llama (I'd originally drawn the guy from the show in this scene, and had to change it to the quadruped you see here). 

And there you have it! Real behind-the-scenes stuff. :D
