Silla

Alien musician of the planet Lavoris II, from the humor article "Extracts from the Galactick Almanack: Music Around the Universe," by Larry M. Harris (pseudonym of Laurence M. Janifer) and published in the June 1959 issue of Galaxy. It was illustrated by MAD magazine's own Don Martin.

An artist and anti-scientist, she inspired scientist Timmis Calk to create a Student Orchestra in an attempt to woo her. It had the opposite of it's intended effect as Silla took the love of another, stating, "You are not a musician, but a scientist. Any musician would have refrained from growing his orchestra from seeds."
