Michael Furler

happy 30th anniversary to one of my favorite Nintendo games

The covers of three comics, "Child Of Wrath", "Bunny Punch: Meal Replacement" and "A Tomato In Chains".

Did you know you can read my short comics for free or even pay, if you want? On michaelfurler.itch.io or michaelfurler.gumroad.com 🐌🐇🍅

It came down to how it sounded ("die Tomate" was better than "eine"). I speak German too.

147 Knowledge 1: Helena is looking outside the classroom from her desk, speaking in someone else’s voice. „Look at these children in their cage“. 2: There’s a sparrow jumping on the window sill. „Isn’t it weird humans spend all their time inside trying to learn about the outside?“ 3: The sparrow flies away. „They could join us and learn just as much.“ Helena’s deskmate is saying „Why are you pretending to be a bird?“ 4: Helena tells him „Because birds can’t talk. I learnt THAT in class, though“.

Knowledge, Helena 147.

A sticker of detective columbo, with signature cigar and "one more thing" pose. He's standing on a cloud that says "öppis no…", which is Swiss German for one more thing.

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

If you see this post a Guybrush (or any Monkey Island character).

1: Helena and a classmate are sitting in class with books in front. Helena is distracting her neighbour. „Would you call teacher if my books exploded?“ „I guess so.“ 2: Helena has a huge head that’s floating from her body! „Would you call teacher if my head swelled up?“ „We need to study.“ 3: Helena is a dragon, spitting a lil bit of fire. „Would you call teacher if I turned into a dragon?“ Classmate’s standing up, yelling „Miss egli!“ 4: Classmate and teacher are looking sternly at the dragon Helena. „And I’m not even a dragon … yet.“

Preemptive, Helena 146.

1: Helena is walking from the playground while everyone else is playing. „Seeing as the yard’s so crowded… I’m making my way to class early.“ 2: Everyone is still playing, not noticing. „I’m showing teacher I’m doing my best!“ 3: Helena has returned to the playground. Everyone else is running inside. „Turns out I forgot my satchel.“ 4: To the ring of the bell, Helena walks back in. „Maybe my second best…?“

Intention, Helena 145.

That sounds like something that is so up my alley, omg. TY!

For the longest time I've mistaken that for Gantz … for some reason. TY!

In a fun way or in a horrible way?

I was interested in The Drifting Classroom but only now I've found out it's only 11 volumes, I can get into that :^) TY!

Something didn't click the first time I leafed through Tekkonkinkreet, but maybe I've changed -- Ping Pong has been on my to do list for a long while. TY!

Fumiko Takano's what made me ask for recommendations. Bō ga Ippon came out in German recently and I've been reading that. I'm also waiting for the English language copy of Miss Ruki. And Sunny Sunny Ann looks amazing and after reading Miss Ruki in French, I should definitely keep at it. TY!

When I started with manga as a tween it was easier. The things you read were the ones available at the top of the spiral staircase where you couldn't bring your backpack in Kari's Comic Shop. So thanks for your recoes ♡

Ranma and Sand Land I‘ve read as a wee man! Robo Sapiens I‘ve been interested in since seeing a review (was it yours?). And I wanted to read Eizouken for a long while TY!!

Oh I understand but what I meant was comics from Japan that knowing my work you‘d think I like. I have read what was available to me as a teen, the regulars (Dragon Ball, Ranma, Tenchi Muyo etc).

Hi, I‘d like to read manga but I don’t: Can you recommend me something that I might like? Thank you.

We were a little sad to go but cat did not care (as it gets no food from us).

1: Helena is running to school. „This is my last chance!“ 2: Still running through the neighbourhood. „I can still make it! It’s still early!“ A dog is peaking over a fence. 3: Helena has turned around to pet that dog. „Hey, buddy! What’s your name? I’m Helena! My, what a good dog!“ 4: Helena is sitting by the playground by herself. The jungle gym is overcrowded. „If only there were bad dogs…“

Laika, Helena 144.

Photo of a tricolor cat swooshing by my legs.

Photo of tricolor cat scratching itself.

Dogs are gone, cat is back.

I wish I had a cat to tell me what to feel (an earthquake).

There was an earthquake on the other side of the mountain and I am sad for I didn‘t feel anything.

1: Helena is peaking back through the front door wearing her uniform, but no the satchel is still in the foyer. „Forgot my satchel! Bye, Mom!“ 2: Helena is again peaking through the front door, yelling upstairs. „Forgot to say lunch was delicious! Bye, Mom!“ 3: Helena is in the foyer once more, this time petting King. „Forgot to pet King! Bye mom“ 4: Helena’s mother is holding the door shut with her feet, peaking through the window. „Bye, honey!“

One More Thing, Helena 143.

thank you kc 🥲 Mutts and Horribleville is what paved the way for what we see here today

Once I found a strip reposted. It showed her dad smoking indoors which to a lot of young people seemed a disgusting impossibility.
