Linear time is a convenient illusion.

@samim Oooh, it's Gwenpool powers!
@samim loving these comics. There are at least 3 books in French.
@samim I would have loved to boost this comic, as I find it very funny! Unfortunately it does not have an image description 😔

@samim I don't know how to take this toot...

You should credit the author : french illustrator Pascal Jousselin - comic is named "Imbattable" - Dupuis éditor

@atelihelene check the toot thread, the credit is right there in the next toot. I'm new to mastodon and just learning that apparently there is a image attribution tool as well.

@samim @atelihelene

I think what you did is illegal, you need consent from the authors to share this.

@jcolomb @samim @atelihelene if it is from a book with lots of similar content then no, sharing one is fine. And, the complete book was linked to. I just need to work out how to retrieve it from an upcoming panel? ;)
@jcolomb @samim @atelihelene by one, I meant some, doh 🤦‍♂️
@samim That’s hilarious! Ordered a copy, that’ll solve a Christmas present problem.
@samim this is messing with my head

@samim
Oh yeah, time. This big ball of wibbly wobbly... timey wimey... stuff.

Those are great.

@samim Also known as "Imbattable" in France and Belgium :)
@samim Brilliant! What is time or place? Anywhere that Pascal Jousselin decides.
@samim Nice idea! Who made it?
@steeph @samim I believe that’s from Mister Invincible: Local Hero by Pascal Jousselin
@samim Still very nice cartoon.
@samim
Do you know from where this drawing is coming (book reference) ?
There is a belgium french speaking cartoon similar (named "imbattable")
I wonder if this is an official translation.

@samim

I found it, it's Mr. Invicible cartoon

Excellent

Thanks for this.

@samim I love this. Such synchronicity - I was just thinking about non-linear time.

@samim
The "Imbattable" comics by Pascal Jousselin are available in original french and in several translations (e.g. German "Unschlagbar, 1. Gerechtigkeit und frisches Gemüse")

Highly recommended!

@samim There’s a puzzle/platform video game “Four Sided Fantasy” that’s full of this kind of thing. The central mechanic is that you can push a button to temporarily freeze the screen from scrolling and make the geometry toroidal (so you can exit one direction and come back in from the opposite side). Highly recommended. #VideoGames
@samim Das ist so genial. Absolut klasse 👍 😅
@samim It's just a bit out of sync 😅👍
@samim Haha! Very smart! 😃
Unschlagbar! 1: Gerechtigkeit und frisches Gemüse

Lustiger Superhelden-Comic für Kinder ab 10 Jahren mit interaktiven Geschichten und vielen Überraschungen

@samim

thanks for this - just bought (online) all three of them. I´m very much looking forward to "justice and fresh vegetables", hahaha

@samim I was very happy to discover #MrInvincible #comics via the English edition, it’s definitely a delight, no matter your age.
@samim the believe of it being an illusion is actual an illusion of your perception.
@samim "eventual consistency". :-)
@samim there’s now three comics book of “imbattable” and they are all excellent. Jousselin is using all the physical possibilities of the comic strip (as an object, as a layout) to create stories full of tricks and paradoxes. If you like that genre (comic strips that escape their format), check out Marc-Antoine Mathieu.

@samim

from __future__ import cat
@samim the actual printed comics is even better, in some stories the pages are interacting between each other through holes in paper
@samim This has me thinking of light echoes for some reason, since they can produce an illusion of superluminality.
@samim this goofy shitpost did it better

@samim Yes! These are great comix.
Mr Invincible!
Unbesiegbar!
Imbattable! (the original)

Imbattable Series by Pascal Jousselin

Mr. Invincible: Local Hero, Super-héros de proximité (Imbattable #2) und Le cauchemar des malfrats (Imbattable #3)

@samim Yes, Mr. Invincible (German: "Unschlagbar") is the best superhero 🥰
@samim Thank you for posting these cartoons. I've now added the book to my wish list. I LOVE this sort of thing!
@samim love this Samin, thank you for sharing 💯 #neuroscience #Autism #worldcup
@samim
Thanks for the intro to Mr Jousselin. These are terrific!
@samim non-linear time is also an illusion, and far more convenient ;-)
@samim Somebody's been reading Terence McKenna again.
@samim me and my kids love this book ❤️
