Walter Moers, One Day You Will Be The Death Of Me!

Walter Moers, one day you will be the death of me!

Instead of giving us new information on Castle of Dreaming Books, he announced yet another book that was on nobody's radars.

The One-Horned Squirrel that wanted to live backwards (Twenty Zamonian Flables) will be released on September 4th.

Ein Einhörnchen, das lieber rückwärts leben möchte; ein Werwolf, der ein Wiewolf sein will; eine fleischfressende Pflanze, die gern Vegetarierin wäre; zwei Vampirgeierbrüder, die Aas verachten – etliche Bewohner des Kontinentes Zamonien haben Probleme mit ihrer Identität und daher kein leichtes Leben. Aber ob Dummwolf oder Schlaufuchs, ob Schmiegehäschen oder Halbtagsfliege, ob Froschling oder Buchling, sie alle finden ihren Weg in dieser Welt, in der die Fantasie und der Humor völlig außer Kontrolle geraten sind. Zwanzig zamonische Flabeln* über diverse Spielarten zamonischen Daseins aus der Feder von Bestsellerautor Hildegunst von Mythenmetz, kongenial übersetzt, illustriert und mit einem Nachwort – »Humor ist ein ernstes Geschäft« – von Walter Moers. *Die »Flabel« bezeichnet eine humorvoll-anarchische zamonische Kurzgeschichte und kennt, im Gegensatz zur klassischen Tierfabel, keinerlei Moral.

A One-Horned Squirrel that wants to live backwards; a Whowolf that wants to be a Howwolf; a carnivorous plant that wants to be a vegetarian; two vampire vulture brothers that despise carrion - several inhabitants of the continent Zamonia have issues with their identity and a hard life because of that. Whether Dumb Wolf or Clever Fox, Snuggle Bunny or Half-Day-Fly, Frogling or Bookling, they all find their way in this world where fantasy and humour have completely escalated.

Twenty Zamonian flables* about certain varieties of Zamonian lifeforms penned by bestselling novelist Hildegunst von Mythenmetz, congenially translated, illustrated and provided with a postscript - "humour is serious business" - by Walter Moers.

*A flable is a humorous-anarchistic Zamonian short story and knows, contrary to the classic fable, no moral.

Time for niche posting:

New Walter Moers Zamonia novel arrived yesterday

It's over 600 pages with lots of great drawings

It's a Mythenmetz (Yarnspinner) novel, but since it's not the sequel to the Buchhaim books I'm looking forward to find out how it ties in.

Some Rumo with absolutely no reference

I'm making shit up and my pretty good skill at drawing furries is useful once again

after like 6 months i should probably make an about page but really, all y'all need to know is that i need more zamonian lesbians and ladies in general, love friftar and gornab but would also push them into a bottomless pit if the chance was given and have tons of zamonia-related drafts on my twitter which i never post bc only i find them funny or understand them

Oh my god @ the Russian cover of Rumo

There is so little in this picture but also So Much.

I don't know if Rumo is tiny or if Ticktack is just a Huge As Fuck guy? And Ticktack is decisively human as well, giving HUGE Doctor Doom vibes? This is clearly meant to be the final fight between them in the Theatre of Beautiful Death with the sparks and the blue rain, but it also looks like a meadow on the ground with some volcanoes in the background?

And while I have questions, I also have a huge amount of respect for this, even though the original cover and all versions with Moers's art are perfect to me.

Sooo, i really like general ticktock, i decided to make some fanart

i really love ,,rumo" and general ticktock is by far my favorite character
