Tom Michell / 汤姆·米切尔

Tom Michell / 汤姆·米切尔 is the author and first-person figure behind [[ThePenguinLessons|《企鹅课》 / The Penguin Lessons]], as discussed in 138.企鹅课：我在海滩上捡到一位Q老师. The episode presents him as a young English teacher who goes to Argentina in the 1970s, works at [[StGeorgesSchool|St. George’s School / 圣乔治学校]], and rescues an oil-covered [[MagellanicPenguin|Magellanic penguin / 麦哲伦企鹅]] from a beach in Uruguay.

In the wiki, Michell is mainly important as a case of Wild-Animal Rescue Responsibility. He does not know in advance whether cleaning, feeding, transport, attempted release, customs evasion, or school care will help the penguin. His later return to Argentina and rediscovery of old film footage give the story its memory layer: the episode frames writing the book as a delayed fulfillment of a promise to [[JuanSalvadorPenguin|Juan Salvador / 胡安·萨尔瓦多]].
