The Adventures of Tintin is widely regarded as a classic of comic art, but some issues are rightly criticized for racial stereotyping and a romanticized view of colonialism. This is hardly surprising, however, as the series dates back to the 1930s.

There are also several animated television series. The best known is a French-Canadian co-production with 39 half-hour episodes.

You want to really hit the Americans here. Roll back the copy right to a reasonable period. Are all Disney cartoons copyright free.

Yes, that’s true. Especially in the French-speaking parts of Europe with Hergé, André Franquin, Albert Uderzo, Moebius, Peyo, Edgar P. Jacobs, Pierre Christin, Jean-Claude Mézières and many others.

I might post a few more to this community sometime.

Thanks for sharing this. Subscribed. 👍🏻

While I’m a fan of Tintin (and Asterix, Valerian, and others), I don’t think “Hey, this century old European comic is good!” is sending the message that OP thinks it is.

I have heard in the internet this comic is full of racist things. How much truth is there in it?

It is a product of its time and occasionally filled with pretty racist themes. It’s also very good.

I agree! It’s one of my all time greats. Also it aged so well.

Fun fact, I’ve got the dog tattooed on me

Edit: I especially meant the style aged well I do know about the first comics being very racist

Back in my days I use to record them on VHS and watch them again when there was nothing interesting on TV (that is, 90% of the time). I finished knowing by heart any single lines if dialogs. Yeah, I was that weirdo creep at school.

Except for “Les cigares du pharaon”, where I didn’t record the good channel 😟. I passed my whole childhood with that hole in the story.
