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.

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.

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

My local library has probably close to the full run of these so I read most all of them growing up and while they are a product of their time I have such good memories of them.

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.

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.

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
