Who was a fan of this comic?
I'm thinking about collecting all of these- only problem is, they've been made "PC".
They were originally peppered with comments that are now considered racist..

I'm sure there was monkey references in there....

maybe something like "you impudent monkey".

They've been censored? In my edition of Le Lotus Bleu, a character explicitly refers to an asian character as a "dirty chink".

Classic Tin Tin on youtube that is dubbed over by a pair of blokes. Some quite rude stuff but funny all the same.

Sorry doesnt help your want for the comics!

Yeah, i've read about 90% of them :)

The Red Sea Sharks was probably my favourite.

SBS had an interesting doco on Herge about 12 months back.

Tintin (also with a few animated films & talk of a live action one to it's credit) was created by Herge in Belgium

Sadly it looks like Tintin, amongst others, has fallen victim to the PC/racist police.

http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/ ... 062157.ece

Shame people seem to be so over-sensitive these days. As a child I had a toy golliwog as seen in the Noddy books but I certainly didn't become a racist. Takes a lot more than a cartoon character or a kids toy to create one. As well as the 'offences' mentioned in the article I also believe that Snowy has been pictured smoking a cigar at least once so that would need to be changed too of course.

JAS

The way we're going, harking back to our childhoods, I may have to start a thread about Biggles. Another veteran of the PC battle.

Im a fan too, i had quite a lot of them when i was a kid, and i use to borrow them from the school library, even the foreign lauguage versions if the english versions were out. I couldnt read them but i had read them so many times i knew the storey any way.

apparantly there is a movie version on the way, but i dont know if its an animated version or movie, does any body know?

Long live Rastapopolus!!! :lol:

They are still available brand new in Australia at most good book stores - ditto the GREAT Asterix books!

Alternatively E-bay would have heaps of 2nd hand ones

Vinegar on chips is sensational, just ahead of gravy, then sauce. Mayo = homo man milk...
