Tintin

Well we now have Tintin as our PM!
As for Mayo on chips, nothing wrong with that, or tomato sauce but vinager

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

Nope, tartare sauce or gravy for mine...

Tintin is gold. What they should do with stuff that was released so long ago is not modify them but maybe put a PC type of warning label on them with a message 'This material was created in the middle of the 20th century and some of this content may produce offence'. That's not so bloody hard is it?

The modifications of Tintin have been a pretty much ongoing thing in any event. In Cigars of the Pharohs for instance, the first edition had a Rudolph Valentino type movie star character on the movie set that is inadvertently interuppted (a Rastapopolous production of course) by Tintin. In later editions this character was updated to a Kirk Douglas type. Other updates such as cars, planes and trains also appear in various versions. The volume which was most heavily modified was Tintin in America, the only adventure to include a villian that existed in real life (Al Copone).

Early Tintin adventures were not bad but the series really came alive once Haddock and Calculus came into the picture.

I did a "wiki" search, i had no idea the TinTin cartoons dated back to the 1920's.

Great cartoon.

Thomson: Yes, we know nothing in our job!

I loved Tin Tin, awsome comic. I borrowed and read the comics over and over at school, my favourite was King Ottokars Sceptire and I also loved Black Island and Tin Tin in America.
