Actual comic: Tintin vs White Gangsters

So yeah. I'm supposed to be reading up on how to cause cosmic horror to a bunch of grown women and one man playing teenage girls (Call of Cthulhu game) and instead I'm reading Tintin comics.

So far I've learned that Chicago is full of trapdoors to trap unaware Belgian reporters. Trapdoors: Natural predator? This bears exploring.

Anyway, the trigger of this is I made the mistake of falling asleep after thirty hours awake so in-between dreaming about Grover as done by Chuck Palanhiuk, I dreamt about the Tintin cast doing Twilight.

Let's just say Captain Haddock wasn't having with Edward's treatment of Tintin.

I'll choose some of my favourite childhood Tintin comics to show later.

That said, I confess I love them both. I know they're imperfect and I can never truly recommend them, but they were a part of my childhood that even tarnished a great deal in places I still enjoy and read.

Have you read Sfar's graphic novel The Rabbi's Cat? (It's a talking cat! Travelling with a rabbi! In the 30s! Anyway.) At one point, they encounter Tintin in the Congo. It's *really* interesting.

Never heard, but that sounds keen.

It is! Sample pages.

(The gf just reminded me that the Tintin appearance is in v.2, btw.)
