I've been planning on starting to read Tintin for the first time but have had trouble finding copies in book shops.


I now have had it confirmed by a source that Chener stock issues so I clearly didn't look very hard.


And I don't think there is anything particularly politically unpleasant about it is there?

I believe that there were some rather stereotypical portrayals of Africans and Jews in a couple of the books

The latter probably the dodgier especially given the time and what was going on. I'm inclined to think the former is just a cartoonish stereotyping, no worse than that seen in the Tarzan films of the time, but doubtless will get into hot water for saying so.


Chinless fops anyone?

    • The council are really backward in their approach to management of grounds etc.  They will cut grass and mow through wild flowers / it seems continue to use pesticides according to some observations posted here.   Whilst having green policies food recycling etc blocking roads installing Bill n Ben flower pots in roads causing all sorts of heavy traffic in certain roads.  And installing new LED lights etc when we have adequate functioning lights already.   The impact on wildlife and quality of life for all is devastating.
