This is from Tintin’s Tibet album, serialised in the late 50’s.

Me, I love this scene, because it’s so ‘anti-Tintin’ in the traditional sense, in that he always strives to be so polite and genteel.

Digging further in to the album, however, I find it fascinating how author George Remi constructed this major episode as a sort of love-letter to a beloved Chinese friend of his from decades before. (see WP entry for more)

I love how professeur Tournesol is totally oblivious.

“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let’s open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN’s. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = “Bandes dessinées”
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = “Ligne claire”

Please DO: 1) follow good ‘netiquette’ and 2) the four simple rules of lemm.ee (this instance) when posting and commenting. As for extracts, they’re fine, but don’t link to pirated downloads.

MODERATION: If you happen to make a mistake upon the above, then please don’t worry about it. We’ll likely just laugh it off and let you know. OTOH, obvious bad-faith and hostile efforts will not be tolerated here.
