Anyone read the novel 'Tintin in The New World' by Frederic Tuten? I read it when it came out around '93, remember enjoying it, but couldn't tell you a thing about it now.

All I remember is that he gets laid.

Haven't read that WOM.

AG, Le Petit Moulinsart in Montreal isin the Old Town on St-Paul just below Notre-Dame basilica, good place to stop for a Belgian Beer or a waterzooi in winter.

Tubby, Tintin au Pays des Soviets was the other early one. Yes indeed Hergé's politics are not that easy to pigeon-hole, certainly a lot of gross period colonialism but also some criticism of things like western arms trade in Latin America and the treatment of Native Americans in the US (which are shown shoved aside to make room for new cities and natural resource exploration).

Hmm. Though in the same book Native Americans themselves are displayed as dumb, superstitious and violent.

I'll have to give that Moulinsart a try next time I'm in town, Linus.

It will be good see you there AG.

If anyone else is coming through Montreal, give me a holler.

Well worth a visit, the next time you're in the Loire darlings.

When I was young, I came across a couple of interesting books in the local library, which were adaptations of Tintin movies that had been made in France. These are 'Tintin and the Mystery of the Golden Fleece' (1961) and 'Tintin and the Blue Oranges' (1964) although I don't think either has ever been shown on British TV.
