Titin grossed me out as a child so much, i would rip out the pages from the Billik茅ns i used to read as a child. they were produced in Argentina and introduced me to Mafalda and the wonderful photo essay aesthetics popularized by the publishing house Dorling-Kindersely.
i have hated TinTin since forever and use it as a measure for not just how racist a person is, but anti-Black.
cannot tell you how disappointed i am that Stephen Spielberg and Peter Jackson made a whole ass movie about Tintin
I picked up this copy of a Tintin comic in a waiting room. My first time reading Tintin as an adult. These comics are racist as f**k. The coloniser gaze is everywhere. As a child, I felt it but could never articulate it.
