Tintin and I

There's not enough Tintin in the US. He's popular all over the world, but unfortunately, not nearly enough in this country. If you don't know who I'm talking about, then you should bow your head in shame. Blistering barnacles!

Tintin is the boy reporter who has adventures all over the world with his dog, Snowy. His adventures have been chronicled in twenty-three graphic novels (see Amazon link here). This is some of the most well-crafted comics you'll ever read - plus it's kid-friendly to boot.

So get your act together and first go check out the official Tintin website. Next, watch the PBS documentary on P.O.V. called "Tintin and I", which is all about Tintin's creator Herge, and the impact of his work. It's showing on Tuesday, 7/11 at 11 pm. Just Tivo it, you won't regret it.
