The C.R.E thinks that its Racist and wants it banned they say "it makes black people look like Monkeys and talk like imbociles" which I suppose it does but I cant help but find those pictures funny

I didn't manage it through the whole article, possibly a difficult one. Tintin is ace, but not all his stories translate to modern times

The irony is; that one of the biggest markets for this book was in Congo / Zaire itself- children it seems considered Tintin visiting them an honour.
