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
 
Youd think these people would have relevant stuff to worry about rather than 75 year old books.I bet the Daily Mail starts a "save Tin tin campaign.

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

If you don't like tin tin, you will have to contend with bad juju, thank fuck for quinine, i never leave home without it

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.

asterix was quality, never liked tintin, maybe because i get told i look like him.
