TintinFSNB-03.jpgIn 1981 I spent a few days in a hospital in Bruxelles, memorable for two reasons, the televisions in the patient commons room was where I saw an episode of "Dallas" for the first time, and I shared a room with an elderly illustrator from the Hergé works, and learned a little bit about Tintin and the production of BDs in Bruxelles.

In a catty moment I remarked to MB that Ian Buruma may have "learned about Indians" from Tintin during his childhood.

Still, I like Tintin, if only for Snowy, a dog with a point of view.
