As a big Tintin fan, I'm glad I took the time to skim through some of your other posts before responding. Your attitude to literature in general put this post in perspective. I particularly liked your criticism of On The Road.
However I must point out that you are wrong, Tintin in the Congo is Herge's most racist book. It is so racist, the Portugese publishers gave it a new title so they could be racist about their own colony. See this post from my blog: Tintin in AngolaHerge's racism is interesting. It is very much a product of the culture he grew up in and he worked hard at overcoming it. Most of his books from The Blue Lotus onwards show native peoples in a very good light. But you have hit on a glaring exception. Red Sea Sharks is a relatively late book in the cannon (published 1958). Why are the African's depicted so poorly
