Celebrate Tintin!
When I was in grade school we took weekly trips to the school library, as a class, to get our fix of reading material and each week the boys (who are all I can speak for) would always a rush for a specific few titles - a series on classic monsters, a huge tome on old cars and any or all of the Tintin series. Seeing this article in the Guardian Blog brought back memories of trying to speed walk (as running is not allowed in the library) to the fiction shelf where the Tintin books were kept.

I absolutely love Tintin. As a child my brother and I collected all the books and we would read them constantly, until our parents decided to get rid of them when we moved one time. It was a sad day. I recently got a hold of the Explorers on the Moon pop up book, and a friend gave me the unfinished Tintin and Alpha Art. Both worth digging up if you’re a fan of Tintin and Herge.
