No, this isn't about the movie (haven't seen it). Tintin was one of my favorite childhood book series; I don't know how I stumbled on it. Probably randomly picked one up at the Bookmobile (does anyone else remember Bookmobiles? they saved my life) and was instantly hooked. Herge absolutely influenced my drawing style and made me want to travel. Via Chemin faisant (again!), found this fun slide show by Lev Grossman about traveling and Tintin. From the intro:
Some people were inspired to travel by atlases. Some people, by maps. But for some, nothing gave them the travel bug like the adventures of Tintin.
they are truly fabulous illustrations......what an inspiring idea!!
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I've requested it from the library; thanks for the tip.
