Not my favorite Tintin, but still very enjoyable.

Left a crocodile to die and later a massacre of crocs,killed an innocent monkey for trick,Massacre of antelopes for humor,true colonial environment showing the white superiority over blacks blatantly.
A boa constrictor in Africa?? And that’s killed too,elephant hunting for their tusks.Blowing up a Rhinoceros with dynamite for its horn,killing a wild buffalo because it tried to defend itself.
Although the depiction of soviets was bad as well,it had a bit comical sense to it but this one is just not for this age,this is a twisted one & it could not have aged badly.

I guess i read the original version in black and white with no censoring so i am not sure what has been done to rectify it in later releases but i don't think they can salvage it.

I love Tintin but this one was pretty painful to read ngl

La relectura de Tintín de momento no le está sentando bien. De momento es más infantil y falto de contenido de lo que recordaba de adolescente. Gráficamente es precioso. Pero poco más.

Just read the most racist and ridiculous of all the tintin comics. Very bad.



Tintin au Congo n'a jamais été mon aventure préférée mais elle reste la première que j'ai connu; elle conservera donc toujours un caractère spécial pour moi.

Such vile, complete, and deeply degrading racism. I can't believe I grew up in a culture that "innocently" circulates and even celebrates such shit.
