But It’s Still Fucking. Tuesday. - Blog Posts

Hell yeah. Time for me to blab about the comic instead of the meme.

Anyone remember this legend of a comic? Tintin, arguably Hergés greatest work.

Action packed, full of mysteries, and humorous, Tintin is one of the greatest comics ever. It’s one of the first stories that got me into analyzation, one of the reasons I love mysteries and puzzles today.

Admittedly, some parts (Mainly Tintin in the Congo and The Blue Lotus) of the comic are rather…Ehh, blunt and straight, racist. It gets really stereotypical at times, Hergé has actually admitted to solely confirming to the stereotypes at the time.

The art style itself is simple but improves over time. There is no variation in the paneling but it gets the job done. The lettering/speech bubbles can be kinda confusing for new readers but you get used to it eventually.

The characters are kinda flat. Fitting to their descriptions with no questions asked, no real backstory for anyone. But this a comic from the 20th century, cut it some slack. They fit well together though, all of them fitting together to make a great cast.

The storylines? That’s the gold. Really intriguing, having plot twists and suspense all the way through. If not for the plot, I probably would’ve stopped reading.

Do I recommend this? Yeah. Will it be hard to read in the beginning? Yes. But stick for the storylines, some peak writing is found there ngl.

I sound like a total nerd for talking about this 😭

this is the mood tonight lads
