The Final Say

Monday, December 10th, 2007

From Balthazar B, really the only sensible thing to say in the debate on whether or not Hergé was racist or not. True.

At the request of Barry, here’s an attempt to a translation. I’m not really sure about this semi-patois caricature, so if somebody can review this translation, be my guest :

Black boy : “It too late, my friends. Him Hergé him already dead ! We no can kill him !”

Chinese boy (Tchang) : “I did tell you so.”

Jewish man : “Ooh ! Him starting to blow me up, that Chinook !”

Black man : “Him lemonface only claim him so clever because him be on picture with him Tintin !”
