Tintin reduced
I’m always in for games that include reduction and constraints, such as the one French (?) illustrator (?) Ludo Prieur (?) designed, reducing all Tintin covers to the max, while still maintaining their immediate recognisability. I’m using question marks a-plenty, … Continue reading
Stamps 2021 : Belgium

If you read Dutch and can stand a cantankerous stand towards all things Moulinsart, you should be following A La Recherche Du Tintin Perdu. Recently its anonymous editor discovered a Dutch promotional flexi-disk with an audio version of Tintin’s The … Continue reading
Alzheimer’s also affects heroes
It’s been quite a while since I saw a bonafide ad campaign featuring classic comic heroes, but this one really fits the bill. The Association France Alzheimer wanted to alert people to be aware of the early symptoms of the … Continue reading
