Original Title: “Tintin And The Savages”

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

When last we left Tintin, he was being ushered into a gangster den that he thought was very possibly a police station, because Tintin is a fucking idiot. Anyway, the gangster, Bobby Smiles (the “number two gangster in America”), offers Tintin a lot of money to kill Al Capone. Tintin says “heavens no, I came […]

As this site has recently gotten StumbledUpon and Dugg a bit in the last week or so, I felt it apropos to put up a sort of semi-site-index page in my Klassics bar, available here. Regular readers: this probably affects you very little, unless you want to go back through the archives and see if […]

COMIC TALKING POST: “Ultimate Fantastic Four” and also some other stuff

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

For example, I love funnel cake. Funnel cake is delicious, especially with whipped cream and […]

At least it’s not “Tintin In The Congo.” At least.

I recently got a couple of the new collected editions of the Tintin books that Little, Brown are putting out – nice thick hardcovers, three Tintin books collected per volume. They’re a bit smaller than normal Tintin books, but Herge’s art is still gorgeous and easy to appreciate even at the slightly reduced size. But, […]

Go Look At It!

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, The Internets

It’s not often I come across any creative work of which I am immediately jealous – most times I just admire things that I think are good intensely, rather than actually wishing I had created them because they are just that good. The last time, I think, was “Holiday” by Green Day, for which I […]
