In response to Friday’s post on race issues in the Tintin comics, a kind reader sends this link to a parody site called Tintin and the War in Iraq, featuring General Alcazar as President Bush, Captain Haddock as a UN inspector, Sheik Abdullah as Osama Bin Laden, etc. The only misstep is that Tintin is presented as a French (rather than Belgian) citizen. Still, it’s really quite good. Have a look.
