An article/review

about one of my childhood heroes (and his intelligent human)...

Brussels Sprout: Would Tintin appeal to American taste?

I don't think he would appeal to Americans. He's too nice. Westerners, even children, like their heroes rough and tough.

I read as much Tintin as I could when I was young. I loved the cartoon, but I couldn't read French well so I tried to find it in translation when I could. Still, it helped my French a bit. Does that mean I can give Tintin credit for the smattering of French I have? Hmmm...
