Also Tintin was literally anti-Bolshevik propaganda for the Little 20th Century magazine, and the first adventure was where Tintin goes to immediately-post-revolution Moscow and discovers that the wonders of communism are a mere front for "a stinking slum" http://www.blackkat.net/tintin/pdf/01%20-%20In%20The%20Land%20Of%20The%20Soviets.pdf

But all of this tends to change after The Blue Lotus, which is where the picture I posted comes from. Herge began paying more attention to the actual cultures of the places Tintin went I'd also say that the political content is more varied than people might think: the satire on the international arms trade in The Broken Ear, the sympathy for indigenous people driven off their land by the army on behalf of oil companies in Tintin in America. By the time of Tintin and the Picaros in the mid-70s, the famous ending suggests that Tintin hasn't been able to effect meaningful change for normal people at all.

I think translation were published on last pages of some pulpy detective books along with another comic that I don't remember the name of.

Amphigory posted:Oo, I thought all colds were coronaviruses - what causes the other 60%? It's 10ish% coronaviruses. I don't know where they got 40. The really big one is rhinovirus, with influenza being number 2. There's a host of others. Most respiratory viruses can present as a cold if your immune system can handle them.

We have figured it out a while ago, we just refuse to do the stuff to stop/reverse it. Tack on the upcoming resource and water wars and I don't think One Weird Trick™ will get humanity out of this.

I just mean maybe one of our branches somewhere along the way managed to do something about it all. For us, we can at least laugh about the little things until we burn, like this totally legitimate email from the USPS I got a while back.

Were they written as propaganda or where they just written reflecting the authors exposure to propaganda? How many other adventures were 'anti Bolshevik propaganda?
