Deconstructing Tintin - Pt 1: How Fascism & Colonialism Made the early Tintin with Martin Deck

Martin and Jason deconstruct Tintin, arguably animation's first global role model. But is the intrepid boy reporter guilty as accused: sexist, racist? Are women justifiably under represented in the Tintin canon? Do we admire the curiosity and retreat from the conceits? Was Tintin a visionary, a freedom fighter for whom the Nazi and fascists agendas were non-starters? Is he still the hero he once was, and should parents want to acquaint their children with Tintin's legacy? In this conversation, Martin and Jason share personal views and their knowledge of the Boy Reporter for his first 20 years up to the early 50s.
