Tintim no Congo

The story reflects a simplified view of a complex place, but I wonder what sources or experiences shaped his portrayal. Did he intend to comment on colonial attitudes or just create an exciting adventure?

Some of the stereotypes and attitudes feel outdated or problematic. How do readers reconcile enjoying a classic while critiquing its cultural perspectives?

His curiosity and bravery are inspiring, but I’m curious how much of his personality was shaped by Hergé’s own worldview. What do you think keeps him relevant?
