Well, obviously neither you nor I will buy it, and I doubt that anyone else here will either. It doesn't worry me that a few people who are Tintin collectors will buy it, because that's up to them, not me. They're interested in it, I'm not. They'll read it, I won't. I do not regard a few Tintin readers as being dangerous to the world.

Regarding Tintin being "cruel to animals" (he apparently shoots a rhino?) in the original post: We have a vast number of comics and graphic novels about people shooting other people, and we take that for granted as "entertainment"...but we can't bear to see Tintin shoot a rhino? Very odd. Very odd indeed.   

Anyone seen what happens inside the stockyards to hundreds of thousands of animals? I guess if you did, you might think twice about buying those nice, neatly wrapped packages of meat you purchase at the supermarket.

But it doesn't matter, cos you don't see the violence being done, right? You don't see the blood, you don't hear the screams of pain and terror, you don't see the filth and slaughter...

I know about it, I think about it some, but like most people I'm basically pretty lazy, I like convenience, and I'm habituated to eating a certain amount of meat...so like most people I go ahead and buy the stuff anyway, thereby contributing to institutionalized cruelty to animals on a truly massive scale, and passing on the moral responsibility to someone else.

So I'm not under the illusion that I'm a morally superior enough person to berate some other people over publishing a comic book story where a comic book rhino gets shot.
