If you remember the classic adventures of Tintin – better get ready, because he’s coming back! Tintin Reporter - Cigars of the Pharaoh brings the return of the famous reporter, soon on GOG!

Tintin Reporter - Cigars of the Pharaoh is inspired by the fourth volume of Adventures of Tintin, of the same title. On this adventure, Tintin and his faithful puppy, Snowy, embark on a puzzle-filled journey to solve an international drug trafficking case. After meeting with professor Sarcophagus while cruising the Mediterranean sea, the famous Belgian reporter goes on a quest to find the tomb of Pharaoh Kih-Oskh. What are the dark secrets hidden in the tomb? From Egypt to India, passing through Arabia, Tintin and Snowy will end up investigating a gigantic drug trafficking network throughout the Orient.

Soon on GOG!

Really excited!!
Been a fan of the comic books for ages.
And the animated series was great too.

Can't wait to play a game with Tintin in it.

my name is catte: Is it so hard to believe he might have experienced some personal growth in the space of 15 years? In 1946 no one was getting "trheats[sic] of being fired or socially witch hunted" for being racist because racism was very common. That is a completely ridiculous claim and it also does him a disservice for attempting to do better and be better.

BreOl72: From the wiki:
From his early years, Hergé was openly critical of racism.
He lambasted the pervasive racism of U.S. society in a prelude comment to Tintin in America published in Le Petit Vingtième on 20 August 1931, and ridiculed racist attitudes toward the Chinese in The Blue Lotus.

Peeters asserted that "Hergé was no more racist than the next man", an assessment shared by Farr, who after meeting Hergé in the 1980s commented that "you couldn't have met someone who was more open and less racist".

In contrast, President of the International Bande Dessinée Society Laurence Grove opined that Hergé adhered to prevailing societal trends in his work, and that "When it was fashionable to be a Nazi, he was a Nazi. When it was fashionable to be a colonial racist, that's what he was."

Vietnamese-American novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen wrote in 2022, after discussing Tintin's racist elements, that "Hergé’s work is deeply flawed, and yet riveting narratively and aesthetically. I have forgotten all the well-intentioned, moralistic children’s literature that I have read, but I haven’t forgotten Hergé."

I think that says all there is to say to that.
i disagree
one thing is real people
anotherthing is fictional works
or art for that matter
shoud we destroy greco roman art because some statues are nude because it may offend people
i say no

Lodium: Problems only started when Tintin was about to be published in the US starting in the 60's. The American publisher's demands were harsh and hergè accepted under protest. It meant some panels had to be changed, a definite censorship due to outside forces. One reason was, that the publisher had to unmovable opinion that Blacks and Whites could never appear in a comic together, regardless of role.

my name is catte: This demonstrates the opposite of what you've been trying to argue.
not really
i said he was pressured
and that was correct

he got pressured by the publisher in that case
in other cases he got pressured by other people

arrua: So, Tintin started his journalist degree at the age of 12.

Nah, I don´t care about what the author said. Tintin is 25, not 15.

BreOl72: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Crowe

Quote:
Cameron Crowe began writing for the school newspaper and by the age of 13 was contributing music reviews for an underground publication, The San Diego Door.
He began corresponding with music journalist Lester Bangs, who had left the Door to become editor at the national rock magazine Creem, and soon he was also submitting articles to Creem as well as Circus.
Crowe graduated from the University of San Diego High School in 1972 at the age of 15.
On a trip to Los Angeles, he met Ben Fong-Torres, the editor of Rolling Stone, who hired him to write for the magazine.
He also joined the Rolling Stone staff as a contributing editor and became an associate editor.
During this time, Crowe interviewed Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Eagles, Poco, Steely Dan, members of Led Zeppelin and more.
Crowe was Rolling Stone's youngest-ever contributor.

Crowe's first cover story was about the Allman Brothers Band.
He went on the road with them for three weeks at the age of 16; he interviewed the band and the road crew.
End of quote

The movie "Almost Famous" is based on Crowe's autobiography.
This is one of those culture shocks that people can have when looking into old stories.
Nowadays 25 year old's are by many still considered as kids while back in the day by 17 you where expected to start learning a trade and even preparing to start a family.

You very specifically said he was pressured ("trheats[sic] of being fired or socially witch hunted") to remove racism, not to add it. The quote you supplied is an example of him being pressured to add racism, which supports the point I was making and dispels your point.

I hink youre reading too much into a single comment
i made several

and its quite obvious he got pressured by the publisher by those rules
otherwise the storys woudnnt have changed for the US market
Some of the works also changed for other markets

Youre also twisting my comment
This is what i wrote
Lodium: No, he got pressured to f agreed that some of his depictions/texts had been rather racist and regretted drawing/writing them
many people today and bck then even gets trheats of being fired or socially witch hunted if they dont comply with the pressure

Those two ways of writing things are diffrent
First when speaking of herge i said he got pressured

When mentioning fired or socially witch hunted" i said several people back then
now, unless you mean herge is a doppelganger or has several twins
you can stop your fucking attempt to troll

I didnt mean herge speccifically in the last example
i thougth that was quite obvious since
i already mentioned what kind of pressure herge got in two examples
one was from my own memory
with the staw hat trade
the other was the article i quoted and linked towards

It could be the horrible headcold I have right now, but I think you're making even less sense than before.

"Cigars of the Pharaoh" is one of my favorite Tintin stories, so looking forward to seeing a game based on it.
