I’m curious to see how I find the special, since I don’t think I’ve ever read any serious chunk of Tintin — I’m hoping it will both educate and entertain me.

I love biographies of creative people, so I found it informative and interesting: my Wife is a big Tintin fan, and I get the impression that she really didn’t need so deep an analysis of whys and wherefores. Why spoil the fun with politics, religion, and personal angst? :0)

I was pleased that they spoke briefly about composition, and just how much we Cartoonists think about and strive for in creating ‘funny’ pictures. This only lasted a minute or two, though, and I definitely would have loved more analysis of the artwork.

Visually pleasing! I just wish that I had taped it.
