Keep in mind that Tintin used to be published in a conservative catholic magazine.

pre-1945, normies were just like Sup Forums

>Did you hear that, Isaac? The end of the world! What if it's true...?
>(not gonna bother adapting the accent) He! He! It would be good business Salomon! I owe 50000 Francs to my suppliers...now I won't have to pay them!

Also keep in mind that the Shooting Star comic came out while Belgium was still occupied by the Nazis.

It's not just being catholic. Hergé was a nazi collaborator and only got off scott free because his post-war publisher had ties with the resistance.

Back when the world was still good

truly OUR GUY

>Hergé was a nazi collaborator
Hergé got off "scott-free" because he wasn't really a collaborator, just a guy who wanted to keep doing his job, same as pretty much everyone back then.
The Sceptre of Ottokar managed to sneak anti-Nazi messages into the narrative under the noses of the censors.
Given how later Tintin books went, it's clear that Hergé either wasn't racist or became more enlightened (he was ashamed of Tintin in the Congo). Even in older books you could see that he wasn't as bigoted as his peers.

he was a real jew in the first version.

The main antagonist in much of the franchise is Rastapopoulos, a Greek.
What does that say about Herge.

what did Hergé mean by this?

Herge is a stinkin fuckin Turkroach

...

Is this from Tintin in Libya?

What did Peyo mean by this?

Tintin in Congo also has anti-colonialist messages.

Brilliant way to take a well-deserved stab at women yet avoiding angering the feminazis.

He wasn't a collaborator. A conformist at most.
Take in account the evolution of the series, he worked on Tintin from age 21 in a catholic right-wing newspaper fighting against the commies, to age 76 self-published and fighting for the revolution in Latin America.

...

What's funny is the little difference in this version.

or making fun of it?

6 million.

Obviously he is.
Strongman Alcazar is controlled by his wife and the revolution accomplished nothing beyond a change of leaders.
Herge always was making fun of his current day politics, ie Broken Ear is a parody of the Chaco War, Sceptre is about Germany invading Austria, etc.

literally Bernie Madoff

>Flight 714
>Everything about it

What did he mean?

He was really into aliens, bigfoot, mind reading, psychoanalisis and other pseudosciences bullshit.

he was jelly of Philippe Druillet.

>Hergé got off "scott-free" because he wasn't really a collaborator, just a guy who wanted to keep doing his job, same as pretty much everyone back then.
Funny that he and his colleagues doing the same job got arrested as collaborators and he's the only one who got away due to the intervention of Raymond Leblanc, while six of the others got sentenced to death and the remaining ones to prison.

They were cartoonists working for collaborator newspapers. Even if they were Rexistes, and Jamin was one, getting life sentences or death penalties for drawing cartoons is an exaggeration.
They were liberated years later.

>« Quelqu'un qui s'est bien conduit à titre personnel, mais qui n'en est pas moins demeuré un anglophobe évoluant toujours dans la mouvance rexiste. Il illustrait bien la passerelle qui reliait l'esprit scout primaire et la mentalité élémentaire des rexistes : goût du chef, du défilé, de l'uniforme… Un maladroit plutôt qu'un traître. Et candide sur le plan politique » William Ugeux, décembre 1945

Herge, a dumb rather than a traitor. And naive in politics.
