Today I would like to share the BBC radio drama version of Tintin and Captain's hilarious phone conversation in The Calculus Affair
Context: They're being recorded but Captain isn't aware, so Tintin's trying to change the convo to stop Captain from giving away their plan
i think the world doesn’t know what it really means to live in a theocratic dictatorship. Let me tell you about our experiences living in the islamic regime of iran.
1. Your parents were born to muslim parents so they’re automatically muslim. You’re automatically a muslim too. You didn’t choose your religion and you can’t opt out of it or you will be executed.
2. The compulsory hijab law makes you a criminal if you choose not to wear hijab even tho you didn’t choose to be a muslim and you don’t consider yourself a muslim but the regime has forced you into that role whether you like it or not. And when you ‘break that law’, they can do with you as they please.
3. little girls as young as 7 yrs old are forced to wear hijab at school even tho the islam itself says the age is 9. and all the schools are gender segregated so imagine how they force you to get used to hijab even when you’re just surrounded by other girls. And all day long at school they tell you horrible stories about what will happen to you in hell if someone sees even a strand of your hair.
4. the regime modifies all the textbooks, story books, cartoons and movies to represent the ideal woman with full on hijab. The iranian media is ordered to photoshop every photo of a woman that may be showing a little skin. And if they’re iranian, no hair is supposed to be seen or that will be photoshopped away. Women are mostly excluded from billboards and tv commercials.
5. imagine going to work or meeting up with a friend when suddenly the morality police kidnap you in broad daylight and force you into a van to take you to a station where they will treat you like a criminal and if you don’t agree to get humiliated and do as they say, they will put you in prison. And in case of Mahsa Amini and so many more before her, they will beat you to death. My sister was barely 18 when she got kidnapped and they didn’t let her call home and she’d been so fucking scared and we had no idea where she was. Imagine all the psychological trauma.
6. If you’re in a car and not wearing hijab they will fine you and seize your car. So when u get into a taxi the driver will ask you to keep your hijab on otherwise they’ll get fined. And if you refuse they’ll ask you to get off the car.
7. And its not just about hijab. In Ramadan, they get even more vicious. If they catch you eating or even drinking water on the street they will give you lashes as punishment and even imprison you for breaking the law. If you work in a state-owned company it’s even worse. They will close the cafeteria and take away the water dispensers. All restaurants are banned from delivering food before iftar. It’s a fucking mess. Everyone has to pretend they’re fasting or they’ll be severely punished.
8. And how could I forget about this! iranian women are banned from singing! the islamic regime prohibits women’s singing voices to be heard by men so imagine the horror of having 50% of the population banned from ever becoming a singer. If they identify a female singer in iran, they will take her to jail and force her to repent her sins in the most humiliating way so that she will never dare sing again.
9. And every time the regime gets wind of a private gathering of men and women trying to have fun and live their fucking private lives, the police crash the party and take everyone to jail bc the Islamic regime bans iranian men and women from having fun.
So if you see Islam has become for many iranians a symbol of oppression and torture and discrimination, that’s why. The regime uses islam as a weapon to silence and punish anyone who opposes them. You can love islam all you want from the safety of your home in a free country and talk about how kind and benevolent the religion is, but in iran, it’s a whole different story.
Our economy is fucked. All govt officials are corrupt as fuck. Most websites are banned in iran. Even tumblr is banned. The world has cut the iranian ppl from many services. We don’t have intl credit cards like visa card. Amazon doesn’t do delivery to iran. We cant get netflix, spotify or even a gamepass subscription. we don’t get any Apple services here. iran isn’t listed as a country you could choose when signing up for a lot of services. and when we decide to leave iran and escape this hellhole, every country out there will make it sooo much harder for us to get a visa just bc we had the misfortune to be born in iran at the wrong time.
This is the story of iran for the past 44 years. Held hostage by a corrupt regime that uses religion to suppress and torture the people and being abandoned by the rest of the world bc our lives don’t matter.
Please be our voice. Once they shut down the internet completely and silence our voice, they will start slaughtering us to stifle the protests just like they did in 2019. Please help us. We want this fucking regime gone.
I live in Iran and everything op said is facts without any exaggeration.

Furiously draws Tintin after seeing a serious lack of fanart
and also because he’s a cutie and a badass
An original letter from Hergé to literary critic Bernard Toussaint, 1970.
Dear sir,
I had the pleasure of reading your letter on November 28th. It contained a number of questions, of which I will answer the best I can.
1. Flight 714 to Sydney does not feel to me what you have called a “questioning of (my)self”; it was rather, I’d say, a return to “dad’s good old adventures” (Trns.: Hergé here means a return to adventure stories of the early 20th century)
2. The sticky bandage gag, in this same album, was there both as a “humorous note” and - you were right - as a “callback” of the same gag in The Calculus Affair.
3. An “aggressive” Calculus…not intentionally, in any case. Nervousness leads him to anger, and this anger may make victims around him, so let’s be clear that his gentle and peaceful nature returns to himself after the outburst!
4. Rastapopoulos, Allan…yes, I have a growing feeling that the “bad guys” are mostly pitiful guys.
5. It’s no secret that Jacques Bergier was the model for Ezdanitoff.
6. The Casterman printing process is offset.
With the hopes of having been both thorough and brief, I wish for you, dear sir, to believe in my cordially-devoted sentiments.
Hergé.
Chang looks try to catch Tin Tin, but maybe not ready.

Coming up with something for the first Tintin Day of 2020 was a big choice, but it felt like another Skut month. Who else fits this terrible joke better??

Speedpaint of Tintin saving Chang because why not :O
Hello teacher, I just wanna say I really like your tinchang series of fanart！！Your ideas are so interesting! The painting is also very good!! I am so moved and excited to see such good works!! Thank you and praise again!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭💐💐💐✨✨✨
“Sorry for laughing at you.”
“No no, I’m glad I could cheer you up!”
Thank you for this message, it was very sweet! my ideas bounce around in my head like the logo on a dvd screensaver until I find the time to Do Something with them, so I’m thankful you find them interesting lol
quick studies of hergé’s style for tintin! the last two images is me breaking down how he draws nature in his backgrounds, and me attempting a sketch (in his style) of the view outside the cafe i was at! (the buildings were rushed so ignore that LOL)
i have been really enamoured by his artwork ever since i was a kid, and even over a decade later, im still just as (or even more-so) fascinated by it.
his linework and form is impeccable but he still somehow nails this sweet spot of refinement and realism with really fun stylisation, expressiveness and flow. he was a master at his craft and i just AHHH. i wish i could go more into detail and analyse more of how he draws people especially, we’ll see if i do more of these!
