Comics….
Missed seeing something that was very high on my list of things to do – a visit to the comics museum. But the feel is there all over the country. You see cartoons even in public signages – and am excluding the graffiti content for the moment. Tintin, the character and comic most easily recognisable by me, is clearly huge. Perhaps for the tourist potential, but clearly big in the Belgian psyche as well. There are Tintin shops all over, the wall paintings have him and Captain Haddock featured prominently. Nostalgic. Refer Soumya’s blog of a few days back with trivia and his musings on this (http://sc218.blogspot.com/2006/07/16-tintin-100.html )
Souvenier are innovative, and market friendly. Something for everyone- a big kick for he
enthusiast, amusing for the average guy – bit lots of money for the trade in any case. Win-Win!
Tushar has bought a not so little Snowy for his Tintin mad sis!
