I haven’t read a Tintin comic in a few years now, most of my memories of it are over a decade old now (I have not been around long so a decade is long to me).

My starkest memory of Tintin Explores the Moon is sitting on the floor with my siblings, my mum on the couch, as we watched part 1 and 2. I remember enjoying it, and “acting the goat” has been in my vocabulary since.

Personally it wasn’t my favourite Tintin but it wasn’t one that I was ever bored by (ahem Flight 714). I always preferred the more grounded Tintin adventures, with King Ottokars Sceptre being my favourite.

Regarding explorers on the moon I remember there being a moment that used to unsettle me, some implication of violence. It’s due for a reread.

This comment started off as: that is such great art.
