With Tin Tin a successful Spielberg venture at the movies, America introduces a whole new young (and adult) population to the joys of European comics. Asterix is another favorite. Both Tintin and Asterix are heroes of two series of comic style books originally written in French. Tintin is Belgian and written by Herge and the [...]
In trying to find a poster that best resonates with what New Year’s Day feels like, I came across this beauty by Toni Ungerer: How fitting.
