POPSTin Tin banned in England? Books are reflections of their times- an innocent illustration in one decade might be regarded as prejudicial and offensive in another. While I've never been a fan of Tintin myself, the group does need to admit that the illustrations in the comic/graphic novel are not unlike the illustrations in other books that came before and after it. One of my favourite contriversial books would come decades later- William Steig's Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. A sad but later heart warming story that can teach us how we need to be careful what we wish for... as well as what animals we choose to depict policemen , food the animals should eat and parents should always watch over their children ... but it's such an innocent story! ... and don't get started on Maurice Sendak :(
