Picture: Humor: French Tintin Cover

I purchased this postcard, which was eventually mailed to my brother, in a Tintin specialty shop in Daikanyama in Tokyo during June of 2007.

The combination of the title with the almost baffled look on their faces caught my attention: I don't know why the heck Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock and Piotr Skut are doing on an oil drum raft in the middle of the ocean, and they don't seem to either.

The English title of this particular episode of the adventures of Tintin was 'The Red Sea Sharks', put that in your pipe and smoke it.
