As someone who once owned Tintin au pays des Soviets (but also sold it more out of distaste of the art than the politics) and who is currently rereading a less-but-still-problematic classic Belgian bande dessinée, I really appreciated these reflections. I hadn’t realized that Tintin was about to enter the public domain, and that’s exciting! I’m more optimistic that Tintin can be reclaimed from its fascist, racist roots than Werd is.

Lots of interesting reflections here.

I agree with a lot of this post.

I am slowly writing something related to open source governance this semester, so naturally this story keeps getting wilder to give me things to think about.
