Is there an editor in the house?

Today's Globe and Mail offers a "Video Pick" saying fans of Tintin are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Tintin creator Hergé's birth. (The copy calls him Herge -- because apparently there are no accents available to G&M Web editors.)

I almost never click on these things, but today I did.

And I got to see a report on how the Tintin books no longer have an Arabic publisher, so fans in Egypt, where the books are popular, have to read them in French. There was also the usual discussion of whether or not the books are racist. (Conclusion: maybe.)
