Tin Tin - In Tibet

This for me is by far my most familiar comic.Tin Tin has more of a British influence, hence my familiarity - Zimbabwe and South Africa being British Colonies are often exposed to European media as opposed to American literature. Tin Tin is always jam packed with action, even in what could be typically mundane scenes. There is a certain energy to this work that keeps the reader engaged.New characters and adventures are ever present in Tin Tin. Snowy in a way is the logical insight into the situation.He is really a person in the form of a dog, which is interesting.- an early version of Brian from Family Guy perhaps. Events happen in quick succession, there is no time to blink in terms of action. This piece is intended for a younger audience, it is fast paced and much like many movies today. The expansion of subjects and circumstance is something that is often observed in Tin Tin. Sometimes they can be a little long winded, this technique is in search of heightening the suspense and giving greater details about the character and their reaction to certain events. The characters and artwork is dynamic and believable which is another reason why I really enjoy Tin Tin.
