Tintin to be sued for Congo book


According to the British online news service, Telegraph.co.uk, a Congolese accountant is set to bring a lawsuit in France against Tintin for racism.

The case was originally brought to Belgium courts two years ago but with little result. Now, with the suit in France, the plaintiff, a Mr. Bienvenu Mbutu Mondondo, is hoping for better results.

This story follows a slew of other recent articles on the subject of Tintin in the Congo. Some speculate that due to the recent increase in exposure Tintin is having with the upcoming films, stories like this might be more common.
