The Shooting Star

The Shooting Star

2015-05-2702:11:25

This week on Totally Tintin, it’s life during wartime. Is it about the conflict between science and religion; is it a metaphor for war and life during occupation; an escapist fantasy; or is it all a dream? We don’t know either, but join us as we try to figure out The Shooting Star!
We promised change last week and here we have it: the end of Hergé’s pre-war period and the end of political satire. In The Crab with the Golden Claws the political gives way to the personal and the fantastical as Hergé fights to create in occupied Brussels. Most importantly: Haddock!
