LOL. And this is already the cleaned-up version of the comic. There are several instances where the author Hergé reworked some of his drawings and texts years later because they were considered "a bit inappropriate".
Tintin in Congo was written in the time when Congo was a Belgian colony, and it reflects the common attitudes of the time (which, it has to be said, weren't very fair to black people). But then, you see the same thing in other literature, movies and music of the period. No reason for a ban IMO, but it would be a good thing to add an editorial note explaining this.
And I disagree that it's mostly under 12s who read comics!
