I think Joost Swarte is a great artist. I'm still not sure what to do about the racial stereotypes--it needs to be really explicitly a satire of older humor for me to get it, I guess, and to me it just reads like a rehashing of old "humor". It doesn't feel like it's a necessary part of any of the stories except to reference the stuff in TinTin that always causes controversy? Someone, feel free to school me (in a non-condescending way, please.)
apart from that, it's rad to see more translations of non-U.S. comics to be read.
