Favourite things - Herge illustration of Australia and NZ
Tintin was always a favourite character for me, although returning to them with Noah I have to say they are hard work to read out loud - they need the voices and accents I hear in my head but cannot reproduce. The pen and ink drawings are captivating enough on their own.
This illustration in 1959's Explorers on the Moon caught my eye - look which tiny part of the blue planet Herge has chosen to show.

Very cool. I never noticed that before. Speaking of accents, I recently bought a DVD box set of the animated Tintin series. Even without reading the liner notes you'd immediately pick it as a Canadian production after listening to just a few seconds of dialogue.
