Uhm, wasn't Tintin Belgian, or at least written by a Belgian (Hergé I think, or was that the Smurfs?). Not to discredit your point, which is valid anyway, seeing as "poor little Belgium" had a fairly large empire in Africa at the time.

yeah Hergé was belgian alright.. some of the early books were a tad racist, and were a tad colonial in their leanings, but i think that later on Herge went back and changed them for later editions, at the request of the publisher i think.
asterix was full of sterotypes, but thats what made it funny i think
