week 2- How does Farr (1991) justify Tintin's appeal to adults?

Tintin's appeal to adults in Farr's article of Tinti, an imaginary hero in a real world, is reflected by the different events that occur throughout the Tintin series. Farr justifies the appeal that Tintin has as being "self-generating", In that it is a continuous tradition from childhood to adult. The Tintin adventures deals with events of pastimes, which somewhat is reflected to the appeal for adults in that they are able to experience a pastime that they may have not had knowledge about or were limited to the information about that particular event, such as the Pearl harbour and the first landing on the moon. It provides a light-hearted appreciation for an event that was significant to a country either positively or negatively. Farr also describes the idea if loyalty, and this is seen through many of Tintin's adventures in which he stays loyal to his promises as well as to those that rely on him. In addition Tintin appeals to the adult audience as it draws a lot of "political satire" like the invasion of China by the Japanese, the smuggling as well as the issue of war. Farr (1991) article describe s that the tintin series brings about the realization that there is always something new to be learnt when it is read repeatedly. It gives the notion that once you read you will continue to re-develop ideas not only about the characters but with the issues that surround them and the problems that they face.
