Basically this implement had the form resembled old contraception that was mentioned olor. This implement was made from the sheet of animal skin or plastic that was enough to close the stomach circle from the neck to the back leg. "That resembled clothes to cook," said Ole Ngosi Kipameto, one of the owners of cattle from the Kajiado district, around 80 kilometre from the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. This sheet was covered to the underside stomach and was tied used the mine rope or the plastic rope.
This method could be considered to be effective. Because, uptil now the breeders must separate the male and female goat. This matter did not only need a long time but also the cost and the power were bigger. "If they were pregnant during the dry condition like at this time, his mother will be exhausted and could not increase his child adequately," said Kipameto.

Contrepeterie
(Jrt)
Contrepeterie
The contrepeterie (sometimes called antistrophe) is a pun which is to swap some phonemes or certain syllables of a sentence, to get a new sentence, often with a comical sense, even grivois. You can also say that this is "the art of sounds that shift debit our mouth", the definition itself containing two contrepèteries.
Example: "My uncle loses courage to clusters of patent" becomes a rotational p and m, "My uncle loses courage to bait my aunt.
The newspaper Le Canard enchaîné is famous for his weekly contrepèteries selection in the section entitled On Album of the Countess created by Yvan Audouard, taken by Henri Monier, Luc Etienne (who was Regent of the College Astropétique 'Pataphysics) then taken over by Joel Martin.
It is customary that never gives a solution contrepèterie everyone to find itself. Doing it as the beginning of this paragraph would be incorporated a very serious lack of taste. It is said you have to be three to enjoy a contrepèterie: one that stated, one who understands it, and whoever does not understand.
Additionally, correspondence sounds must be strict, there can be no question of saying: "The Minister of Finance decreed all reductions feasible."
Sixteenth century
Who could have been the origin of such a process if it is shown François Rabelais? Thus in 1532 appeared with his Pantagruel first two examples of the genre: the famous "mad woman to Mass" and equivocation on "Beaumont-le-Vicomte".
Forty years later, the Burgundian Stephen Tabourot, Mr. Accords, publishes Bigarrures and keys, the first book containing an article dealing exclusively with the subject. It includes the first reference to the term "contrepéterie" previously designated by the designations "antistrophe" or "equivocation"
Twentieth century
We can not find a trace referring to the written contrepet for several centuries until the release of confidential Treasury equivocal, antistrophes and contrepéteries of Jacques Oncial in 1909, the first treaty to be fully devoted; oral tradition has enabled this art d 'reach us, for our greatest happiness! These include the publication in 1924 of PTO, a collection of jokes identified by J.-W. Bienstock and Curnonsky whose trade-offs edition includes an additional chapter entitled "Le Petit Thursday badin of contrepetteries," identifying a few dozen contrepèteries.
It seems that in 1934 one of the pillars of literature contrapétique: Contrepèteries of La Redoute. Louis Perceau are compiled and sorted hundreds of contrepèteries succulent from oral tradition as well as its own composition. It is in this book that you can find many classics such as "The noodles cook the cane juice," which opens the way to fanfare. In 1951, the weekly Le Canard enchaîné actively contributes to the popularity of the contrepèterie through Henri Monier who created the first - and so far only - category specifically devoted to it: On the Album of the Countess. A few years later one of the secretaries of the Countess publishes the second major work such as: "The art of contrepet" Luc Etienne in 1957, whose subtitle is "Little Treaty to use to resolve Amateurs the proposed Contrepèteries and invent new ". In addition to introducing the term "contrepet," this book really give him his letters of nobility by proposing a methodical study and relevant, in addition to numerous examples including the famous novel "I leave you in choosing the date."
The contrepeterie in literary history
* François Rabelais, is said to be the inventor of the process:
o "Panurge disoit there was a mad woman antistrophe between the Mass and the woman soft buttock. "
o "Beaumont-le-Vicomte"
* Tabourot Estienne (1547-1590):
o "All the girls doubt their foy. "
o "Taste me this farce! "
o "The black me fuyt"
o "This woman is a lieuse of thistles. "
* Victor Hugo:
o "I made the hunchback cocu, I made the beautiful cul cosy. "Moreover, went to posterity examples (supposed) involuntary, of its own, such as:
o "The defeat of his heart."
* Closer to home, Benjamin Péret published a book in 1928:
o "The rust encagees."
* Boris Vian:
o "the painter gives opinions on the bare"
o "Colin [...] tailla to bevel the corner of his eyelids mates. "
* Robert Desnos wrote a number in the section on Rrose Sélavy gathering Corps and property, often giving solution:
o "In a temple stucco pastor of apple juice distillait psalms. "
o "Rrose Sélavy familiar with the merchant salt"
The first collection of contrepèteries is the rare "Treasury equivocal, antistrophes and contrepéteries" Jacques Oncial, published in 1909 by some 300 copies. Then in 1934 "La Redoute of contrepèteries" Louis Perceau which lists hundreds, many times from a work by Jacques Oncial. "On the Album of the Countess," set up after the war in Le Canard enchaîné, has also played an important role in the dissemination of this art to shift the sounds. He published a poem a day which presented two levels of reading. Here is the first quatrain:
"The tribute to their environment than poets
A woman always disappointed offer ardent
Flatte certainly the goal but n'apaise the quest:
The wait has pleasures that we do a moment."
The contrepeterie on Radio London
Radio London, sent the resistance messages, various sentences, meaning agreed.
Colonel Remy, eminent personality of Free France, says that before choosing such coded phrases to read on Radio London to warn the Resistance, he found himself being with his friends in possession of La Redoute contrepeteries.
They had the idea to use this book. And they were a joy when they heard the charming speakerine of the British radio read carefully neutral tone and diction perfect sentences, albeit within the meaning coded agreed, but that would have been ashamed if she had known what they could mean as contrepeteries.
It must be said that they did not have many opportunities to distract. The contrepèterie came to their aid in these difficult times.
Some contrepeteries
It is noted that often, contrepeteries allude to sex. The word is not survive the rest in french than in contrepeteries and songs paillardes. An example of contrepèterie without grivoiserie is the slogan of the time of the Occupation: "You should not say but Petain Metropolitan mollit too" case of a slogan, the solution was given. Similarly, opponents of the movement of Colonel de La Rocque "Cross-Fire" were soon to call the members of this party "Cold Queues."
Joel Martin has nevertheless written several chapters of contrepeteries "fair" in its "Bible contrepet." Others are circulating on the Internet, such as "Bring the pork."
Some names are a contrepeterie:
* Thierry d'Argenlieu
* Madame Vigee-Lebrun.

* Jules Verne
* Alphonse de Lamartine

* The Bank Address (without taboo words, contrary to "pull Lacoste")
Magazines:
* We will Two (review novels photos rose water)

* After the election of Jacques Peyrat for mayor of Nice, a famous regional daily titra this double contrepeterie:
Peyrat Nice: After doubt, joy
Films:
* Conan the Barbarian
* The hill boots (western with Terence Hill)
The benign expression:

And finally two contrepeteries that the French report with ridicule as being of Belgian origin, in reference to the supposed innocence of their neighbours:
* It is nice and warm.
* Tough.

"She was afraid of my word window:
Janitors do not like to be awakened abruptly.
But she insisted aspire my term,
I laissai work my bile and felt hated me.
A kind of rage I took the place of verve "
It ends with:
"She told me:" After this marc, should be a good dinette. "
I felt then greed janitors. "
It also gives advice: just as the charm of crosswords is to give definitions not trivial, we must once contrepet found him find a short introduction also appropriate for the innocent phrase basis that at its option sulphurous. Thus, the words "dogfish" and "bread", following the introduction only makes it more tasty contrepeterie:
"But I is not fishing, Mr. priest! J'agace the bats with my pieces of bread. "
And on "slumped" and "bazaar", what's more pleasing that these five words of introduction? :
"Exhausted by a long tail, the poor woman s'affale before the bazaar."

Comments
This series, very freely adapted from the The Honeymooners, was aired in early evening and was a huge success.
One source of humor in this series is to use animals as objects of technology. For example, when people take pictures with an instant camera, inside the camera is a bird that burns the image on a stone tablet. Another instrument generally seen in the series is the baby woolly mammoth with the tube is used as a vacuum cleaner. The planes, in the case of travel Hollyrock for example, parody of Hollywood, are represented as ptérodactyles.

Dubbing
The dubbing is in Quebec has contributed greatly to the success of the series in French-speaking North America. There are well-known members of the colony Quebec artists of the time including Paul Berval (Fred Caillou), Denise Proulx (Délima Caillou), Claude Michaud (Arthur Laroche), Monique Miller (Bertha Laroche) and Benoît Marleau (Dino) in the main roles. Several other artists are remarkable and notable appearances as Jean Besré (Charlot), Luc Durand (Joe Head-Pierre), Béatrice Picard (mother of Délima), Janine Sutto (grandmother Lance-Roche) and Serge Turgeon ( Grand Boubou). Unlike the majority of Quebec shields, the international french accent, which some describe as colonized, is replaced by a Quebec accent typically filled with local cultural references. This bias language, often scorned by purists in the world of dubbing Quebec, has been key to success more than once. One need only think of the dubbing of the animated series The Simpsons or even popular films such as Slap Shot (Start-Struck) or Flodder (Lavigueur move), which have become real success locally.
The version of the series aired from 1993 to 1995 on the satellite channel Cartoon Network took the dubbing famous - with the added bonus, the song of generic french - unlike the earlier episodes aired in France, which had adopted a dubbing french de France with major actors dubbing the moment that have often found in the shields of Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the era: Fred Flintstones was sung with gusto by Roger Carel (Mr Cosmos of the Jetsons, Asterix, C3PO), Barney Laroche by Gerard Hernandez (Grand smurf, Smurf grognon, Iznogoud, Pirlouit, Jack Dalton), Wilma Flintstones by Evelyne Grandjean (Arale, Jane Jetsons) and Betty Laroche by Laurence Crouzet (April O'neil, Lucy McBernik, Shina in the knight of the zodiac). Anything small world fit the delight of viewers french during broadcasts of the series in issuing Hanna-Barbera ding-dong of Antenne 2.
The actors Quebec dubbing original resumed service at the dubbing of the film produced by Steven Spielrock "(sic). The dubbed version only occurs on laserdisc NTSC Canadian, and then the DVD Zone 1 (DVD zone 2 french having too inherited a dubbing "local"). For the French version, these are the French equivalent voice actors who were not chosen and the resumption of the cartoon actors (John Goodman [Fred] is doubled by Jacques Frantz and Rick Moranis [Barney] by Luq Hamet, who also been the presenter of the show Hanna-Barbera ding-dong).
Similarly, boxes for six seasons on DVD (4 discs per package), fans of the original version Quebec will opt for the Canadian editions Warner (NTSC zone 1), available only on sites vpc U.S. PAL versions area 2 is also different (Cartoons collection of my childhood). However, there are DVD boxes "completely Anglicized" (with jacket and supplements bonus VF), but rare to find (only seasons 2 and 4 are still available), and full VO (jacket and bonus included), which retains dubbing in Quebec.

He convinced the producers of the programme of his talent and participates in the 1980-81 season. His appearances are noticed, so it is part of the regular distribution as soon as next season. At the time, Saturday Night Live saw its audiences erode and the production budget was limited. During the 3 years that followed, Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo acolyte participate in most sketches passed to the antenna, and the program quickly regains his audience, giving Murphy a national reputation, thanks to a gallery of characters become cults.
Career actor
Personality rising to the USA through its participation in Saturday Night Live, Murphy was soon to take its first steps in cinema. The director Walter Hill, who is looking for a player that would give the reply by Nick Nolte in his new film, hears Murphy who then gets the role. 48 hours fate in 1982. Nevertheless, its interpretation can not seduced producers of the film, and we need the intervention of producer Jeffrey Katzenberg (co-founder of DreamWorks SKG with Steven Spielberg) so that Murphy was not returned. It receives over comedy, delivered by David Proval (known for his role as Richie Aprile on The Sopranos), during the shooting, to help find the aggressiveness needed for the interpretation of his role as malfrat.

He wished the poster in The Flic Beverly Hills, where he interprets the cop Axel Foley: the film then becomes one of the 10 largest commercial successes of all time the USA, propelling the Eddie Murphy rank of star.
Alongside his acting career, Murphy continued his career as a comedian and develop two shows in 80 years: Delirious (1983) and Raw (1990).

Joker (Batman)
(Jrt)
Joker (Batman)
The Joker is a fictional character created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger in the comic-book Batman # 1 in 1940. It is the main enemy of Batman.
Creation of character
Although Bob Kane was appropriate paternity Joker, it seems more likely that his acolyte Bill Finger is the real creator of the character. The film The Man Who Laughs would have inspired the artist, wishing to oppose an opponent high colour Batman.
Origins
Several scenarios have recounted the genesis of character, but not necessarily in a consistent manner. At the end of 50 years, a malfrat named Red Hood appears in Detective Comics # 168. It can be assumed that this is the first real appearance of the person who will become the Joker, but it should be noted that several people have borrowed this identity. The Joker appear under his clown appearance in Batman No. 1.
However, it seems certain that the night of drama founder giving birth to the Joker took place in a waste treatment plant chemicals called Axis Chemicals. Survivors just a dive in a toxic bath, Red Hood sank into madness furious to discover his new physical appearance, and swore he would make the world so that désaxé him.
In the version of Alan Moore (The Killing Joke), Red Hood is nothing other than a failed comedian whose only concern was to support his pregnant wife. Without choice, he agreed to rob a factory of toxic waste and crossed a point of no return to crime after the death of his wife. The accident finally realized its loss of reason and its entry into the world of crime. It should be noted that this story is told from the viewpoint of the Joker, and that his vision of things can be altered (The man himself admits that he remembers so many versions of his past that no longer knows discern the true). As such, The Killing Joke can be considered as part of elseworlds Batman. However, insofar as Alan Moore was the first writer to recount the exact origin of the Joker, one can also consider it as "official".
Physical and psychological
The chemical seeped into the body of Red Hood has caused irreversible physical changes, but also affect his psychological state. Her skin is now white as chalk and his hair is green. It also boasts a wide smile, but it seems that it is voluntary because the Joker did not display at all times. It should be noted that in the comic book: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, the color scarlet lips Joker is due to the use of a lipstick, whereas in most other comics (including The Killing Joke) It is a consequence of his bath of acid.
Methods
Although it is difficult to determine if the changeover in the madness was caused by a phenomenon organic or by the psychological shock caused by the accident, Red Hood adopted an exuberant behaviour and borrowed the nickname Joker given by the media .
The Joker has a particular taste for the macabre jokes. His first coup was to shine poison water supplies of Gotham City. Chemical weapons have no secret for him and he wears a permanently several kinds of acids and the venom of Joker, a compound binary being literally dying of laughter to those it infects their paralysing facial with a rictus-like hers.
The purpose of the Joker is to make fool his enemies so that the world looks to him. For that, he did not hesitate in killing Jason Todd, the second Robin, with a bomb (A mourning in the family) to kidnap Jim Gordon, paralyse his daughter (Barbara Gordon, former Batgirl, become Oracle) to life before the strip and the photograph to make her crazy father (cf. The Killing Joke) and kill Sarah Gordon Essen, the wife of the Commissioner, by threatening to execute newborns if it resists (see Batman: No Man's Land). Although it is not explicitly stated, it is suggested that Barbara Gordon had also been raped by the Joker and his men.
Emotional life
The Joker is assisted since the mid-1990 by Harley Quinn (first appearance in the animated series Batman, the animated series). Former psychiatrist of Arkham fell crazy in love with the Joker, it helps frequently to escape from the Arkham asylum. A love relationship one way unites the two characters.
Alliances
The Joker has sometimes worked in agreement with the enemies of Batman, and even with gangsters in the Marvel Universe (Jigsaw).
Recently, The Sphinx has concluded a contract with the Joker: the latter must release him from prison and protect Silence, a psychopathic killer. It must, in return, to deliver the name of the assassin of his wife, Jeanine.
However, its notorious instability alienates him the confidence of potential allies: thus, it is not invited to join the League of Super-villains formed by Alexander Luthor III (that rejection will lead elsewhere in the assassination of the latter by the Joker.)
It is also entered into conflict with Lex Luthor on several occasions, including during the presidency of Luthor, and then during Operation Salvation Run, in which history Luthor and the Joker lead each clan of super-villains with the objectives opposed.
Futures likely
The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller recounts a future hypothetical Batman and Joker. The work is centered around a key question: Joker suffer it the need to continue his criminal activity if Batman did not exist? His answer is clearly 'no', because here Batman has withdrawn from its role as a vigilante and Joker remains in a catatonic state in the Arkham asylum. But the return of vigilante will cause the Joker to escape the need to deal with again, which means that its actions have for him reason to be in conflict with those of Batman, as a double negative (typical idea of comics, relayed in the film Unbreakable).
This ambiguous relationship of interdependence is pushed far enough by Miller, because both men live alone and complete their confrontation with a deadly embrace during which the Joker Batman calls "my angel".
Powers and weapons
The weapon of choice Joker is the toxic substance that he invented and which bears his name: "The Joker venom." This substance causes anaphylactic shock due to the blockage of canneaux calcium and potassium. The effect is visible a smile frozen course the face of the victim, a sign of the Joker. Depending on the dose, can discolor skin and hair can turn green, other signs of Clown Prince From Crime. The Joker also uses weapons bearing the signs of a clown, he transforms into deadly weapons, as the pies cyanide or explosives, handles electrical deadly, playing cards sharp where his famous flower planning a stream of acid, or sometimes its venom Joker. Without forgetting the gun where a flag lot "BANG!", Which sometimes act as symbol. In the film "Batman succession: the return of the Joker", the gun is capable of getting the flag (VO only). But the Joker also uses weapons "classics" such as machine guns or knives that disimule under his sleeve. In addition, the Joker is a very little fighting in regard to technology, although it can sometimes be dangerous révèler body to body. It is immune against the effects of its own venom Joker, but also by extension against other toxic gases of the same type: the poison of Epouvantail is thus not affect him.
Personality
A psychiatrist argued that the Joker has a "super-mental balance". In fact, she explains that the Joker has no personality, for that to find in the world where he lives, he has to reinvent itself every day, via clown blagueur example of the serial killer completely mad, hence its unpredictable side. In addition, he knows himself that he is crazy but think it is sunk. The Joker is very cunning and capable of handling a lot of people at will, especially Arkham guards. Without knowing the identity of Batman, Joker knows his weaknesses and he managed to get an idea of psychology Batman.Il knows, for example, that a Batman endured enormous suffering to become what it is, that it was also a "bad day" which was transformed. The Joker is also very strong with regard to the psychological torture: he perverted Quinnzel Harley, who was to become his companion, he failed make crazy Jim Gordon, and he doubted more than once on Batman's mental health.
Biography alternative
In the Batman of Tim Burton, the Joker is known as Jack Napier. He is the author of the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents. It is also the rival of his boss Grissom, since it has a romantic liaison with the girlfriend of the latter; Grissom tends trap Jack Napier by sending, and the men of the latter whose faithful Bob, to plant chemicals Axis Chemicals. In visiting the factory, Jack Napier faces Batman, who fell despite him in a vat of acid, causing his physical deformity. Survivors of accuracy in his bath toxic, it is to operate and becomes the Joker.

Comments
Rowan Atkinson defines the character of Mr Bean as "a child of eight years in an adult body."
Mr Bean made two appearances in the film Bean of Mel Smith (1997) and The Holiday Mr. Bean of Steve Bendelack (2007).
Music
The musical accompaniment of Mr Bean differs from other comedies since the generic, written by Howard Goodall, is sung by the choir of Southwark Cathedral. The words are in latin:
* Ecce Homo, which is faba - Here is the man who is a bean (sung at the beginning)
* Finishes parties primae - End of Part One (sung before the advertisements in the original version)
* Pars secunda - Part Two (sung after advertisements)
* Vale homo which is faba - Adieu, the man who is a bean (sung at the end)
Goodall has also written musical accompaniment for the various episodes.

In this adventure, intervenes Al Capone. This is one of the few times in the series where Hergé incorporates an individual real character. Most often, it inspired the creation of its heroes existing people but bringing many changes.
To create history, Hergé had a reduced documentation, like Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and Tintin in the Congo. It was scenes from the life of Georges Duhamel, the magazine Le Crapouillot which devoted a special edition of the USA and a book on American Indians.
When creating the album, Hergé mainly wanted to run around the history of American Indians to whom he had a great fascination. Thus, it creates a thumbnail a pamphlet denouncing violence against Americans. It thus expelling American soldiers fixed bayonets Indian firing them after their papooses themselves dragging their dolls and this after the discovery of an oil well for which financial outbidding were made to the white explorer . This sequence did not unanimously when the album was reissued but it would never wanted to delete it.

The thought bienséante having censored these characters (such as a hotel doorman) and imposed their "blanchisation" in subsequent editions denunciation and a possible coup disappeared leading to the opposite purpose.

Analysis
Towards 1930, the Congo was a real Eldorado for Belgium. The Congo, eighty times larger than the countries that colonisait, had a basement extremely rich. At that time, the territory lacked manpower. The trend of the time was to advertise for this country.
The release of the album began on June 5, 1930 in Le Petit Vingtième and ended June 11, 1931. The album was first published by Editions du Petit Twentieth then it was taken a little later editions Casterman which s'assurèrent publication of Adventures of Tintin in exclusivity.
For resumption of the album in 1946, Hergé redessina adventure. He put in color, reduced from 115 boards to 62 pages and changed the colonialist ideology of the album. Thus, the geography and history lesson that gave Tintin "Your homeland, Belgium" found himself replaced by a math lesson. Hergé redessina also almost all the images, affina sets, redonna the clarity cut and changed the dialogues to make them more alive.
Hergé said later that during the creation of Tintin au Congo, as for Tintin in the land of the Soviets, he lived in an environment full of prejudice. It is the peculiarity of Tintin au Congo: the album, far from the positions taken by anti-colonialist who appear in the work of Herge from the Blue Lotus, is filled with stereotypes typical of the vision that Africa had the Europeans at that time.
Herge and declare about the album:
"For the Congo as in Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, it is that I was fed prejudices of the environment in which I lived… was in 1930. I did not know this country that what people told at the time: "The Negroes are big children, fortunately we're here!" And so on. And I've drawn, these Africans, according to these criteria then, in the pure paternalistic spirit which was the time in Belgium.
Aware of these stereotypes that are actually the basis of certain convictions of this work for racist content, Hergé however defended his work by saying that his characters were black fantasy, and cited in this sense a laudatory article published by the magazine in Zaire 1969, that "if some images caricatures of the Congolese people by Tintin in the Congo are white smile, they laugh frankly Congolese, because the Congolese people will find reasons to mock the white man who saw them as"
In 2007, controversy linked to these stereotypes becomes valid after a notice of the British Commission for Racial Equality (British Commission on Racial Equality) who finds the cartoon "racist" and asks to withdraw bookstores. The bookseller Borders then decided not to sell the album "The radius child," moving towards "adult comics". Shortly thereafter, a Congolese student at the Free University of Brussels filed complaints of racism and demand that the album be withdrawn from commerce.
Anecdotes
* In the original version as published in the "Little twentieth", the return of Tintin in the plane led to fraternize with two méharistes in the Sahara, as the plane above the Spain y disrupted a bullfight.
* Tintin is interrupted by a leopard while he gives a lesson in arithmetic. In the original version (included in the Archives Hergé), the blackboard is actually a map of geography, and Tintin said: "Today I will tell you about your fatherland: Belgium".
* If, in this album, the Congolese speak in a rough syntax, elephants and monkeys, they speak among themselves in excellent french.
* Tintin in this album shows a certain cruelty to animals, unlike the following albums: it gives kicks in a leopard weakened, it detonated a rhinoceros, and it kills dépèce a monkey to go recover Milou who was abducted.
* In the current version of the album, Dupondt make a brief appearance in the first case when they are absent from the original version, in the same case, on each side of Tintin, as seen Quick and Flupke but also Hergé which was represented alongside his friends Edgar Pierre Jacobs and Jacques Van Melkebeke.
* In this adventure, Tintin detonated a rhinoceros by drilling a hole that fills dynamite. The Swedish publisher did not appreciate this way and earned his amendment. In the new page redesigned for export, rhinoceros fled after the shooting that takes Tintin accidentally. However, in the French version, the original scene has been preserved.
* Tintin is called twice "Boula-Matari" (p. 28 and last page). Boula-Matari which means "rock breaker" was the nickname given by the natives as a sign of deference and respect for the English explorer Sir Henry Morton Stanley.
Return of Tintin in the Congo in 1970
Tintin in the Congo will return in 1970 in the short animated film advertising Tintin and the SGM (General Minerals Corporation Belgian). A paperback adapted from the film is edited in the same year by Publiart (Guy Decissy) / Casterman.

A pamphlet against the Bolshevik system
On 10 January 1929, Hergé created, commissioned by the abbot Wallez, owner of The Twentieth Century, the character of Tintin for Youth Supplement Le Petit Vingtième. At that time, there was anti-Communist obsession very important and it did not seem too bad the leaders of the newspaper to their young readers aware of the reality of Bolshevism.
It is the abbot Norbert Wallez, director of the Twentieth Century, which had the idea to invent a character who can show the young Belgians the situation in the USSR. It entrust this project to Hergé, editor of the Petit Vingtième. Thus was born Tintin.
The abbot Wallez, politically very right, is counting on this "report" to denounce the evils of communism. Thus, Hergé plays with the so-called healthy economic union: the hero Tintin visiting a factory realizes that it is in fact a simple decor. He also discovers that does not distribute bread to young children who are not communists, and that the Government diverts crop farmers for propaganda purposes abroad. There is also a scene where three communist address a gathering of people to carry out a "vote" among a list communism and a non-communist list. The three communist ask those who are for the non-Communist to raise their hands, while shining their revolvers into the crowd. Person n'osant raise their hands, the Communist list is therefore elected unanimously.
To create Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, Hergé has not had the opportunity to visit the country in which Tintin was sent, or to draw on a wealth of documentation. All the elements contained in this episode were provided by Moscow without sails, written by Joseph Douillet, former consul of Belgium in Russia, in Rostov-on-Don. In his book, Douillet attack strongly communism and the Soviet Government; Tintin in the Land of the Soviets is somehow setting comic Moscow without sails, which was its main source documentary.
The documentary sources limited
Herge has never been in the USSR, it draws its information mainly in the book Moscow without sails written by Joseph Douillet, former consul of Belgium in the USSR. The copies of entire passages, for example a scene where communists are elected by threatening voters with their revolvers (page 33). Here is a quote from the book Douillet:
"The communist comrade Oubiykone (outgoing chairman of the executive committee) gave a speech. Here are the terms in which it apostropha the crowd: "Three lists are present: one is that of the Communist Party. Let those who oppose this list raise their hands!" At the same time, Oubiykone and his four colleagues out their revolvers and désignèrent the crowd of peasants, the weapon threatening the fist. Oubiykone continued: "Who was against this list? Person? I declare that the list Communist pass unanimously. It is therefore unnecessary to vote for the other two." "
Other citation Douillet who clearly inspired Hergé:
"In a village where there were ten schools, it survived under the Soviet regime a high school: mixed. The Communists meet indeed, with a premeditated immoral, the two sexes in schools. "
Later, Hergé tell that he knew of the USSR that what we said in its midst who was the petty bourgeoisie Brussels. As for Tintin au Congo, he will then have as little documented and have fulfilled these adventures pictures of the time. Later, he will seek to avoid such errors in producing a work of considerable documentation for each story.
"I was employed in a newspaper and there was above me the editor, and above the editor, there was the reporter. And the reporter, was the great traveller, when there were cruising yellow, where there were all those who traveled the world as Kessel. So I wanted to make Tintin a newspaper reporter that he too would travel. And on his first voyage, the thing that seemed most important at the time was this country that we reached echoes terrifying and often contradictory, it was the Soviet Russia."
The first work of Herge
In creating this story that Hergé has learned to make the BD. Tintin, at the beginning of history, no fine and has the air of a big lourdaud scout, but in the end, it looks much more the character that we know. However, the technique of dialogue integrated into the design is far from being the best. In some ways, these 138 boards have allowed Hergé everything an apprenticeship.
Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, originally published before the war to 5 000 copies, was the only album not to be taken over by Casterman, according to the will of Hergé. The album became quickly found and collectors were obviously willing to pay dearly for having a copy. Also, counterfeits they saw the day. It was not until 1973 that the album was found republished in the form of a volume of the Archives Herge. In 1981, to counter new pirated versions, Tintin in the Land of the Soviets was reissued in the form of a genuine facsimile. For 70 years of Tintin, Casterman, with the permission of the Herge Foundation, published Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, always in black and white in the same form as other albums, against the will of Herge who wanted the Tintin first album remains outside the actual series.
A "pirate" colour is still circulating.
A hero still rough
The character of Tintin was brand new, drawing refined during the adventure. "Houppette" hero "is not always the same form. Although it is in black and white, this album has allowed Hergé preparing its design. The character of Tintin is not yet fully defined. It is one of three albums where you can see Tintin drunk (the others being The Broken Ear and The Crab with the Golden Pliers). However, it is already generous: it invites a beggar to dinner with him (the beggar will prove to be an agent of Guépéou disguised).
An episodic style
Because the type of publication (two pages per week), adventure resembles a series of gags or mini-ups, interspersed with denunciations of Soviet totalitarianism. At the end of each second board, Tintin is regularly threatening to maintain the suspense. Each week, the work of Herge Tintin is to get out of the danger which threatens or to invent something new.
Anecdotes
On May 8, 1930, when the adventure was finally released in Petit Vingtième, the newspaper announced the return of Tintin at the Gare du Nord in Brussels and hired someone to play the role of Tintin. A crowd rushed immediately to the station, demonstrating the success of the work of Herge. The scene was also included in the album.
