Last two I've been to I bought them Tin Tin books
because they're cool.

A bit not for babies, though
And I never liked Tin Tin, I'm more of an Asterix girl.

But Tin Tin is stupid too.

No, it's not
it was boring and the stories didn't make any sense. They tried to be real, but they were just too silly.

There's one that is EXCELLENT:

Tintin in the Congo:
'He is made chief of an African village because he is a “good white man”. “This book contains imagery and words of hideous racial prejudice, where the ‘savage natives’ look like monkeys and talk like imbeciles,”

Racism for kids
I recently introduced the Bonzos to my 5 year old. He wanted to hear Look Out There's a Monster Coming, so I looked up a video on my phone and discovered this gem from Do Not Adjust Your Set, featuring the band blacked up to perform the calypso classic www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HeEFxgktVg

Asterix and Tintin were both excellent.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 28 Jul 2011, 9:40, Reply)

Nah
Asterix is just so much better.

Is "cool" another word for "shit" these days?
They're Rupert the Bear stories for paedophiles and racists.

Rupert the Bear was a cunt.

Isn't he Belgian? aka a nonce?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 28 Jul 2011, 9:40, Reply)

The author was, not sure about the character though.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 28 Jul 2011, 9:41, Reply)

He was a dirty nonce.
Don't get me started on the Thompson Twins.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 28 Jul 2011, 9:43, Reply)

The singers?
Or do you mean Thomson and Thompson?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 28 Jul 2011, 9:44, Reply)

The singers were named after them.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Thu 28 Jul 2011, 9:46, Reply)

They could at least have got the name right.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 28 Jul 2011, 9:47, Reply)

If you're playing pedantiprick, it's actually Thomson and Thompson.

Aside from the first 30 seconds after I posted it, I haven't edited that post at all.

Either way, it was like that before you started writing your post.

I considered actually buying this a while back
But it was cheaper then
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 28 Jul 2011, 9:38, Reply)

Yeah that's what I got, well the first book of the collection, not the whole lot.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 28 Jul 2011, 9:41, Reply)

Not surprised, fucking expensive
Worth it though, I suppose.

A few years back I bought my Stepmum the entire Calvin & Hobbes collection, she was absolutely over the moon with it. She should have been, it cost a fucking bomb.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 28 Jul 2011, 9:43, Reply)

Really?
A few years back I bought your Stepmum a 'designer vagina' because I'd ruined her natural one.
