Herge's Tintin the classic Belgian cartoon is to be censured due to its racist "slurs".
"Until last week, we were unaware of the existence of Tintin in the Congo, first published in 1931, but are now keen to read it. A trawl of London bookshops failed to turn up a copy, for a simple reason: a statement from the Commission for Racial Equality, calling the book “racist claptrap” which should be removed from bookshops, has made Tintin in the Congo into a bestseller."
