  1. Who doesn’t love Tintin. It’s amazing the staying power this character has, especially since he was developed in the 30s! I enjoy the fact that this commemorative mural is in the Brussels railway station. The graphics are still so appealing. Thanks for contributing to this week’s Monday Mural.

    • I read your London post. Had never heard of it before. I’ll check out the Tintin museum if I ever get some free time on a Brussels business trip!
