Arre O Tintin!
Reading this this Guardian article on Tintin, and browsing this anarchist pastiche, in which Tintin morphs into a revolutionary leader, makes me want to go sharpen my pencils and start drawing a Tintin pastiche myself.
It shall be called "Tintin in Rampur", and in it Tintin will travel to Rampur gaaon, located in Taluk Bollywood, in order to rescue a yummylicious actress called Basanti from the clutches of a real life Chambal ka dakoo (i.e., dacoit) called Gabbar Singh. The climax will involve Snowy snipping at Gabbar's, um, sensitive geography, saying "ye ... mujhe de de, Gabbar!" in Snowy-auge, while Tintin will end up exploring Basanti's choli to discover the answer to that age old puzzle 'Choli Ke Peeche Kaya Hai?". Also in the course of such adventures, Captian Haddock will most definitively get drunk on bhaang, add pungent desi gaalis to his rather tame repertoire of curse words, dance Bhangra (he can easily pass for a Sardar given his thick beard) all the while crooning "Mehbooba Mehbooba". As for Thomson and Thompson or Bianca Castafiore, you tell me, kind reader, what we should make them do in course of this great comic strip, soon coming to a theater near you?
