Week 2 Tintin
Blog Discussion Threads for Week 2
Do you think comics are a children's or adult genre/media?
According to Farr (1991), Tintin was aimed for all young people aged from seven to seventy-seven. Thus the comic book of Tintin, for children's view would be a little superhero's adventure and saving the saving the world. For adult’s view it is more likely to focus on political and irreverent of many topic in society for example the underground focusing on the drug world. However I personally think that comics were first introduced and targeted as entertainment for children. However comic genre became wider aged group as teenagers and adults were also interested with comics genre. So comics in terms of ages rather than genres.
