Comments about '''Hergé and ideology'''.

[[Hergé]] started making the comic strip series [[Tintin]] in 1929 for the children's section of the [[Belgium|Belgian]] newspaper ''[[Le Vingtième Siècle]]'', run by the [[Abbé Wallez]], a supporter of social Catholicism, a right-wing movement. He continued on other media until his death in 1983.

== Sexism ==

Hergé has also been accused of sexism, due to the almost complete lack of female characters in his books. Indeed, most women in Tintin's adventures are secondary characters, usually caretakers. Moreover, these women don't present a flattering image of women: for instance, General Alcazar's wife is an awful shrew.  The only woman character of importance in a world of men is Bianca Castafiore.
