Tintin political scientist

Tintin will demonstrate in this adventure the superficial, theatricality (Carnival) of Latin American political regimes, dictatorial mimetic inspiration (Tapioca = right; = Alcazar with Cuban bearded). Tintin will end the cycle of vengeance because he has sworn to Alcazar General not shed blood, even if it is contrary to traditions!

As the report Bonfand Alain - Jean-Luc Marian in "Hergé"

"Ethics is the only serious political Lampion understood, who exclaims: -. Vive Alcazar ... it's a bruiser!" Barely modified quotation of Tintin cry in "The Broken Ear" "Vive General Alcazar! This is a guy! "

The winks are numerous and fun like the Thompsons attached to the firing squad ask:

"- You should not have a historic speech by any chance?
- Uh ... "Santhéodoriens I understood you!" Ca ... would you believe? "

Tintin Combat alcohol ravaging the Indian peoples Arumbayas, parachuted by "civilized" Tapioca regime.

Finally, it is the third album, after "The Crab with the Golden Claws" and "Explorers on the Moon" where Tintin is facing a pardon (here made by Pablo). "You have me one day saved the life I've never forgotten."
