Tintin Au Congo Hearing Postponed

A single wire story (so far) notes the postponement of an additional hearing in the Tintin Au Congo trial. This was to be the hearing following the one in late November when the case was made by the legal team brought to bear by Congolese citizen Bienvenu Mbutu Mondondo and a supportive civil rights group against the work's presence in kids sections at libraries, and the legal team representing Casterman failed to get the case dismissed. The hearing will take place next week, and a decision is expected six to eight weeks after that hearing. As most comics fans know, Tintin Au Congo is filled with all sorts of imagery that are extremely hard to bear; whether or not this can be processed by its intended audience as an outcome of the time in which it was created seems to be one of the principles that will be brought to bear. There are also obvious, potentially drastic implications to either direction the court may choose to go.
