The Adventures of Tintin is a comic series that became wildly popular in the 1930s and remains
popular to this day. Work in groups of six. Choose a comic series from any time period and see
if you can find some copies in your school library or from online sources. Read some of them
and choose one or two episodes of that comic series that you find especially enjoyable. Now
do a presentation on the comic series to the rest of the class: talk about who created the series,
when and where it was first published, what it is about and what you liked about it, especially
in the episodes you have chosen. Find out if the comic series you have chosen has a cartoon
adaptation, and if yes, show some clips from it.

Here are some popular comic series you can look at:
 Calvin and Hobbes

 Peanuts
 The Adventures of Asterix

 The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck
 Moomin

 Garfield
