This chapter examines the depiction of Congolese people in comics, focusing on Tintin au Congo by Georges Rémi. It suggests that Tintin au Congo is notorious for its depiction of animal slaughter and its caricatured representation of the black body and it racialized humor is elemental, largely arising from contradictory pairings and episodes of misrecognition. It also describes comic-based advertisements produced by Europeans for Congolese people and the icons and aesthetics of interwar Congo.
