If you like Syldavia and its traditions, maybe you will be interested in visiting this article from an argentinian blog. It talks about the battle of Zileheroum, and how to draw the History. I hope you enjoy it. http://elojodelhuracan-estudio.blogspot.com/2009/01/zileheroum-o-cmo-dibujar-la-historia.html Regards, Carla Mr. Cusack,

It feels just so good to see the odd talented conservative young man out there (where are the girls, BTW). Good as it is, so far I feared touching your website with my unclean hands, but, if Syldavia is your favourite country, then you may want to know this lesser hit in Spain honouring this country (I mean, Syldavia). Please excuse the early 80s looks and both the TV-shy attitude and less than perfect playback of the musicians (luckily, the frontman had got more seasoned by then already). Against all odds, La Unión became one of the biggest pop acts in Spain in years to come. In all, I think the song has aged quite well...ladies and gentlemen, Sildavia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPoDgvEpNBc (Un nuevo destino para el ocio...a new leisure destination...but only after Tintin saved the country from the mischevous insurgence).

A 'kuif' is a fringe. It seems the reporter was ahead of his time in the hairstyle department, although I can find no reference to styling gel.

God willing, it (& I) will find a permanent home some day, in western Europe. Poverty will probably preclude me from moving on to incunabula or sixteenth-century books, however.

Tintin is just the beginning. Soon you will be looking at incunabula and 16th century books. As an antiquarian, you already have a lot of interests that would make a fine, even traditional collection. For example, you could collect the history of the church, or illustrated books with flags, or of monarchies. Good luck. You might find the world of bibliophiles very congenial.

Lacking any evidence one way or another, we must assume it continued.
