ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
There are several people without whom this book would not have been what it is, or simply not have been
at all. I am grateful to George Miller and and Sajidah Ahmad at Granta Books for helping to shape it; to
Jonny Pegg and Shaheeda Sabir at Curtis Brown for helping secure funds to write it; to Simon Critchley
for sharing his thoughts on simulacra, humour and economics in contexts both formal and in-; to my library
pal Sally O’Reilly for putting me on to Paul de Man’s essay ‘The Rhetoric of Temporality’; to my mother,
Penny, for first exposing me to Hergé’s work when I was seven and the many people in dialogue with
whom I have developed my ideas about Tintin, literature, or both since then; and to Eva Stenram, for
being great.
