Several undocumented migrants on hunger strike rest

at Saint John the Baptist Church

at the Beguinage/ House of Compassion in Brussels.

1983

 

Georges Prosper Remi    1907-1983

known by the pen name Hergé,

from the French pronunciation

of his reversed initials RG,

was a Belgian cartoonist.

 

He is best known

for creating The Adventures of Tintin,

the series of comic albums

which are considered

one of the most popular European comics

of the 20th century.

 

He was also responsible

for two other well-known series,

Quick & Flupke

(1930–1940)

and The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko

(1936–1957).

 

His works were executed

in his distinctive ligne claire drawing style.

If It Were My Home

 

The headlines tell a lot

about the crisis in Yemen:

internal strife, evacuations

of international aid workers,

Saudi Arabian airstrikes.

 

But you may have

one very basic question

that you can't easily find

an answer for:

How big is Yemen, anyway?

 

You can look at maps

and check out Wikipedia

but wouldn't it be great

to just to slap an outline of Yemen

on top of a map of the United States

to get a sense of its size?

 

IfItWereMyHome.com

lets you do just that.
