Tintin and Medicine?

Tyler Shores sends this note:

We are excited to be organizing a Tintin symposium at University College London on January 10, 2014 and one of our colleagues had wondered if this might be of interest to your scholarly work in comics and medicine? (I had noticed a few Tintin and medicine connections, and it sounds like a fun area of exploration, such as this article: http://www.cmaj.ca/content/171/12/1433.full)

Here is a link to our CFP: http://fanstudies.wordpress.com/2013/08/12/cfp-the-adventures-of-tintin-symposium-london-10-january-2014/.

Please let us know if you have any questions about our event. Your attendance would be most welcome by all of us!
