Mash-Up: "The Uncanny X-Men" by Hergé
For everyone not into comic books:
1) Hergé invented “Tintin”. This hero was very successfull when printed on paper. Now he is rather successfull in cinemas. (As of today “The Adventures of Tintin” grossed over $ 300,000 worldwide!) And…
2) “The X-Men”. Well, if you haven’t heard of them you may have landed on the wrong kind of blog here.
But what I really wanted is to showcase the works of French artist “Yop!”, who did some very nice mash-ups. And shares them with us on his website “Mooloozone”.
“L’Affaire Magneto” mixes the X-Men and the famous drawing style of Hergé called “Ligne claire”. I’m a huge fan of this exact, articulate kind of comic books and somehow it even works with the X-Men! But it changes the pace from action to storytelling.
Yop! was so kind to translate this comic into English, you can download the full five pages as an PDF here.
If you are speaking French, there are two other really great pieces:
A mash-up of Conan and “Little Nemo in Slumberland” – Brilliant! Here.
And “The Smurfs” mixed up with “Sin City”! Now that would have made the movie a lot more interesting. Imagine Bruce Willis instead of Neil Patrick Harris! There.

It’s fascinating to see how the same ‘funny’ (worth a discussion…) pics, lolcats, mashups, facepalms and memes rotate in the net. But let’s put things in the right order:
reddit -> imgur -> 9gag -> facebook -> blogs
After some time things are reposted to reddit and everything starts again…
Chololi - Tell her about it! Her Nose Hair...
Are you afraid to tell your friends that their vibrissae are revolting? Is it the right thing to do? Or is it impolite? Will they thanky you or never talk to you again? Well, now you can tell them anonymously by using the brand new webservice “Chololi”!
Quote: “When you just happened to notice that your friend or girlfriend/boyfriend’s nostril hairs are showing from their nose, were you able to tell them “Hey, your nostril hairs are showing. Why don’t you pull them out?”
Especially when that happens to be a lady’s, it quite difficult to tell them so. For all people who are thoughtful and in a difficult position, we give you “Chorori” the deputy service for notification about nostril hairs.”
Hmm… Suddenly “I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy, saggy, shaggy, ratty, matty, oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen, knotted, polka-dotted, twisted, beaded, braided, powdered, flowered and confettied; bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!” comes to my mind…
Visit Chorori or Chololi. Whatever.
