One of the cool things about walking around in the old area of Brussels near the Grand-Place is that you can unexpectedly come across giant murals on the sides of buildings illustrating scenes from the Adventures of Tintin. This series of comic books was created by Belgian artist Georges Remi (who wrote under the pen name of Hergé) and was one of the most popular European comic series in the 20th century.
Here are photos of a few of those murals that I took in September, during a previous trip to Brussels. I really like the colors and the style of the illustrations and the way that they were integrated into the buildings on which they were painted.

Some of my grandson’s favorite books, even though he is only 4. Thanks for including photos of these walls — he will enjoy them.
Tin Tin used to be on TV as a cartoon when my kids were small. I like the murals.
Thanks. It’s fun to play tourist a bit (though I end up working a lot while I am here). I’m glad you like the murals (even as an adult I still like cartoons).
I love the the wall cartoons in Brussels!! One day I’ll go and walk the tour that covers all of them. 🙂
