Half-edit, half-tribute to Le Louxor cinema.

12 upvotes 0 comments
It's famous for being decorated in an Egyptian style, and in 1981 was even declared an "Historical Heritage" site. My guess is that artist Hergé and crew changed the name slightly to avoid any copyright concerns, but that could be wrong.

The various characters come from Hergé's three biggest series: *Tintin* / *Jo, Zette & Jocko* and *Quick & Flupke.*

Pretty cool design, hey?

Le Louxor's got an interesting history, which includes being saved from possible demolition in 2003 by a concerned coalition. More:

The 'edit' idea comes from some similar Tintin splash pages, one of which is here:

This once again isn't an ideal edit post, but today as I was researching a Nancy edit (the one about her asking for a loan) I discovered a load more in that style, and am now trying to sort through, organise, and figure out which of like a dozen or so I want to post next time. Cya Tuesday!
