Explorers on the Moon

Cartoon drawn by Hergé himself, in celebration of the moon landing

In honor of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing and the incredible prescience of Hergé in writing Explorers on the Moon a full decade and a half before Armstrong walked there.

The text in the speech balloon translates to, "Welcome to the moon, Mr. Armstrong!"

Flowers

I have seen them strutting nestled in arms
displaying proudly their wiles and charms

I have seen them settled in a lady's hair
chatting in the company of people fair

I've seen them gleaming in grand bazaars
Out doing a chandelier's crystal stars

But I cannot remember when last I saw
One in a meadow, earth wet from rain
spangled with dew
hidden from view

It has been long
but if I were there today
I'd go on my knees and say
"You look best where you belong"
