I work for the Red Cross in New Zealand and am trying to trace a missing person urgently. His sister currently needs a bone marrow transplant and Eric may be a good match. If he reads this appeal or somebody who knows him does, please e-mail marian.
Time is of the essence.
Undercover police confiscated some 650 copies of a comic book entitled Tintin in Thailand and three men were taken into custody but later released. The book depicts Herge's boy hero Tintin, generally a model of propriety, engaged in homosexual acts in a bar. Snowy, a fox terrier, is depicted perfoming similar acts with a Siamese cat. Other scenes show reporter Tintin and his friends, Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus, on a pub crawl in Bangkok's Patpong district. The forgeries, which were printed in Thailand for distribution in Belgium, are believed to have been in circulation since December 1999.
