Over at our parent site – ShopEssentials.net – we are having a one day sale on all Asterix merchandise to celebrate the Mighty Gaul’s 50th Birthday! The sale starts at midnight on the 29th and lasts 24 hours. Oh, and if you buy $75.00 or more, you get free shipping. What a deal!
File this under: amazing.
Sculptor Adam Beane has immortalized two of the funniest comedy duos since Laurel and Hardy by creating hyper-realistic mini-busts of Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. Not only is the art amazing to look at, he managed to make it is so small. Absolutely fantastic.
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost will reunite in the Winter of 2011 as the bumbling detectives Thompson and Thomson in the upcoming Speilberg/Jackson film Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn.

Over at our website, ShopTintin.com, we received word of a Tintin-themed restaurant and lounge in Montreal called Le Petit Moulinsart. The Belgian/French establishment is covered in Tintin images and its lounge is even called Le Pharoan. Check out a screen shot from their website.
Notice of the Montreal eatery made me think of the only other Belgian restaurant I know of covered in Tintin – Petite Abeille, or “Little Bee”. Many of us from ShopTintin have eaten at the Petite Abeille location on the East side. The food is fine – typical bistro style with mussels, frites, etc. – but the real reason to go is for the large selection of Belgian beers on tap and the outside seating. Be sure to check it out next time you are in the City.
Do you know of other restaurants in North America with Tintin as the theme, or at least a presence? If so, leave a comment with details.
