By the whiskers of Kûrvi-Tasch! Tapestry

Great Snakes! I must have read every Tintin adventure a hundred times growing up, and the adventures of the Belgian boy reporter would go on to have a profound influence in my life, inspiring both my archaeology and my art. Without wanting to commit any plagiarism I would like to present this tribute to the world of Herge - the infamous flag of Borduria, that sinister autocratic state which served as a mirror of very real countries in Europe throughout the '30s, '40s and '50s, complimented by the famous Bordurian expletive; a phrase referencing both their totalitarian leader, Marshal Kûrvi-Tasch, and their flag.
