In a Finnish comics newsgroup there was a trollish person who was
convinced that every other newsgroup reader was a fanatic Rosa fan and
tried to make us understand that Rosa is not the best comics creator there
ever was. He prooved this by informing us that Rosa's engineer humor is
in extremely bad taste (because it's engineer humor). When somebody
compared your work with Herge´s, the person found this (the act of
comparing you two) offensive.

That's okay. English is a European language, after all ;)

That's a kids' program? I always figured it was meant for college-level
people. (Maybe when they're high, but still.)

I know of one story that almost fits the description. Don Rosa's
recent adventure that was set in Finland. Called "The Quest for
Kalevala" or something like that. But the mill (Sampo) ground salt, flour
and gold.
