Le Petit Vingtième

Le Petit Vingtième was a comic book that the Eleventh Doctor picked up a standing order of at a Parisian newstand in 1923. According to the Doctor, they were full of "ever-so-slightly racist adventures" that eventually got better after having "had a word". (COMIC: The Doctor Shops for Comics)

Behind the scenes

Although not named, the "slightly racist" comics published in Le Petit Vingtième are implicitly early Tintin comics, with Tintin in the Congo being the subject of particularly sharp criticism for its demeaning portrayal of the Congolese and its positive representation of Belgium's colonisation thereof (all of which author Hergé later apologised for, going so far as to redraw the story completely for later reprints and include a strong theme of anti-racism in later Tintin stories).
