The comic style by Herge and Carl barks are simplistic and cartoony- very closely related to simple style that shares with animated characters. Most animated characters are simple and readable when created, so that they are also easier to be animated. This can keep the reading pace seemingly faster.
I read this week Herge, Explorers on the moon. The illustrations mixed with the colors definitely look outdated. I'm guessing 60's or 70's for the space travel theme. The story is cute and simple, as are the illustrations with the same line density. It definitely looks like its targeted towards children more than anything.
