In the age of mass media, incomplete work can reach an audience due to sheer demand for material by the artist. "Tintin and Alph-Art", the 24th comic in Hergé's popular "The Adventures of Tintin" series, was unfinished at his death. Though he had illustrated a significant part of the book, several sketched panels remained in the final scenes, with no clear outline for the last third of the story. The book was still published and the story can be followed despite the incomplete artwork.
