Thanks, Maahey...it's amazing to me that I've never heard of this strip on these shores. Any other USns know this comic? The only Tintin I know over here is Rin. (as in Rin Tin Tin)

Saw the Tintin strip in newspapers when I was in UK ! Never seen it here in US.
Glad to share my 75th birthday year with such a handsome bachelor!
Hmmmmmm.

I've seen Tintin books here in the US. Never read any of them.

Wow! Can you believe it? Maahey, have no fear, I know who and what you are talking about. Along with Asterix comics, Tintin was my favourite reading for a while there (can't remember how old I was). I think The Secret of the Unicorn was my favourite, but I'm stretching my memory.
Happy Birthday / Anniversay Tintin!!

Oh I love the Tintin comics, my favorite's the Calculus Affair... or Red Rackam's Treasure as I used to listen to dramatised versions of them on tape during my English-deprived years in China!

I never could stand Tintin. The character, that is, not the books. Self-righteous, wet little twerp. I enjoyed all the other characters, but Tintin himself struck me as a priggish little killjoy. Of course, I only read half a dozen or so, and maybe the character suffered in translation, but.

The other characters certainly made the comic what it is, and Captain Haddock's insults...  http://www.quebec3d.com/images/tintin.jpg
