Tintin!

Warrior4Christ made me think of Tintin again. The dockers, the cowlick, the cute little sarcastic Snowy dog! It's been a long time since I've read Herge, but you gotta love Tintin!!! It's classic. Who's your fav character??

*Mine of course is Captain Haddock*

I love Tintin too!!!

My two favourite characters are Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus. I like both.

O.o Never heard of Asterix and Obelix. Billions of blistering blue barnacles and a thundering typhoon.

I have read both Asterix and Tintin. I like snowy and dogmatix, the two dogs in the comics. Perhaps my most favorite Tintin book would be The Golden Crab.

Anybody here remember the rare Dilbert cartoon? I still recall this one episode where they went to communist Russia or something and Dogbert had this 'diplomatic immunity' card that he found in a dumpster to get around. It was hillarious. They had these little babies with huge Soviet mustaches. XP

The very first Tintin book is set in Russia.

Yes, we got that at Barnes and Nobles' a while back. No color, primitive design, but eventually he got to the style that I like.

Next time I'm at Barnes & Nobles I will have to look to see if I can find Tintin.
