As a kid I read the full series of Tintin stories. I'm still a fan of Tintin. Today I learnt from TIMESONLINE site about Dalai Lama honoring this young brave hero. This is just wonderful. The award honours individuals and institutions that have made a significant contribution to the public’s understanding of Tibet. Hergé’s Tintin in Tibet, published in 1959, is the 20th in the classic...

A video tour and chat with Luc Mieuws, who has been collecting all things related to TINTIN for a dozen years. A fun tour and the amount of TINTIN collectibles is boggling. I forget how wonderful the "clean line" drawings of Hergé are to linger over. Within a minute, I was getting iterested in having a couple of the items that Luc has as well! Och! Thanks to Jogee for putting this...

2257. There be lots of Tintins here. And Snowys. And Thom(p)sons. And Haddocks. Even a Thompson Triplet. Sadly, no Bianca Castafiore, Professor Calculus, or even Jollyon Wagg. You can't have it all.

I particularly enjoy the one I've chosen to illustrate, by artist David Chelsea, since I'm also terribly...
