Tintin is one of the superstars whose appeal has not waned over the years. I am from India and it gives me a lot of pride to say that Tintin has been to India in the The Cigars of the Pharaoh. Though Tintin is an unknown face outdide the urban locales in my country, in the next few years it will assume new heights of popularity. So hats of to the evergreen reporter. People have to understand that when Herge' did that particulair adventure he was under no pressure and was in his late sixties.
People change with time.
Haddock would always like Whiskey. Calculus was just giving pills to help a revolution. Tintin had grown up a bit. You can tell he was older. That was not exactly the most brilliant adventure.
