Tintin's Adventures on the Internet

In the twenty-four books that Belgian comic artist Georges Remi, under the penname Hergé, wrote about the indefatigable reporter Tintin (who somehow hardly ever got around to reporting), the one-named hero traveled far, all the way to the moon.

As the Internet has grown, so have Tintin's online adventures. If you are not familiar with Tintin (and that should change in the next couple of years, as we get ready for the release of the first of three Tintin movies by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson), certainly the best way to "meet" him is online. Then, of course, don't forget to read the books.

Tintin Lives!

With news of a trilogy of Tintin films by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, I realized that most of us in the United States have no more appreciation for Tintin than we have of soccer. So, with this blog, I hope to change that - about Tintin (I'll leave soccer to someone else). I'll be writing some articles when I can't find the information already available on the Internet, and I'll be pointing you to some unlike Tintin links.

So, welcome. Think of me as Snowy, Tintin's faithful and rather cynical canine sidekick (whether I share Snowy's taste for strong drink, you don't need to know), tagging along on the adventure.
