Given the news that the first story of Tintin will enter the public domain for the first time how long it will take before all of his stories come to the public domain? Also, after the 80s comics are last added to the public domain do you guys think people will create new stories of Tintin traveling to other places of the world he has never visited before like Japan? I think our future great grandchildren will create some of the best new stories out of Tintin as well as potential crossovers with other future series that will be added to the public domain. So, how long will it take before Lupin crosses over with Tintin? I think a crossover like that would be interesting, but that's just me and my crossover dreams.

Am I just weird or does someone else ship them too? Idk, they just seem so cute together, and when Calculus was kidnapped in the Seven Crystal Balls the Captain had that little depression spiral, and Calculus ran to hug him when they saw each other in Destination Moon.

Shrug. I just think it's a cute ship. Also they're prob about the same age.

Also, unrelated, but Zorrino from Prisoners of the Sun is the cutest thing ever to exist (tintin is also adorable)

Does anyone remember coming across a channel like this? They'd stretch character proportions, add creepy sound and screen effects to 1991 cartoon footage. Heavily reminded me of The Mandela Catalogue back then. I want to rewatch it again but coundn't find the channel anymore

A few days ago Tintin in the Congo was published for the current Greek Tintin run. (We don't have separate simultaneous publishers.) I genuinely did not expect it to be as bad as it was. Even ignoring all the racist stuff, the writing and plot wasn't that different from Land of the Soviets.

Ok, so what? The first two Tintin albums are infamously horrible. What I don't understand is how quickly the issues were fixed. Tintin in America is pretty mediocre but there's a coherent narrative and story to follow.

Afterwards we get to Cigars of the Pharaoh and The Blue Lotus and all the problems are fixed, so much so that they are considered some of Tintin's best stories.

Like, there wasn't a gradual increase in quality. One day Tintin stories just...stopped being bad.
