	Fictional character (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The protagonist (main character, sometimes known as the "hero" or the "heroine") of a novel is certain to be a round character; a minor, supporting character in the same novel may be a flat character.
		Some 18th and 19th century texts, on the other hand, represent characters' names by the use of a single letter and a long dash (this convention is also used for other proper nouns, such as place names).
		Minor characters, or stock characters, are often the focus of this kind of analysis since they tend to rely more heavily on stereotypes than more central characters.

		Tintin and Old Master Q are two VERY different characters and yet are still hero's to many dispite their different approach to being a hero...if Old Master Q can be counted as a hero.

	Tintin By Herge : An anniversary special
		Haddock uses all sorts of words as insults, such as "blistering barnacles," "bashi-bazouk," "waffle iron," and "anacoluthon," but no words that are actually considered swearwords in the real world, thus making him perfectly appropriate for any audience.

		The character is based upon a real friend of Hergé.

		Tintin and the Picaros takes Tintin and Snowy to the jungle of San Theodoros where they help General Alcazar over throw General Tapioca with a band of guerilla soldiers in a wild adventure.
		But while "Tintin and the Picaros" and the other two tales found here are average adventure at best, there can be no doubt that taken together these 21 stories (23 if you count the two earlier "flawed" adventures) are a major accomplishment in the field of comic books.
		Tintin finally hangs up his dated golf trousers in favor of bellbottoms and also carries the CND sign on his helmet (real hippy style).

		It begins with Tintin and Captain Haddock out for a walk and discovering a band of gypsies camped near the rubbish dump.
		Meanwhile, Captain Haddock's life continues to be a string of minor misfortunes and misunderstands thanks to Castafiore, Professor Calculus, the parrot, Thompson and Thomson, and the unwillingness of the local repairman to come out and fix that step.
		Of course, by this time in the series Hergé is completely comfortable with his cast of characters, which shows in the interplay, although I admit the diva is not my cup of tea.

		This is the only Tintin adventure where Tintin does not journey to distant lands for his adventures - the action is all sentenced around his home.
		This is a classic chapter in Tintin's life - or more to the point: Captain Haddock's life, for his relationship with Castafiore is explored over the main plot - a mystery surrounding her lost jewels.

	Every character in Tintin unique? - Tintinologist.org Forums
		I notice a lot of characters are very similar, especially minor characters and women, but even then, I think they are distinguishable from each other.
		You see the hair style, the shape of the face, the proportional distance between eyes, nose, mouth and chin, the clothes (established in a character's early scenes), height, body shape and graphic colouring and you recognise the same character from panel to panel.
		Of course it is not just a simply drawn character that will invite empathy, the story, and other factors, have to be engaging - but that is to leave the subject of cartoon facial features.
