		THE CASTAFIORE EMERALD may in many ways be Herg's masterpiece, and it is unquestionably the funniest of all his tales, revolving as it does on the theme of miscommunication ("No, this is not Cutts the butcher!").
		Castafiore has been around for a long time (since King Ottokar's Sceptre) and not to write a book that centered on her would have meant many fan's letters asking for such.
		When the Castafiore Emerald came out in the early 60s, reportedly some critics went berserk, pronouncing it the birth of a new art form.

		The two are standing beside the still-running tape player discussing the matter when Signora Castafiore enters and asks the hapless Herr Wagner why he isn't practising, and Tintin replies that he clearly is, just listen - whereupon the none-too-sharp signora catches herself, apologises to her sweating accompanist and walks out, reassured.

		Later in his career Herg set himself of writing what amounts to a kind of anti-Tintin adventure, where nothing really happens to his cast of characters (there are no opium smuggling rings to smash nor any political coups to thwart), and yet everything happens all the same.
		Still, "The Castafiore Emerald" is well worth the read Hergý does a delightful take on that new fangled invention, the television.
		With the interplay of the Captain and people like Castafiore, the pet parrot, troublemaking journalists, and the insurance broker, Jolyon Wagg, this Tintin album is hilarious from beginning to finish.

		We would have to revisit Terry and the Pirates for something comparable, but even so, Tintin has acceded to the summit of its art form, its worldwide appeal unabated, while Terry and the Pirates and the other great adventure strips this side of the pond are all but forgotten.
		Volume 7 begins with The Castafiore Emerald, where the artwork is almost psychotically draftsman-like, some would say even antiseptically so.
		Bianca Castafiore's domineering personality is shown in all its glory, with paparazzi infestations, colour television developments, gypsy settlements, prejudice, tabloids, roses, birds and of course, the Emerald.

		Probably the slowest-moving and most sedate of the Tintin books, it was conceived as a narrative exercise by Herge.
		They investigate and upon learning that the community chose that site on account of being forbidden to use any other location, the Captain invites them to his grounds of his estate, Marlinspike, over the objections of his butler Nestor.
		As soon as the emerald is found, it is (temporarily) lost once again by the Thompson twins, only to be found again a few frames later by Snowy and called a "rock", underlining the fact that the emerald is merely a McGuffin for the whole story to happen, and is in itself meaningless.

	Buzzwords Blog: 3AM Magazine: 3:AM REVIEW: TOM McCARTHY'S TINTIN AND THE SECRET OF LITERATURE
		In spite of this, or because of this, McCarthy seems rather fond of the Captain, and in books full of not only humour but gags, Haddock, he says, not only makes a fine Situationist prankster, but his repetitive slapstick tripping over things and his continual Baudelarian falling is against life itself.
		As Tintin connoisseurs will be aware, Frederic Tuten worked through issues of Tintin's manhood in Tintin in the New World, where the boy finally gets to use his penis and becomes a husband and father.
		Artist Jochen Gerner -- who did the book TNT en Amerique, Herge's Tintin in America masked under fl ink with only a few selected words and colours revealed -- interprets Herge's The Castafiore Emerald [remember, the emerald is a clit].
