	Tintin comic magazine
		Tintin was the Belgian magazine for realistic comics during the second half of the 20th Century.
		The title character, 'Tintin', was created back in 1929 for Le Petit Vingtième by the Belgian artist Georges Rémi, also known as Hergé; and was already extremely popular.
		He was relieved to leave Tintin after fulfilling his contractual obligation, but 'Modeste et Pompon' was continued for several years by artists like Dino Attanasio, Mittéï, Griffo and Walli and Bom.

	Walky Talky: Tintin & Snowy Get Laid
		Tintin's relationships with his companions are never obscured by the crypto-gay male bonding that is traditional in masculine adventuring.
		Tintin is one of those characters that have transcended their original sources and taken up occupation in the popular imagination.
		Tintin, Haddock and Snowy all have clear voices in the original stories -- "The poor devils!" -- "Thundering typhoons!" -- but here their dialogue is difficult to tell apart, and instead they become mere cyphers of themselves.

	Thumbnail: Hergé
		TINTIN IN THE LAND OF THE SOVIETS, a fl and white strip that introduced the two central characters of the TINTIN series: Tintin, the boy reporter himself, and his faithful dog, Snowy.
		This character was based on a real acquaintance of Hergé called Chang Chong-chen, who was a student of the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium and who encouraged Hergé to more thoroughly research the countries visited by Tintin.
		Tintin's final appearance is as a captive of his nemesis, the villain Rastapopoulos, who plans to rid himself of the boy reporter by, fittingly, turning him into a piece of art; a plastic 'sculpture'.

	Ersatz Info-Rama: Tintin
		But, as with any serial, the adventures of Tintin are bound by their circularity, by the demand to return t o equilibrium on the final page.
		His terrier Snowy senses trouble: "Seldom hear Tintin talk so much." Soon, Tintin, Snowy, and Had dock are off to Peru, where they quickly fall in with a small party who, on the surface, resemble acquaintances from past adventures -- aristocratic types, hotel-dwellers, far from their native Europe.
		Characters in the latter category -- notably the native Lieutenant dos Amantes -- fall somewhat flat; perhaps Tuten is a little too respectful, erring in not giving those characters the wry twist which makes the others so engaging.

	The Hindu : Laugh it out with Tintin
		The characters in Tintin not only appeal to children but also to the child in every adult.
		Tintin first appeared in a comic strip on January 10, 1929, when Britannia ruled the waves and Belgium was an imperial power.
		However, the fact that Tintin is still going strong 75 years after he first appeared speaks volumes for Herge's ability to spin a yarn.

	Tintin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Tintin is probably the strangest character in the history of the strip cartoon.
		It is this lack of personality which enables him to change from having been a colonialist in 1930 to taking sides with guerillas in 1975 without any feeling of contradiction.
		As a neutral character he fulfils marvellously the essential role of a hero of a cartoon series, allowing readers scope for identification.

		The international public in the Adventures Of Tintin looks upon her as a divine heroine while the real characters of the series, the ones of any importance, have no appreciation for her whatsoever, with the exception of Calculus, who is clearly in love with her.
		She is one character that you could say is of both the greatest and least importance.

	Project Report by Satyendra Kumar Gupta, S.Prashanth Aditya
		Past work was focussed on isolating distinct features of a character like its hair and images were scanned using the "dark hair on light background" concept etc. In addition to this, [Syeda:1999] gives a method of scanning the entire image as well.
		What this means is, since all the main characters have the same colour (facial), this method of segmentation can be used as a primary step to detect almost any major Tintin character (with the exception of Snowy and the one odd cats in Marlinspike Hall!!).
		Character recognition is all about verifying as many features as possible to get closer to recognising the required character.

	Tintin - Articles
		What Tintin reader has not noticed a little detail, an error or a discreet allusion, thinking they were the only one who knew the "secret?" Let's have a look...
		Georges Prosper Remi or or Herge (for that was his pen name) spent the rest of his long life writing and drawing the adventures of Tintin, boy reporter, whose courage and ingenuity, good manners and fine sensibilities, were constantly challenged by strokes of great fortune and misfortune, as is often the case with heroes...
		When the new version of the Black Island appeared in August 1943, seven of the eight Tintin adventures available were still in their original version, in fl and white (even though they had enlivened, in the meantime, by a few four-colour display pages).

		Being the main character of all the adventures, what we can say about Tintin is really less than any other character in all the volumns.
		He never really helped or saved Tintin as Snowy always has(only except in The Red Sea Sharks when he acted like a real captain to steer the ship away from the torpedos), but his passionate expressions(taken from Ahmed Fasih's site) and penchant for whiskey turned to be almost as important as the stories themselves.
		His real character comes out during his encounter with millionaire misanthrope Carreidas when they argue as to who is the devil incarnate, one of the funniest scene in all the albums.

		His taste for whisky is widely recognized as well as his famous insults: comical expletives, devoid of all coarseness and only aggressive because of their ‘sonority’.
		A whisky and a good pipe in front of a cosy fire, after an invigorating walk in the countryside, seems to be all he desires of life.

		Not only the stories of the albums of Tintin are well built and captivating, reflecting a social reality that Hergé actually analyzed at the time of many voyages, but also the decoration is invariably of a meticulousness and an unusual exactitude in the comic strips.
