		"Tintin and the Picaros" is the final adventure of Tintin, although there is not any sense of this being the end of the road (except for the surprising discover that suddenly Captain Haddock can no longer stand the taste of alcohol).
		As the story begins the Captain and Tintin are discussing the state of affairs in San Theodoros, when General Tapioca's dictatorship continues to rule in place of their old friend Alcazar.
		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.

		But then Tapioca charges Haddock, Tintin, and Professor Calculus are declared to be part of the conspiracy and a series of charges and countercharges, as well as outright insults, fly back in the forth in the headlines between Haddock and Tapioca.
		However, this turns out not to be the case, and when Tintin does arrive on the scene you know that Hergé is providing a standard adventure for his hero and his friends, and not something special, even if the final panel does make a point about the plight of Third World countries.

		As in The Broken Ear, the invented language of the Arumbayas (at least in the original version, translations may differ) is actually based on Marols, the Brussels Flemish dialect Hergé's grandmother spoke.
		Contrary to the more certain politics of earlier works such as Tintin in the Land of the Soviets or King Ottokar's Sceptre, Hergé here presents a more weary and (perhaps) less naive Tintin who permits (with large restrictions) a coup insofar that it serves his means.
		It is a coup that brings no change to the people of San Theodoras, rather than a triumphant liberation and Tintin, fatigued of adventure, wises to return home rather than bask in the moment.

	Tintin and the Picaros
		First published in Tintin between 16/9 1975 and 13/4 1976.

	Comic creator: Hergé (Georges Remi)
		In fact, the character Tintin was often compared with the stereotype of a boy scout.
		Especially the work on the Tintin reprints - which were being redrawn and colored - was too much of a burden by then.
		While the books 'Tintin au Tibet' (1959) and 'Le Bijoux de la Castafiore' (1962) are regarded as his best works, the last completed book, 'Tintin et les Picaros' (1974), is generally held to be Hergé's worst effort.

		I had always figured this emotional reaction was due to the fact that Tintin and the Picaros is the last of the wonderful series.
		It's advisable to read The Broken Ear before Tintin and the Picaros in order for the reader to become acquainted with the politics of San Theodoros and the characters Pablo and Dr. Ridgewell.
		I have been reading Tintin books for a long time, and this book is one of the better ones of the collection.
