To me, the adventures of Tintin are a wonderful part of my childhood.
My father read the Tintin stories to me and my brother before we were able of reading them ourselves.
I would like to say Tintin and his friends have contributed to making me the man I am today.
For instance, Le capitaine Archibald Haddock is a great source of inspiration to me.
Seriously speaking.
I can think of more profane invectives than his “Freshwater pirates!” (don't recall what album this expression is from, I'll have to google a bit), but not of a more degrading one.
I'm not easily offended myself.
People can call me whatever they want as long as they don't compare me to complete losers like actual freshwater pirates:D
Nice to hear from you again, WC.
I love Tintin as well. Wish he were better known here in the US.
Has there ever been a Tintin movie or cartoon made in France?
