It was a French comic book, but in the early '90s they did do a cartoon of them on TV.
So if anyone else does like them, which was your favorite? Mine are The Black Island, The Seven Crystal Balls, and The Secret of the Unicorn. |

It is a French comic about a young reporter who solves mysteries. (They are translated into English).

I know that they're still in print in French; my French teacher has some of the books.
It was a cartoon too; I think they were once on TV here in the US (dubbed, and many, many years ago).

Not french (insert high scream) I'm taking it. Oh well, it'll probably get me extra cred.

I'm sure they're still in print. Most big book stores will have them or at least order them for you.

Oops! sorry about that! I just knew them in English, and I assumed Herge was French (bu come to think of it, I may have known he was Belgian many years ago). Is that why it's pronounced Tonton instead of Tantan?

Yes, Herge was Belgian, with slightly Nazi'ish views, last time I heard.
Great comics though. My favourite one is of course, red rackham's treasure. Although, I like the secret of the unicorn, and that one about aliens, (flight 714). Tintin rocks! And cap'in Haddock, of course!

I guess it's kind of like making the mistake of getting on Entmoot and saying LotR was written by PJ. We need to give the right country credit for doing something we like!

You're right BoP, he slightly had that kind of views, that's why one of his albums was only very recently released because it wasn't deemed suitable then. Tintin is the French name and the name used in every other translation. I don't blame you, Belgium is easily overlooked and a large part of it IS Frenchspeaking. I just thought I'd rectify it. Sorry for screaming.

I quite understand -- it's like walking into a Canadian bar and saying that "Canada's just part of the United States anyway" or something like that.
Hey, how do you pronounce Kuifje? |

Thanks for understanding *gives Azalea a virtual smartie*
The pronounciation of Kuifje, oh this is going to be a tough one getting it in phonetically English....This is the closest I can get: the 'ui' is pronounced as the 'u' in run but a bit more stretched, like 2 twice as long in sound. The 'j' is like the 'y' is 'yes' and the 'e' is very short like a cough the 'e' in 'trek'. The 'k' and 'f' are pronounced as in English. How does that sound?
