Now charlize, I got the question u asked but It could not be
given an absolute answer. Now, Tintin was inspired by Herge's
younger brother Paul Remi. Herge has other characthers namely,
Tintin's predecessor Tortor. Tortor was a boy scout created by
Herge in 1923 for Le Scout Belge (The Belgian Scout). I could
conclude that Tintin was some sort of code name or is common name
used to mention him.
Lorry, your question was how to get Tintin watches. Unfortunately,
is rare here but common in France and Belgium. The price, by
Blistering Barnacles is quite high. $300.00 US.
Huiz, you asked about the origin of Snowy. Herge never told anyone
about Snowy's origin. Snowy is a male-white fox terrier and always
accompany Tintin wherever he goes.
Anymore questions? Please post below. Thank You.
