Character Information
|
Tintin is a reporter and adventurer whose adventures have been written down in a series of comic books.
History
Tintin lives in Paris with his dog Snowy and best friend Captain Haddock. The three of them were in the audience when Princess Penelope was in Paris singing and playing her guitar.[1]
Tintin's comics are sold at Coolsville Comics & Toys. Lisa Simpson was surprised to find them in the store, because she thought that they only existed in high school French classes. She read the comic Tintin in Paris and accidentally tore one of the pages. Lisa felt terrible about damaging the comic and quickly apologized to Milo the store owner, but Milo wasn't angry because he understood that it was an accident.[2]
Bart Simpson is also a fan of Tintin's stories and owns a copy of the comic The Crab with the Golden Claws.[3]
Behind the Laughter
- In real life, Tintin, Snowy and Captain Haddock are fictional characters in the Tintin comic book series created by Hergé.
- The Crab with the Golden Claws is a real Tintin comic.
- Tintin in Paris, the comic that Lisa reads at Coolsville, is not a real comic but a pastiche of the Tintin comics The Black Island and Destination Moon.
