Now Tintin happens to be natively written in French, but alas for those French
chauvinists, the author, Herge (Georges Remi) was Belgian, and the comic was
first published in a Belgian magazine.
Now, to go off topic for this group, Tintin would be a nifty LEGO theme... Just
think pirate ships, spaceships, castles, Egyptian ruins, Amazonian ruins, wild
west scenes, new headgear (bowlers at a minimum), a mini-fig scaled small dog,
trains and more....
