Does anyone elselove the Tintin comics??
My brother and I both read them all when we were younger; We fell absolutely head-over-heels-in-love with them!!!
I've seen most of the animated tv episodes too.
Just a bit of Trivia:
Did you know that Herge's(the author) real name was Georges Remi, his intials being GR, and when mixed around are RG, pronounced in French as 'er-jay', therefore 'Herge'?
How cool is that!!
Sorry, I'm a bit obsessive:)

I remember growing up in Quebec and the teachers using them to teach us young anglophones French. It was a good method. I have never read an english version.

I've prolly read all the comics...when I was young though. Great comics! They kinda remind me of Astrix, Obelix and dogmatix!

Really? I haven't read the French versions, but I've seen them around on the French displays we sometimes have at school. The bit of trivia I picked up about Herge's name is from my french lesson. It was on a sheet we had to do.
