Happy 78th birthday, Tintin!

Nice hair, bro...

Today is the anniversary of a great comic debut: the funny pages revealed in 1929 the adventures of the worldly Tintin. That weird little mohawk, that smart, itsy dog, who knew the French could come up with something so, that is, tres, charming? Tintin was so popular in fact that it has been translated into over 50 different languages. But trulee, you 'ahven't experee-unst ze real Teenteen unteel you ahv red eet een zee oreejenal wan.

Unless you've spent time overseas you have no idea how big TinTin is. To the rest of the world Spider Man is like American Football and TinTin is Futbol.

I got my first look at Tintin at the allergist's office, reading through those issues of Children's Digest. Tiny, black and white, and utterly captivating.

I tell you, Haley Joel Osment woulda been the PERFECT Tintin. And Geoffrey Rush as Captain Haddock.
