The adventures of tintin netflix3/16/2024 Thomson and Thompson have had a surprising cultural impact as the make a cameo in the comic Asterix in Belgium and inspired the band name The Thompson Twins. These comics were released in 1941, 19 respectively, and introduced the character of Captain Haddock to the series as well as using the classic Thomson and Thompson characters. The Adventures of Tintin is derived from the plots of three of Hergé’s (Georges Remi) Belgian comic books The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham’s Treasure. His supporting cast often includes the drunk/heroic socialite Captain Haddock, the befuddled yet brilliant Professor Calculus and the grossly incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson. He is always accompanied by Snowy, an almost anthropomorphic visage of a white fox terrier given his impressive problems solving abilities. If you are not familiar with Tintin, he is a young Belgian reporter who often finds himself dragged into dangerous and bizarre cases, but rarely seems to hand in a story to an editor. Naturally, I followed Tintin from page to TV screen with the early 1990s animated series and then the 2011 Steven Spielberg film which is now available on Netflix. They were the first comic books I fell in love with, my gateway drug into that world that led me to Batman, Spider-Man and more. One of the fondest memories I have growing up in small town Saskatchewan is going to my local library to pick from their collections of two specific titles Asterix & Obelix and The Adventures of Tintin.
