Mézières experiences in the United States have provided the inspiration for several magazine articles published in Pilote, Tintin Magazine and GEO as well as two books – Olivier chez les cow-boys ( Olivier with the Cowboys ), a children's book written by Pierre Christin with photographs and illustrations by Mézières about a visit Christin's son Olivier paid to the ranch Mézières worked on in Utah and Adieu, rêve américain ... ( Farewell, American dreams ...), again written by Christin with photographs and illustrations by Mézières, a nostalgic look back at their time in the United States.

The last three complete Tintin adventures were produced at a much-reduced pace: The Castafiore Emerald in 1961, Flight 714 to Sydney in 1968, and Tintin and the Picaros in 1976.

Additionally, Patrash Pasha ( Cigars of the Pharaoh ), Sheikh Bab El Ehr ( Land of Black Gold ) and General Tapioca ( referred to in The Broken Ear and appearing later in Tintin and the Picaros ) are all referred to but don't appear.

In 1976, a few months after the publication of Tintin and the Picaros, Hergé told the journalist and author Numa Sadoul that he was contemplating the next adventure of Tintin — setting an entire story in an airport departure lounge.

It was not such a surprising request ; de Moor had worked with Hergé since 1951, was responsible for running the Studios Hergé in his absence, adapted the animated film Tintin and the Lake of Sharks into comic-strip form, and worked on the previous book Tintin and the Picaros with Hergé alone.

Borduria is depicted in King Ottokar's Sceptre and The Calculus Affair, and is referred to in Tintin and the Picaros.

In Tintin and the Picaros ( 1976 ), the South American banana republic of San Theodoros, ruled by General Tapioca, has formed an alliance with the Bordurian government, which has sent him military advisors, including Colonel Sponsz.

In Tintin and the Picaros the San Theodoros army is supplied by Borduria with AK-47-reminiscent assault-rifles and Mil Mi-1 helicopter.

In fact, revolution seems like a tradition in San Theodoros, as evidenced in Tintin and the Picaros, where it is said that mass executions after a revolution by firing squads is a tradition.

The capital, Los Dopicos, is shown in The Broken Ear as having a seaport, whereas in Tintin and the Picaros, it appears to be inland.

In Tintin and the Picaros, the Paris Flash report clearly claims that the country is, as a matter of fact, in South America, since Bianca Castafiore reportedly " continued her brilliant progress through South America ", after successfully visiting Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela, and is to visit San Theodoros.

Most of the population seems to be humble and poor, as depicted in Tintin and the Picaros.

The most visible honor bestowed in San Theodoros, as showed in Tintin and the Picaros, is the Order of San Fernando.

The last controversial album is Tintin and the Picaros, which has been seen both as left-wing and right-wing.

Hergé's attack on big business and its interference in national politics went all the way to the final completed story, Tintin and the Picaros.

* Lisa Simpson is delighted at the sight of a rack with Tintin and Asterix comics in a comic book store, depicted in The Simpsons episode " Husbands and Knives ".

He is referenced in Hergé's The Adventures of Tintin, The Seven Crystal Balls published in 1944 by Le Soir.

His best known and most substantial work is the 23 completed comic books in The Adventures of Tintin series, which he wrote and illustrated from 1929 until his death in 1983, although he was also responsible for other well-known comic book series such as Quick & Flupke ( 1930 – 1940 ) and Jo, Zette and Jocko ( 1936 – 1957 ).

Hergé has become one of the most famous Belgians worldwide and Tintin is still an international success.

* 1929 – The Adventures of Tintin, one of the most popular European comic books ever, is first published in Belgium.

There is also a 90-minute BBC radio version, starring Richard Pearce ( BBC Radio's Tintin, as well ) as John Trenchard.

South African singer / songwriter Gert Vlok Nel compares Tintin to God in his Afrikaans song " Waarom ek roep na jou vanaand ", presumably because Tintin is a morally pure character.

French philosopher Michel Serres noted that the 23 Tintin albums constituted a "" to which " the work of no French novelist is comparable in importance or greatness ".

Syldavia ( Cyrillic: Зилдaвиa ) is a fictional Balkan kingdom featured in The Adventures of Tintin by Hergé.

In their book Tintin Ketje de Bruxelles ( Casterman, 2004 ISBN 2-203-01716-3 ), Daniel Justens and Alain Préaux have documented how the Syldavian language is based on Marols or Marollien, the dialect of the Marollen, a formerly working-class ( though now trendy ) quarter of Brussels.

Szlaszeck ( apparently from Polish szaszłyk, " shish kebab ") is served to Tintin with mushrooms and a salad.

The gargantuan complex is last seen at the end of Explorers on the Moon, and is never again seen in the Tintin series.

* In the Tintin album The Broken Ear, Zaharoff is parodied as the weapon trader Basil Bazarov, who sells to both parties of a single conflict that he helps provoke.

The Red Sea Sharks is the nineteenth of The Adventures of Tintin, a series of classic comic-strip albums written and illustrated by Hergé, featuring young reporter Tintin as a hero.

The Red Sea Sharks is notable for bringing together a large number of characters from previous Tintin adventures, going all the way back to Cigars of the Pharaoh:

The Red Sea Sharks is an adventure in which Tintin investigates the supporters of Sheikh Bab El Ehr's overthrow of Mohammed Ben Kalish Ezab, the Emir of Khemed.

Meanwhile, Dawson, realizing that Tintin is once again meddling in his affairs, resolves to take drastic measures.

The officer, Mull Pasha, is in fact Doctor Müller, an enemy whom Tintin fought against in The Black Island and Land of Black Gold.

Unbeknownst to Tintin and Haddock, the Ramona is one of di Gorgonzola's own ships, used in the slave trade.

Tintin finds a slip of paper in the radio room with an order to deliver " coke ", and is puzzled.

At this point the Ramona is saved by the arrival of combat aircraft from a nearby US Navy cruiser, the USS Los Angeles, whose crew had been radioed by Tintin.
