Les Gorilles de la Vedette ("Bodyguards to the Stars")
"Les Gorilles de la Vedette" would be more like "The Star's Bodyguards" since it is about Thompson and Thomson charged by their chief to act as Tintin's bodyguards and protect him from the crowds that mob him in the course of his adventures: from the mob welcoming him back to Brussels in
Soviets, to the scene with the monks in
Tibet following the rescue of Tchang (with the Thomsons threatened by the Yeti).
We have scenes of Tintin from the books where crowds are present, while the Thomsons bungle their assignment: for example, while he meets the press at the end of
Black Island, they flee from Ranko the gorilla. When Tintin gets his medal from the King of Syldavia in
Ottokar's Sceptre, the Thomsons are shown in hospital following the incident with the chandelier.
Another
Tintin by de Moor was a one-page strip drawn for a book called
Les Magiciens d'eau ("The Water Wizards"), which included strips from artists such as Benoît and Juillard (who have since worked on the re-launched
Blake & Mortimer series), Jacques Tardi, Manara and Uderzo.
It was published in 1987 for the benefit of the Fondation Daniel Balavoine, a charity which works on water projects in Africa.
In this strip, Calculus comes up with a product which turns all forms of liquid into pure water. Nestor is doing the washing-up when he finds that the water he's been using to do the dishes is pure and drinkable. Haddock then screams the house down when he finds that his whisky has been turned into water! "An all-out violation of human rights" is how he puts it. It concludes with Calculus going to Khemed and using his product on some newly-opened oil fields. As a result, water comes out of the rigs instead of oil, leaving Ben Kalish Ezab bemused.
This strip was published four years after Hergé's death, and is actually very well done.
