Hello

Now it's time to find a grotesque corporal or to be precise:

Find the dead Adolf Hitler lookalike and name the album and the page.

The man, who is the lookalike, is actially very kind and helpful. He has no hat, his eyes are closed and he looks like late Adolf only in one frame (maybe in two).

I couldn't help asking this question because this pseudo-Dolphie always jumps up when I see the frame.;)

I think the dead Adolf lookalike is the taxi driver rescued by Tintin in The Calculus Affair at page 21.

Hats off to you, alvarolino. The point and the turn to you.

Poor taxi driver, after all he doesn't look evil to me.

I just got American post, quite cute these little Tintin books (3 in 1) and easy to take with. Funny, the pagenumbering is strange, why couldn't it be the same as in the original versions.

bye :)

I've never noticed the resemblance! wow!

They are cute and great for travelling. But the big books are so much more fun!

Yes, they are, especially if the albums are in the condition as mine, mouse-eared, coffee spotted and loosening pages.
