If it helps at all, I, a modest but fluent French speaker, do second Jock's translation.

"Cinquante ans" = "Fifty Years"
"Travaux Fort" = "Hard Labour" (a prison sentence)
"Gais" = "Jolly"

Makes sense: Herge must have felt as shackled with Tintin as Conan Doyle was with Holmes.

Balthazar:
(There's that well known drawing he did of himself at the drawing board with Tintin standing over him with a cat-o'-nine-tails whip.)

Sorry this is off-topic, but I've seen that picture before, but didn't save it with my collection of Tintin pictures. Is there anybody else who saw the picture of Herge lying in a sort of chair, exhausted?
