Tintin Forums

You know you're a Tintin fan when you start doodling sketches of Tintin and his friends during a quiet time or when you're simply bored. I still do this, and my notebooks just seem to be crammed with Tintin's faces at every unused space!

You know you're a Tintin fan when...

-you remember the first Tintin book you have ever read (it was Destination Moon when I was 5)
- You read Tintin in class until was punished by the teacher
-You think about Tintin and others constantly, even in dreams
- You love Tintin so much that you have to create one for your own because you can't dare steal him from Herge ^^
- You copy every single page of the comic because you love the art so much.
- You refuse to buy any cheap things but spend a whole lot money for a Tintin T-shirt.
- You feel angry when the person you are talking to knows nothing or mocks about Tintin (to the point that I hated her and never called her friend).
- Whenever you are in a comic section, always check for Tintin first.
- You spend a whole day just read about Tintin.
- And finally, you love him for your life (and afterlife if that really exists ^_______^)

You know you're a Tintin fan when....
-You still have a Tintin doll since you're a kid and treated him like a human (actually happened to me,I treated him like my own little brother! XD)
-You saw a quizz with a Tintin merchandise as a prize on a magazine,however since the magazine is so expensive and you can't buy it,you secretly torn the coupoun and bring it home,hoping that you can answer the quizz and won the prize! (actually happened to my mom! XD)

Moderator Note: Let’s keep things legal, thank you! Tearing coupons out of magazines in shops is stealing (and stopping some other fan from entering the competition), and not something of which Tintin or The Tintinologist Team approves!

The Tintinologist Team

You know you’re a Tintin fan when you download an interview of the ex Australian Prime minister/ ex foreign minister having a conversation with the Belgian Ambassador about Tintin.

I just got a tattoo of Snowy / Milou because, well, I've always wanted one. Instead of the spider, I have a friendly swastika that he is scared of, and of course the symbolism is that most people are afraid of the swastika unless they do research and realise it's a wonderful symbol and not so scary once you get to know the importance of it in the World. :-)

You know you're a Tintin fan when you hear the word Gorgonzola on a cooking show and immediately shout, 'Rastapopoulas!'
And you wear your bright blue jersey in hopes of looking like Tintin!
You cry when one of the books you own is ruined :(

You know you're a Tintin when...
- You earned the title "Haddock" in your name, given by your family and friends, because you're the only person that can drink wine without getting drunk! (actually happens to me, My real name is Patricia Grace Halim, now everyone called me Patricia "Haddock Grace Halim!)
- You saw a film titled "Braddock: Missing in Action" in your TV schedule and before you notice it says "Braddock" you think "OMG! Haddock is missing!? Tintin must find him immidiately, Rastapopoulos could behind this!" (actually happens to me,a few days ago! XD)

You know you're a Tintin fan...
- when you make Tarte Tatin (a buttery, apple sweets), you always think of Tintin and in fact call it "Tarte TanTan."
- when you make waffles, you prefer to make Belgian-style waffles (because of course that's where Tintin is from!)

:-D Oh! This makes me want to make a Tintin-themed recipe book haha. //feels silly//

When you see a poster of a proboscis monkey in the school hallway and instantly think of Rastapopoulos and "Flight 714".

*chuckles*

My addition!

When you meet your friends from chemical engineering(/pharmacy/any major that deals often with chloroform) major, you warn them,"Don't sniff chloroform too often, or you'll be dizzy and faint (like Tintin!)".
