He knew he was not going to survive long. He wanted to create something different in his final album. He chose abstract art on which he was researching for some time. Abstract or contemporary art being theme in comics is something unheard of. He wanted his final Tintin series to be unique and added some literary merit. He brought back Tintin's old villains and acquaintances of past series to make a final... http://www.tintinologist.org/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=1&topic=1186 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:48:58 -0800 http://www.tintinologist.org/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=9&topic=359 robbo: So the English name is actually completely different, just sounds similar.

Plus of course Marlinspike not only sounds a bit like Moulinsart, but it also has a nautical connection, being a tool used by sailors to unpick rope. And I know the fish over the door to the Hall is most probably a Haddock (and not a Marlin), but it all fits very nicely. Going back to the original point...

That often happens. Since I do not know where you live this might be difficult, but my suggestion would be to go to a Chinese or Tibetan shop, a tattooist for example, and ask them to write out of the name of your guests in Western letters but in Eastern writing style. If you take your copy of "Tintin in Tibet" with you then they might get the ide... http://www.tintinologist.org/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=4&topic=3460 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 08:19:01 -0800 http://www.tintinologist.org/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=8&topic=1285 The Tiger mask from Red Sea Sharks Haddocks look priceless. http://www.tintinologist.org/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=8&topic=1285 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:31:01 -0800
