Mention two connections between Walt Disney and Tintin from the Tintin-albums.
Albums, pages and panels, please.

1. in The Crab with the Golden Claws (p.17, frame 1), the sailor's name is Jumbo, that matches Mrs Jumbo, Dumbo's mother in a film by Walt Disney (Dumbo, 1941).
2. in Tintin and the Picaros (p.54, frame 7), Mickey Mouse can be seen walking next to the coach!

Yamilah gets there first again! You have to be extremely quick to answer these.

May I also offer up as another answer that Professor Topolino (The Calculus Affair pages 25 & 26) gets his name from Mickey Mouse in Italian.

Yeah, I was actually thinking of this and Picaros but Yamilah was right nevertheless. Congratulations!

I hope everybody gets a point, and I suppose it's my turn to pose next question.
