Foxes can be spotted in:
- America, escaping from the prairie on fire (p.38-D3)
- Flight 714, as Carreidas's jet code name "Golf Tango Fox" (p.9-D1)
- Flight 714, as a cigarette brand name (p.42-D1)

Where else can a fox be spotted?

Please quote album, page and panel.

When Herge was a boy scout he assumed the name 'Curious Fox'. And you can see Herge in 'Tintin in the Congo' page 1, panel 1 (he also makes cameo appearances in other books).

This is sort of related, and knowing that Yamilah likes odd relations/connections it might be correct.

Snowy is a fox terrier.

Snowy is seen almost everywhere.

Tintin gets caught in a man trap in Black Island page 15 third frame. This kind of trap is called fox trap in swedish.

Hello

There is a head of a fox on a wall in Black Island, page 36, the first frame in the Finnish edition. I hope that the pagenumber is the same in the English edition. Anyway Tintin is in a pub called Ye White Hart. I remembered seeing a fox somewhere on a wall. But there must be some foxes left somewhere, I'm quite sure.

...but he never features as such in Tintin, nor under that nickname...

Snowy is a fox terrier.
...hence not just a fox!

This kind of trap is called fox trap in swedish.
... but I can't see a fox caught in it, and it isn't named as such in Tintin English edition!

There is a head of a fox on a wall in Black Island, (...) in a pub called Ye White Hart.

Well done!
There's still one more fox to be found, for someone else to get a point -if admin OK's that, of course.
Maybe Rocky deserves a point for his knowledge about Herge?

Thanks, but no thank you; Points should only be awarded for the correct answer :-)

Good morning

Yamilah, are you still waiting for extra answers? Have you desided who get the point(s) and who is to make the next question?

Yamilah, are you still waiting for extra answers?

Yes, I expected one more answer (the fox from Congo) to allow someone else to possibly get a point too.

Have you desided who get the point(s) and who is to make the next question?
tuhatkauno certainly gets the point, thus please set the next question!
