Has Tintin ever made you cry?

#1 · Posted: 26 Mar 2014 08:12

Hi guys.
When I read Explorers on the Moon I felt like crying at one part, and I really did.
I want to know if others are like me too or not?

Which particular part?

I can't recall any of the books making me cry. However, Frank Wolff's sacrifice did leave me feeling a bit misty eyed when re-visiting the book years later. I guess that comes with an adult understanding of life and death and the choices some people feel they have to make regardless of outcome or effect on others.

That's the exact part - me and one of my friends cried too.
Just wanted to know if others are like this as well?

I felt shocked and a bit sad myself when I read Explorers on the Moon. Wolff is one of my all time favorite characters.

Yes! Every time I read a Tintin book, watch the movie or look at my collection, I realise that I'll never quite be like him, and that does, quite literally bring a tear to my eye. Am I the only one? Surely not!
