Tintin Forums

Well, i've been researching the 70's wars and conflicts. I looked through Youtube for vidoes and realised that there's a big movement to ban-the-bomb and the conflict of The Vietnam War. I believe that Tintin, in the midst of the end of Flight 714 and before Picaros, wants to speak up that he supports world peace. That's why we see the peace logo on his helmet. I wonder wheter Tintin went to one of those peace protests.

Any views of Tintin and his involvement in the peace caravan?

P.S: This is just a theory

Sorry for this mostly off-topic post, but I thought some clarifications is due.

That's why we see the peace logo on his helmet.

Actually it was designed as a anti-nuclear symbol and not a peace symbol.

The original meaning has over time changed so that nowdays almost nobody knows that it was part of the anti-nuclear movement. Just like the famous V-sign of Churchill are used by people saying "peace" at the same time. The V-sign of course means victory which is not the same as peace.

So Tintin might just be against nuclear power or nuclear weapons, if Hergé intended the original meaning of the symbol.
