I re-read Tintin in America today, and noticed characters who are visually quite similar to J.M. Dawson and his unnamed friend who appears in The Blue Lotus.
In fourth panel of page 58, the fourth one from the left resembles Dawson's hairstyle, toothbrush mustache and circular glasses. (Except shape of face. His face are shorter and rounder compared to Dawson.)
Also man with a white mustache who appears in the same page and calls the detective, is extremely similar to unnamed Dawson's friend with green suit. (Page 7 of The Blue Lotus).
Can they be Dawson and his friend? Any thoughts?
