Tintin in Tehran

Posted on July 24, 2009 | 2 Comments

Just stumbled across this image. I think it’s a bit old, so pardon me if I am posting an image you all have seen before. But, given the recent events in Iran, it seems fitting.

Man who gave Snowy his name is dead at 80

Posted on July 16, 2009 | Leave a comment

130742403Michael Turner (1929-2009), who with Leslie Lonsdale-Cooper translated The Adventures of Tintin into English, passed away in his sleep on Friday July 10, 2009. Michael and Leslie were responsible for giving Snowy and Professor Calculus their English names, and provided us with the “unique” translations of Captain Haddock’s vocabulary. Without Mr. Turner, the English speaking world may have never fallen in love with Tintin.
