I wish this Tintin Ice Cream truck would take a spin through my neighborhood. Think they have Whiskey ice cream for the Captain?

Ken Plume photographs Tintin and John Hodgman

Posted on August 12, 2010 | Leave a comment

A little while ago we were treated to the presence of several talented and funny people at the store. These so-called ‘people’ included those known to the world as Ken Plume and John Hodgman. While sitting on our expensive and custom made furniture – which is for sale and designed by LEE Industries – Ken was kind enough to snap some photos of John holding our favorite boy reporter.

Ken also snapped some photos of Tintin while driving. Apparently, taking your hands off the wheel of a moving car to photograph Tintin is completely above board in the world of comedians and celebrities.

Thanks, Ken and John, for these photos. You are very fun men and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

You can learn more about Ken Plume at his site “FRED Entertainment” and on Twitter. For those of you who don’t already stalk follow John, you can at his Twitter and on his make-believe website, or just watch him on The Daily Show.

Does this Eraser look like Tintin?

Who knew that Japanese Erasers from the 80s paid an homage to Tintin! Maybe a little skinny, but I think the likeness is striking. Thoughts?
