DRUGS.
Lots and lots of drugs (Opium).
That aside I see Tintin as a character created by Hergé that can be identified with by many audiences (perhaps children, adolescents and adults both males and females.) The life that Tintin leads is one that is full of adventure and for that reason enviable.
As discussed in class, Tintin has a rather simple face with two black dots for eyes, a simple nose and a small mouth. This is like a canvas that the reader can project themselves onto so they can enjoy the story as if they were part of it.
Political correctness, or its definition has changed since this book was first written in 1936, today it is completely inappropriate to show children drug use in the form of comic. Especially the frame where Tintin himself, a boy who Hergé suggested is about fourteen years old, is smoking opium (Was this even okay back then?)
