Daily Trivia 11/11/2014

Inspiration for Tintin came from multiple sources :
  • Palle Hulde, a fifteen-year old Danish boy who traveled the world
  • Herge's own brother, Paul Remi, military man who, not only partially inspired the look, but also the name. Paul's nickname in the military for awhile was Major "Tintin".
  • Herge's earlier character, a boy scout named Totor.
  • Another comic character, not Herge's named Tintin-Lutin.


Amazing what you can uncover, isn't it?
