yeee... sapa bilang,.... no telp marlinspike tuh 421 kalo cutts tuh 431
hehehhee....;p

the fact juga herge pernah salah menulis no telp marlinspike karena bingung sendiri.

ini artikelnya:

MARLINSPIKE ?

The telephone affair...

"No, Madam, I am not Mr. Cutts the butcher... No, Madam, this is not Marlinspike 431. This is 421, Madam." So speaks Nestor in the third frame of the first page of The Calculus Affair, and in fact the very first frame of this first page shows us the famous telephone bearing the number 421 in the center of its dial. Why do so many citizens of Marlinspike and its surrounding area make the same mistake? ("It's preposterous!...That's about the tenth time...") Of course, these two telephone numbers are similar, but it doesn't seem that the police station - whose number is 413 - is as troubled by the local housewives trying to reach 431. There must be another reason for this confusion. And the culprit: Herge's pen itself got mixed up in the very first edition of the book! Even though the mistake was corrected in later editions, the damage was already done. As far as the readers were concerned, Mr. Cutts' honorable butcher shop was listed under 421, and Marlinspike Hall was under 431.


How could this be? Let's take a look at that first edition. The first picture on page 1 shows us a telephone, the center of whose dial is devoid of any number. When we see this telephone again on page 8, the dial bears the number 431. So that must be the number under which the Hall is listed. (Worth noting, by the way, is a drawing mistake by Herge:
Captain Haddock phones the police station - number 413 - however, his finger is positioned in the 8 hole on the dial, the space between 1 and 0 showing that it is a classic rotary dial which turns like the hands of a clock). In later editions the dial was redrawn with the number 421.


Now let's move on to page 13. Calculus hitches a ride on a Cutts butcher shop van which sports Cutts advertising livery and - beneath the license plate - "Tel 421." So that must be the number of Mr. Cutts' shop. Fine.


Let's review. First edition: Marlinspike Hall = 431. Cutts the Butcher = 421. Where Herge gets mixed up is when the captain phones Nestor from Switzerland. "Yes, Marlinspike 421. Thank you, I'll hold on. (...) Hello? Hello, Marlinspike? Hello, is that you, Nestor?..." (p. 43)."

All editions

And there you go. Number 421 is once again the number for Marlinspike, and Herge has been caught in his own trap. No wonder everyone mistakes Marlinspike for the butcher shop! If this misunderstanding is brand new on page 1 of the story, it becomes recurrent throughout the adventure and in many which follow, without ever growing the least bit boring.

The number gag is found on page 1 (without counting the 9 previous times Nestor mentions), on page 3 (twice, without counting the 19 previous times, according to that same old majordomo), on page 8 (twice again), and on page 43. In The Red Sea Sharks it occurs on page 7. In The Castafiore Emerald, on page 5 (on this page, in the prepublication by Tintin magazine in 1961, the dial still does not bear a number), and also on pages 19 and 36. In "Picaros" on page 9. The phone rings again in the rough draft of "Alpha-Art" on pages 2 and 10. One will notice that on page 4 the Captain tells Fourcart, "I'll give you the telephone number at Marlinspike. Here, it's Marlinspike 621." We can only shudder in horror at the consequences this new listing must have had for the captain's nerves (later Fourcart manages to reach Tintin by phone, so the Captain hasn't simply misspoken).

In the midst of all this, how could anyone be at all surprised that Haddock keeps getting orders for steaks and cutlets?


moga2 para penggemar tintin tetap banyak dan terus melanjutkan menggali kedalaman karakter tintin dan fakta2 lucu dr buku2nya....;p ;p

Kapan Rastapapolous pertama kali nongol?

di album tintin cerutu sang pharao (tapi dia juga sempat muncul pertama kali tanpa nama sebagai figuran di album tintin di america, coba liat hal 57, panel ke 5 :D

Ada berapa buku yg covernya muncul di halaman paling belakang? Edisi yg agak2 akhir yah? Bukan edisi awal, soalnya di situ cuma nulis judulnya aja.

ada 20 judul buku album tintin. 5 baris mendatar dan 4 baris menurun. (sebetulnya tintin sendiri tuh ada 24 judul album cuman yg diterbitkan di indonesia hanya 21 judul. 3 judul tintin yg gak diterbitkan di indonesia adalah: Tintin au soviet, tintin au congo, dan tintin alph arts )

urutan tintin sesuai time liniernya:

- tintin au soviet
- tintin au congo
- tintin di amerika
- tintin cerutu sang pharao
- tintin lotus biru
- tintin patung kuping belah
- tintin pulau hitam
- tintin tongkat raja ottokar
- kepiting bercapit emas
- bintang jatuh

sedangkan yg versi the movienya sendiri ada 3 judul albumyg diterbitkan:
- tintin et les oranges bleues (live movie)
- tintin the golden fleece's mystery (live movie)
- tintin danau hiu (karton movie)

fact about tintin: 1 lagi judul album tintin yg paling langka krn gak diterbitkan secara resmi krn albumnya sendiri gak pernah selesai pada proses pembuatannya dan diterbitkan cuman terbatas adalah yg berjudul:

- tintin alph arts
album ini tidak komplit dan hanya berupa sketsa saja.

(bagi penggemar tintin sejati harus punya album ini, baru bisa dibilang tintinology :D )


Berapa negara yg sudah nerbitkan Tintin dan Indonesia di urutan ke berapa?

indonesia... hmmm.... urutan ke 9, dan album tintin sudah diterbitkan ke 50 negara dan diterjemahkan juga 50 bahasa.

mikir gak yach? :D


info ttg alph arts

Tintin and Alph-Art

Publication info: Published in book form in 1986.
Original title: Tintin et L'Alph-Art

Left unfinished when he died in 1983, Hergé’s last episode, Tintin and the Alpha-Art (published in 1986), was to describe the occult world of sects. It was also going to send Tintin wandering into a milieu that Hergé loved, that is the world of modern art and avant-garde. Although the posthumous album is only presenting the scenario and sketches of an interrupted tale, it is however the testimony of the extraordinary narrative and graphic talent of Tintin’s father. Just like Tintin, just like the story, we, the readers, will remain magically suspended to Hergé’s quill.

Abstract: While in town, Captain Haddock saw Castafiore. In order to avoid her, he dashed into the nearest doorway. Little did the Captain know that he was walking into the Fourcart Gallery where an exhibition of Ramo Nash's Alph-art was being held - precisely the place where Castafiore was heading! Unable to escape, the Captain met the gallery's owner and Castafiore, the latter talked him into buying a piece of Alph-art, a letter H in perspex. While in the gallery, Mr Fourcart mentioned to Haddock his wish to see Tintin about an important matter. Later, before he could see Tintin, Fourcart met an untimely death. Tintin suspected that Fourcart's death was linked with the recent deaths of other famous art dealers. Tintin's investigation led him to the villa belonging to Endaddine, a famous Cult leader, and a friend of Castafiore. The villa turned out to be a factory for faking old Masterpieces. Soon after discovering this criminal operation, Tintin found himself a prisoner of Endaddine's, dreading the prospect of becoming the next piece of Alph-art (Endaddine planned to pour liquid polyester over Tintin). This is Hergé's last and unfinished work. Published in 1986, the album contains sketches for Tintin's 24th adventure.

Pulau Pulau Bompa tempat persembunyian Rastapapoulus di Flight 471 tuh terletak di deket pulau besar indonesia. what is that indonesian island?

iya bener... mungkin kalo gak salah perhitungan gwe rasa disekitar kepulauan di maluku sana... pulau2 kecilnya.

tapi yg jadi aneh tuh adalah binatang komodonya... krn di maluku tidak ada komodo... komodo sendiri tuh ada dipulau rinca peternakan komodo


KOMODO DRAGON

I believe that my first exposure to the Komodo dragon was from reading Flight 714, one of the lesser-known of Hergé's Tintin adventures. Flight 714 was the second-to-last Tintin. The French edition (unavailable to me) was published in 1968.

Flight 714 is a peculiar Tintin. For starters, Captain Haddock doesn't get drunk once, and hardly screws up anything! Although there is considerable farce in the bedraggled millionaire Carreidas, adventure-story elements are prominent. Tintin and friends are spirited away to a small pacific island somewhere between Java and Australia where the people speak Indonesian. There is much gunplay, and though nobody gets shot there isn't any "I shoot your gun in two and make you angry" stuff either. Tintin and Captain Haddock wield submachine guns.

More importantly, the narrative goes strangely awry at midpoint. In his later graphic novels, Herge grew bored with normal narratives and invented various ways of disrupting expectations. For example, the Castafiore Emerald is a virtual shaggy-dog tale. In the case of Flight 714 halfway through aliens start directing Tintin telepathically! It turns out that, for no logical reason, the tiny pacific island Tintin and friends have been spirited to is an ancient meeting place between humans and aliens, with temples showing astronaut spacemen and other shades of Erich Von Daniken's Chariots of the Gods (published the same year). Eventually aliens save the day, erase everyone's memory and essentially bring everything back to the way it was at the start of the tale.

In any case, the appearance of the monitor is the first intimation that the island is stranger than first supposed. The monitor (komodo) itself does not reenter the story, but the careful reader has been alerted. Then again, I may be overthinking this.

What is the Komodo? Growing up to ten feet long, it is the largest lizard in the world. Discovered by science at the start of the 20th century, some 6,000 Komodos are restricted to a few small islands in Indonesia. On these islands, they rule supreme. Then can run as fast as a dog for short stretches and prey they merely injure are brought down shortly by the deadly bacteria in their mouths. They spend their days sunning and their nights in shallow burrows.
By Ade Marcus
Komodo Island


Komodo Island has an area of about 340 square kilometers (130 square miles) and is clearly hilly. The highest points are about 735 meters above sea level. Komodo dragons tend to stay below 500 meters but are found at all elevations. The creatures live only on a few Indonesian islands. As shown on the map, Australia is 900 kilometers southeast, with Java some 500 kilometers to the west and New Guinea 1,500 kilometers to the northeast.

Possible Routes (right) by which Komodo ancestors traveled to their current island habitat are still the subject of debate. Whether they came from Asia directly or through Java or Australia first is not clear. Certainly the lower sea levels of the past made more routes possible than are obvious today. The more recent research in the region has updated the decades-old knowledge that we had of the Komodo's current territory (below).

About Komodo Dragons

“The Komodo dragon, as befits any creature evoking a mythological beast, has many names. It is also the Komodo monitor, being a member of the monitor lizard family, Varanidae, which today has one genus, Varanus. Residents of the island of Komodo call it the ora. Among some on Komodo and the islands of Rinca and Flores, it is buaya darat (land crocodile), a name that is descriptive but inaccurate; monitors are not crocodilians. Others call it biawak raksasa (giant monitor), which is quite correct; it ranks as the largest of the monitor lizards, a necessary logical consequence of its standing as the largest lizard of any kind now living on the earth…. Within the scientific community, the dragon is Varanus komodoensis. And most everyone calls it simply the Komodo.” Claudio Ciofi

The Komodo dragon is an ancient species whose ancestors date back over 100 million years. The varanid genus originated between 25 and 40 million years ago in Asia. The Komodo descended from this species and evolved to its present form over four million years ago.

The Komodo is long lived (as are most of the larger reptilian species) with an estimated life expectancy of over 50 years in the wild. In keeping with its longevity, the Komodo matures late in life, becoming sexually viable at five to seven years, and achieving maximum body density in fifteen years. Komodos are sexually dimorphous, which means males are bigger than females. The largest recorded specimen was 3.13 meters in length and was undoubtedly a male. Females rarely exceed 2.5 meters in length. What is perhaps more important, is that the characteristic bulk is achieved by older dominant males in clearly delineated territorial areas. As an adult Komodo can consume up to 80% of its body weight in one gorging, weight is a highly variable factor, and is largely dependent on the most recent feeding. A typical weight for an adult Komodo in the wild is 70 kilograms.

Komodo dragons are first and foremost opportunistic carnivores, and predators second. Although the Komodo can sprint briefly at 20 kilometers an hour, it does not chase down game as do the larger mammalian predators. The Komodo is a stealth predator, which lies motionless and camoflouged alongside game trails for the unwary, which tend to be the very young, the old and the infirm. In an attack, the Komodo lunges at its victim with blinding speed and clasps it with the serrated teeth of the jaw. Prey are rarely downed in the initial attack unless the neck is broken or caratoid artery severed. The more likely outcome is escape, followed by death a few hours or days later from septicemia introduced by the virulent strains of bacteria found in the saliva of the Komodo dragon (the Komodo survive primarily on carrion and ingest the bacteria when feeding).

The Komodo has two highly developed sensory organs – the olefactory and the Jacobson’s - which allow the dragon to detect rotting carcasses from distances as great as 10 kilometers. The yellow forked tongue is constantly being flicked in and out of the mouth, “tasting the air”, and inserted into the Jacobson’s organ located in the roof of the mouth. The individual tips are highly sensitive and are capable of discriminating odors in the magnitude of millionths of a part. Using the information garnered, the dragon wends in a seemingly random, winding path which becomes straighter the closer it approaches to the carrion. The Komodo is typically a communal feeder and any number of dragons might arrive at the site of the carcass.

Socialization occurs during feeding at carrion sites, as does mating. The abdomen is slashed first and the intestines and stomach contents scattered. Young juveniles roll in the fecal matter to mask their scent from aggressive adults, which attack and sometimes kill juveniles during feeding. The dominant male feeds until sated, followed by other dragons in order of size. While the dominant male is gulping down hindquarters and ribcages, the braver dragons chance foraging a few scraps. Virtually the entire carcass is consumed in the process– head, fur, hooves and bones. After feeding, the Komodos become quiescent and approachable while their digestive tracts are converting the food into fat energy stored in the tail.

Between the months of May and August, mating occurs at and around feeding sites. As males outnumber females in a ratio of nearly four to one, the dominant male must fend off other suitors before mating. Males will engage in slashing, biting and bipedular rearing onto the tail, until the dominant male is acknowledged by displays of subservience and the vanquished flees. The female is forced into a prone position while the male tongue flicks her body, and in particular, the fold between the torso and the rear leg close to the cloaca. With Komodos, the male hemipenes are located here as are the female genetalia. Once prone, the male mounts onto the back of the female and inserts one of the two hemipenes into her cloaca , depending on which side he is perched. The month of September is when a clutch of 15-30 eggs is buried in a nest dug with the powerful claws of the female dragon. A typical nesting site is in the composting vegetative mounds of the maleo birds which are indigenous to Komodo.

The gestation period for the eggs is eight to nine months. Hatchlings, which average 40 centimeters in length and weigh 100 grams, emerge from the nest in April and immediately scramble up the nearest tree to avoid being eaten by the adults. There are plenty of small lizards, insects and mammals in the canopy after the brief rainy season in January and February to sustain the juveniles until they descend to the forest floor roughly a year later. This period of change between an arboreal and a terrestial habitat, when the juveniles are a meter in length, is a time fraught with danger. The juvenile Komodo is just too bulky to safely ascend many trees, and not big enough to outrun a ravenous and determined adult. Cannibalism is a fact of life for this species, and perhaps is an evolutionary response to the harsh, arid climate of Komodo.

Prey species for the dragon on Komodo island include deer, boar, wild buffalo, the maleo bird, snakes, reptiles and small mammals. On Rinca, the monkeys and wild horses found there are also constitute prey, as do the goats raised by the local people. On the odd occasion people are also attacked by the Komodo dragon. There have been eight recorded instances of attacks on humans since Komodo has become a national park, almost all of which occurred on Rinca.

Tintin di Soviet pernah diterbitin Indira loh, dengan teks bahasa Indonesia. Kalo gak salah taun 90-an gitu. Gw pernah liat komik ini di Comics Corner, Bdg.

sedangkan yg versi the movienya sendiri ada 3 judul albumyg diterbitkan:
- tintin et les oranges bleues (live movie)
- tintin the golden fleece's mystery (live movie)
- tintin danau hiu (karton movie)

3 judul ini juga pernah diterbitin dg bahasa Indonesia. Rasanya sih sama Indira juga. Cuman udah agak lama, kalo gak salah taun 80-an.

Lagipula, jalur Jakarta - Sydney kan nggak lewat Maluku, dan kontak terakhir pesawat mereka dengan Makassar Tower. Kayaknya terlalu jauh kalo pesawat itu ampe belok ke Maluku.


Flight 714 is a peculiar Tintin. For starters, Captain Haddock doesn't get drunk once, and hardly screws up anything!
Tau gak kenapa Kapten Haddock gak mabok? Soalnya lidahnya udah kena Sani-Cola, di bandara Cengkareng! :D

coba download komodo.zip disitu ada peta rute yg gwe perkirakan.


kapten haddock gak mabuk.... hehehe.... kena sani cola... cuman kalo terjemahan lama... bandaranya masih Halim Perdana Kusuma
yg terjemahan baru : Cengkareng.


fact yg aneh tentang kesalahan herge di album (cetakan lama)cerutu sang pharao:


dihalaman 48. Snowy ketinggalan kereta dan terpisah dr tintin.... dan mereka baru bertemu dihalaman 57. nah pada cetakan lama (bagi temen2 yg masih punya cetakan ke dua atau ketiga bisa liat kejangalan bahwa dihalaman 52, panel ke 9 ada gambar snowy yg ikutan nimbrung waktu tintin berbicara pada raja.
(khusus cetakan lama aja lho, kalo yg baru soalnya udah dibetulkan kesalahan gambarnya)

another mystery..... kali ini mystery man yg gak pernah muncul namanya: (siapa aja penggemar tintin yg tau, please beri tau gwe deh... krn gwe juga penasaran bgt siapa org ini, yg diketahui adalah dia bekerja pada pihak rastapopulus dan pihak dr muller dan dawson)

Pertama kali kemunculan org mysteri ini di album Hiu-hiu laut merah. dihalaman 15 panel 8. org ini yg bercerutu dan memasang bom dipesawat. nama gak disebutkan sama sekali. dan gak ada kabar beritanya lagi sampai tiba2 dia juga muncul lagi di album
Penerbangan 714 sebagai seseorang yg ditelpon oleh Spalding dihalaman 6 panel ke 6, disana kita baru tau namanya walter.... dan gambarnya baru terlihat lagi di halaman 7 panel 13, (pasti org yg sama krn bentuk profil wajah, khas topi, warna rambutnya dan cerutu itu masih tetap sama)....yg mencurigakan adalah di kedua pemunculan tokoh misterius ini selalu bersangkutan dgn musuh bebuyutan tintin: rastapopulus...
so siapakan dia? adakah yg tau bahwa tokoh mysterius ini sudah pernah muncul di album2 sebelumnya? atau dia cuman seorg asassin?

ada yg tau?

daya imajinasinya si herge emang hebat. kesalahan dia cuman gak mungkin roket bisa mendarat dengan tegak kyak gitu. dan pas landing-off gak mungkin kru2 didalamnya tidur tengkurep gitu.

Gw jg punya Tintin di Danau Hiu (yg bukan digambar, tp capture dari filmnya... maaf, gw ga ngerti istilahnya dlm dunia perkomikan mengenai format seperti ini. Comic-movie?)
Trus jg Tintin dan Jeruk Biru (yg juga bukan berupa gambar, ttp capture dr film live-action, sama gw jg ga ngerti istilahnya dlm dunia komik)

Sayangnya, Alpha Art, danau hiu, jeruk biru dan judul2 lain karya herge ga bisa diselamatkan (sori lupa serinya, pokoknya yg cerita anak kecil cewek, cowok + simpanse... gw punya lengkap mulai dr lembah kobra sampe ntah apa judulnya, pokoknya ttg ujicoba pesawat)
Soalnya sudah terkubur di dlm belantara gudang gw. Sampe saat ini gw ga berani ngutak-ngatik gudang 'keramat' itu (padahal di situ ada komik2 super langka, termasuk komik2 gundala, godam, petruk gareng, etc, etc) soalnya kapok.

kayaknya nggak ada dendam pribadi. Tapi sbg anak buahnya Rastapopoulos, wajar aja kalo dia panik ngeliat Tintin. Soalnya, tiap kali bosnya ketemu Tintin, pasti rencana jahatnya gagal. Kalo bosnya jatuh, anak buah kan pasti ketiban sial juga.

ok sekarang info fact:

Who is Tintin?

Tintin started as a reporter of the Brussel journal le Petit Vingtième, at the ende of the early 20's. The young artist Hergé, the maker of Tintin, has always been a little jalous on his creature. He himself dreamt always about becoming a big reporter and journalist.


Tintin is a reporter who don't write anything down you tell him,instead of that he alwasy went out for a investigation himselfs and he was never scared from anybody. Tintin's first tripwas to the Sovjet-Union. In the next adventures he went to Congo ( This was at that time a part of Belgium ), and to America.

Tintin sat never still, this can we see in his next adventures. In chronological order he comes in Arabia, Central-America, South-America And another time in South-America, in China, in Tibet and even twice on the moon, look at Destination moon and Explorers on the moon.

As often Tintin travles, so less he is typing on his typewriter. Sometimes he runs with a camera but never we read an spectacular article or interview.

Tintin as a reporter seems like a fake, but a good fake. This because nowadays millions of people are still crazy about Tintin, just like me.

Dulu waktu pertama kali herge menerbitkan cerita tintin... halaman buku tintin variatif... kadang sampai 100 halaman lebih... dan masalah muncul ketika negara belgia tempat kelahiran herge dijajah oleh jerman, banyak sekali bahan percetakan, termasuk kertas serba terbatas krn utk keperluan perang, dan masalah juga muncul ketika komik strip tintin akan dicetak dan dijadikan album.... and this is the true story goes....


TINTIN WITH 62 PAGES

If, nowadays, we discover the adventures of Tintin as 62 pages books in color, we should not forget that the first eight adventures of our hero - in addition to the Soviets - were initially created in black and white. To read them is to discover a whole part of Tintin's history and Hergé's work which is too often ignored...


Some history...

Tintin's first two adventures - Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and Tintin in the Congo - were initially published by the rather short-lived Éditions du Petit Vingtième, in a rather limited edition, since Hergé believed that Tintin's success was only a temporary phenomenon. As the sales increased, the publication was entrusted to the Éditions Casterman in 1931. During all the inter-war period, the Tournai-based company continued to publish the book in black and white, in a size slightly larger than the current books.

At that time, the books' length was very variable, from 130 pages for the Soviets to 104 for the Crab, since Hergé did not have any constraint as for the number of pages. He had not yet fully developed his narrative technique and decided what would happen to Tintin from week to week, just listening to his imagination, with no other principal concern than creating a suspense at the end of each two pages episode. This is why we can find some interludes or developments more or less necessary, which gives to the first versions a sometimes disjointed style. However, when came The Blue Lotus, Hergé, conscious of the growing importance that took his creation, started to give more importance to the development of its stories, giving them a denser and more coherent structure - the constant reduction in the number of pages illustrates it well -, while developing and a concern for thorough realism.

As Tintin evolved, the conditions of publication changed too. Soon, it became clear that the hero could not remain a long time in black and white. Since 1936, the need for leaving the black and white format for commercial reasons had been foreseen, and Hergé had proposed to insert color plates in the books. During World War II, the paper price increased by more than 50%, and the difficulties in provisioning as well as the acquisition of an offset press led Casterman to make new proposals to Hergé. The books should from now on fall within a rigid framework of 62 pages. On the other hand, they would be printed in quadrichromy. The deal was concluded in 1942. While The Shooting Star became Tintin's first adventure published in color, Hergé tackled the hard work of redrawing the books of pre-war period, first with the help of Edgar P. Jacobs, then of what was going to become gradually the team of the Hergé Studios.


Transformations

The interesting aspects in the black and white editions are multiple since, in most cases, the stories underwent several transformations. During the redrawing, Hergé faced several difficulties. Most difficult was undoubtedly the new page setting. In a very general way, he reduced the format of the frames and added a strip, roughly cutting the number of pages by half. Nevertheless, he had to delete or shorten some superfluous sequences, what enabled him at the same time to give more density to its stories. Thus a scene opposing Tintin to snakes in the traffickers' den in Cigars of the Pharaoh, a fight with a gangster at the end of The Blue Lotus and an arumbaya nightmare at the beginning of The Broken Ear disappear, inter alia. On the opposite, Hergé found that The Crab with the Golden Claws' story was too short, so he had to keep the old inset plates of the black and white edition, what explains the presence of the single giant frames in this book.

Hergé also proceeded to several technical improvements, erasing here and there awkwardnesses which had slipped into the stories : an answer which one could read before the question; rises which, in the direction of the reading, seemed to descend etc. All that undermined legibility - which had then become a great priority for Hergé - was worked on again. In the same way, to improve realism, several details were corrected. With the assistance of E. P. Jacobs, the syldavian costumes were entirely "balkanized". Finally, some more or less awkward dialogues were purified. Whereas the drawing became more and more complex, the texts became simpler.

Finally, Hergé modified the historical and political dimensions of the first adventures. Any marked allusion to Belgium, any element too dated was removed. This cleaning was accompanied by a softening of the vocabulary and a greater tolerance. In this manner, the books were purified of what connected them too much to the context of their birth. By adapting them to the more recent books, Hergé ensured the coherence of its universe.


Undeniable qualities

If the books in black and white have neither the technical quality nor the extraordinary coherence of the later editions, they are not for all that unimportant works. On the contrary, Hergé develops in them a complete graphic technique which one cannot compare with that of the new editions. Just like the cinema in black and white has its own esthetics, the books in black and white have a style of their own which gives them all their charm.

The medium has certain constraints, so Hergé tries not so much to show the things with realism than to suggest them. The drawing is extremely purified and simplified, the accessory is left to show only the essence. It is without any doubt in The Blue Lotus that this art is most developed, mainly thanks to the influence of Chang. Nothing comes to distract the reader. The sceneries are surprisingly simple, and yet everything suggests China. In the scene of Tintin's nightly boarding, only the junk's silhouette appears to suggest its presence, but with what a force! This simplicity, this accuracy and this elegance of the stroke give an very different dimension to the adventures of our hero...

A forgotten adventure...

In addition to the editions mentioned previously, another adventure was initially created in black and white, without however being published in book in this form. Land of Black Gold was supposed to follow King Ottokar's Sceptre. However, its publication in the pages of Petit Vingtième was stopped in May 1940 by the invasion of Belgium by the German troops. Since the story was too politicized, Hergé had to give up it. After the war, he took it again from the beginning, in color. The 56 pages of pre-war period were never published. Here is one of them...

Facsimiles of the Soviets and the eight editions in black and white are available and published by Casterman. There is also a "Tintin en noir et blanc" box containing the nine books in miniature format. Interesting isn’t it?

Kalau diliat2, sebenernya masalah2 di Tintin itu rada2 berat juga ya. Kayak Tongkat Raja Ottokar, yang katanya nyindir2 politik di Eropa pada jaman itu.

ini behind the album Tintin tongkat raja ottokar

King Ottokar's Sceptre
Year: 1938
Important Characters: Tintin, Snowy, Madame Castafiore, Colonel Jorgens

French Title: Le Sceptre d'Ottokar.

One of the beauties of many of Tintin's adventures is how innocently it begins. The hero does something which appears harmless, and he is gradually led into a complex web of intrigue and suspense. Before long, he is in the throws of a full-scale adventure. In King Ottokar's Sceptre, the harmless act is the picking up of a briefcase. Snowy, to his credit, warns Tintin not to meddle in the affairs of others.

The dates of the story are significant. It appeared in Le Petit Vingtième from 4 August 1938 to 10 August 1939. Only a few months before Hergé began drawing the adventure, Austria was seriously threatened by Germany. The Austrian Chancellor stepped down under pressure from the Nazis and, on the night of March 11-12 1938, German troops invaded Austria and on March 13 Hitler declared its annexation. The Anschluss was now complete and Austria was a state of The Third Reich.

Hence, the story of King Ottokar's Sceptre is nothing more than that of a failed Anschluss. Borduria tries to annex Syldavia with the help of Musstler (a cross between Mussolini and Hitler?), whose methods largely recall those of the German Chancellor. Many references allow the Bordurians to be identified with the Nazis. Their names, uniforms, aircraft, as well as a military takeover involving a fifth column infiltrated into Syldavia under the cover of a political party, the "Iron Guard". Syldavia seems to be as badly equipped for a military takeover attempt as many of the European nations of the time.

As well as militarism and politics, other elements of the book are very memorable. In this adventure we see the debut of the unforgettable Diva, Bianca Castafiore. Immediately after she offers Tintin a lift, she gives a rendition of the aria that made her famous, the jewel song from Faust. Another aspect worth mentioning is the technique Hergé uses to introduce his readers to his new invention, Syldavia: the placing of a tourist brochure at the heart of the story. This brochure is by no means inconsequential, either, as many of the political and geographical facts it contains become crucial later in the story.




Terus kayak Lotus Biru juga kasusnya gitu. tapi dulu karena pas baca masih kecil, mana tau kita ;D. Gw jadi pengen nih ngumpulin Tintin lagi.


tuh kilas balik sejarah pembuatan album lotus biru.

The Blue Lotus
Year: 1933
Important Characters: Tintin, Snowy, The Thompsons, Chang, Rastapopoulos, Dawson

French Title: Le Lotus Bleu

The Blue Lotus marked a turning point in Hergé's portrayal of Tintin's adventures. In the previous books, his descriptions of the countries Tintin visited was assembled from common clichés. Now he was to seriously worry about the accuracy of his portrayals. Behind this transformation was one of the most significant meetings Hergé ever had.

The previous adventure had been left open for Hergé to send Tintin to the Far East to continue his investigations. He was warned by the chaplain to the Chinese students at the University of Louvain to be careful with his portrayal of China, and to do some research. The chaplain put him in touch with a young Chinese student, Chang Chong-Chen. The two had lengthy discussions about many subjects, and Chang taught Hergé much about the history and culture of his nation. Hergé later admitted that this was an education for him: "For me up to then, China was peopled by a vague, slit-eyed people who were very cruel, who would eat swallows' nests, wear pig-tails and throw children into rivers."

Never again was Hergé to rely on the writings of others when devising Tintin's adventures. He was so influenced by his meetings with Chang that he named a character in the adventure after him. Chang is the one real friend Tintin meets and there is one memorable section where Tintin details Hergé's changing opinions on the Chinese.

Hergé's new found attention to detail made this adventure by far the most politically involved of all the Tintin adventures. The Sino-Japanese War was then raging, and Hergé portrays the situation with such accuracy that one could treat The Blue Lotus as a history textbook. The section where Chinese bandits are blamed for an attack deliberately perpetrated by the Japanese is a transposition of the incident on the Moukden railway which gave Japanese troops an excuse to invade Chinese territory.

Hergé took a deliberately pro-Chinese stance in the book. He denounced the role of the Western powers in the conflict. The book is illustrated with Chinese ideograms, drawn by the real Chang, encouraging the boycott of Japanese goods and attacking imperialism. This courage was far from popular. The book brought protests from Japanese delegates in Brussels and there was much opposition to its publication.

thanks atas bantuan infonya...

setelah tau siapa tintin, sekarang udah seharusnya kita tahu siapa sih "BABE-NYA TINTIN" alias si Hergé (George Remi):



Hergé (Georges Remi)

(1907-1983, Belgium)

Hergé - a pseudonym switching Georges Remi's initials into RG - is the creator of Tintin, and this famous Belgian artist is often considered to be the most influential European comic artist ever. His 'clear line' style is copied by many, many artists. At a young age, Georges Remi, like so many other catholic boys, joins the boy scouts - an experience which greatly influences his personality. In fact, the character Tintin is often compared with a boy scout.

Hergé starts his artistic career in a scouting magazine, 'Le Boy-Scout Belge,' with the character Totor, a predecessor of Tintin. Very soon after this debut, the priest Abbé Wallez, the editor-in-chief of the right-wing newspaper, Le Vingtième Siècle, asks Hergé to work for the youth supplement of the paper, Le Petit Vingtième. On January 10, 1929, the first episode of 'Tintin au pays des Soviets' [Tintin in the Soviet Union] is thus printed in the paper. Soon this pioneering European adventure series is a major hit, with a huge crowd welcoming a real life Tintin actor when he "returns to Brussels" after his adventures in the east.

Though Hergé created other characters, like Quick et Flupke and Jo, Zette et Jocko, his name will always be wedded to Tintin. With the Second World War a darker chapter begins for Hergé, for he is one of the artists to continue working for the national press under German supervision. It is said that a lot of people kept buying the collaborating Le Vingtième Siècle just to keep up with the continuing Tintin series. Though it is not completely clear whether Hergé was actually 'wrong' during the war, it is certain that he was a persona non grata for a long time in Belgium. Another clue for the political incorrectness of Hergé are his first Tintin-stories, which contain a fair share of nasty racist stereotypes. Soon after the war Hergé, in collaboration with Raymond Leblanc, starts the Tintin magazine, which in no time grows to immense popularity.

In 1950 Hergé starts his own studio because - although he is a workaholic if there ever was one - he cannot get the work done alone anymore. Especially the work on the Tintin reprints - which are being redrawn and coloured - is too much of a burden by then. Important members of the studio Hergé are Bob de Moor, Jacques Martin, Roger Leloup and Edgar P. Jacobs. They learn their craft at the studio and later they all start some comics series of their own.

In time, Hergé starts to suffer ever more serious personal depressions and gradually the time increases before each new Tintin book. While the books 'Tintin au Tibet' [Tintin in Tibet, 1959] and 'Le Bijoux de la Castafiore' [The Jewelry of La Castafiore, 1962] are regarded as his best works, the last completed book, 'Tintin et les Picaros' [Tintin and the Picaros, 1974], is generally held to be Hergé's worst effort and a genuine miss. The fact that Tintin wears jeans in this story is one of the reasons a lot of fans were disappointed.

Hergé's death in 1983 makes headlines all over the world. His work-in-progress "Tintin et l'Alph-art" [Tintin and the Alph-art] is then published posthumously, uncompleted and in sketched-out form. Those willing to delve deeper into the life and works of one of the most popular artists of the twentieth century, are highly recommended to check out Benoît Peeters "Le monde d'Hergé" [The World of Hergé], an excellent effort to put Hergé and his work in context. Last year, the trio of Stanislas, Fromental and Bocquet added an excellent Hergé comics biography to the must-have list for all Tintin fans.

Tintin phenomenon has proven to be exceptional, from the strict point of view of numbers (more than 200 million books were sold in 1996, translated into some 50 languages) to that of longevity (more than 67 years in existence), from audience diversity (including children not yet able to read as well as philosophers like Michel Serres), to the stimulation of criticism (there are more books about Tintin and his creator than there are books in the comic book series itself). Hergé himself admitted being astounded by the breadth and persistence of this triumph.

Of course, many explanations for it may be proposed: the strength of Hergé's imagination, his narrative rigour, the luminous simplicity of his drawings, the funniness of his dialogues, as well as the mythical grounding of his stories and the openness to the other which they reveal. Beyond these circumstantial explanations, the mystery remains almost unscratched, and fascination with it never fails. It has already been eighteen years since Hergé left us.

But Tintin is more alive today than ever.

ada yg tau kalo di album tintin hiu-hiu laut merah, Lokasi yg bernama PETRA yg bisa disebut juga dgn PETRUS yg artinya adalah BATU KARANG didatangin ama tintin tuh sama dgn PETRA yg didatangin oleh indiana jones di filmnya yg The Last Crusade ?



coba deh kita liat dikit sejarah tempat tersebut:


PETRA “THE HIDDEN CITY”

In The Red Sea Sharks, Tintin and the Captain visit Petra.

The scene eerily predates a shot in the film "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,". Indy and his father find the Holy Grail in a temple (not named in the film) carved into a cliff.

History:
The queen of the caravan cities, the legendary Petra at the edge of the Arabian Desert was the glittering capital of the Nabataean King Aretas IV (9 B.C. to 40 A.D.). Masters of water technology, the Nabataeans provided their city with great tunnel constructions and water chambers. An amphitheatre, built after Greek-Roman prototypes, offered space for an audience of no fewer than 4,000 persons. Still today, the Palace Tombs of Petra, with the 42-metre-high Hellenistic temple façade on the El-Deir Monastery, belong to the most impressive achievements of Middle Eastern culture.

nih infonya::D :D :D


The Seven Crystal Balls
Year: 1943, continued 1946
Important Characters: Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus

French Title: Les Sept Boules de Cristal

The first instalment of Tintin and Captain Haddock's expedition to the Temple of the Sun is drowned in an atmosphere of fear. Returning to the curse theme which he had already dealt with in Cigars of the Pharoah and developing the mood from The Shooting Star, Hergé's magnetic tale went further than any other in the direction of the supernatural. Signs and indications lead to a series of strange attacks which lead to a climax in the sequence at Professor Tarragon's villa.

Behind the choice of the villa in question lies a curious story. Hergé, now attaching great importance to the decoration and surroundings in his adventures, went with Edgar Pierre Jacobs to the theatre to make sketches for the music hall sequence early in the story, and he was as precise with Professor Tarragon's villa where the key scene of the book was to unfold. As Hergé described:

"Jacobs found a suitable villa, not very far from me and also in Boitsfort. So we stationed ourselves outside the house and went on sketching without worrying about anything; it would be easy, we thought, to provide a plausible explanation to a passer-by....When our work was completed, we quietly set off. At that moment two grey cars suddenly appeared packed with German soldiers and came to a halt in front of the villa - it had been requisitioned and occupied by the SS! If they had surprised us a few minutes earlier while we were sketching, we would certainly have been closely questioned."

It was not to be the Germans who asked the questions a few months after the liberation. From September 1944, all journalists who worked for a newspaper that collaborated during the occupation were temporarily banned from having their work published. Hergé was affected by this order as he had been working for Le Soir since 1940.


serem juga yach... kalo ampe bener2 ketangkap ama pasukan Nazi SS bisa mampus deh herge....;p

Tintin

Tintin (French, Basque, Catalan, Spanish, Danish, Indonesian, Italian, Malay, Norwegian, Swedish), Kuifje (Dutch), Kuifie (Afrikaans), Tim (German), Tin Tin (Arabic), Tintti (Finnish), Ten-Ten (Greek), Tainetaine (Iranian), Tinni (Icelandic), Tan Tan (Japanese), Tintim (Portugese)

Debut: Tintin in the Land of the Soviets

Tintin is without a doubt the strangest character in the history of the strip cartoon. Unlike the majority of cartoon heroes, he has no particularly remarkable characteristics. True, he is intelligent, astute, quick-witted and almost invincible, but when we examine him more closely, it is his unreality which is most startling.

Take his name for a start. In neither French nor English does it mean anything. Is it a first name or a surname? Next look at his round face with only little dots for eyes and mouth and a small button of a nose. The only distinctive feature is the celebrated quiff. Then there is his profession, one which except in the very first book we never see him exercise. Tintin is not a typical reporter. He has no real age; sometimes he seems to be a child, at other times an adolescent, but generally he behaves like an adult. His sexlessness is also noteworthy. At no time does he have a girlfriend, or do marriage plans interfere with his adventures.

Strictly speaking, he is characterless. This could be seen as a weakness, but that would be a basic misunderstanding of the great coherence of Hergé's world. In fact, it is the neutrality of the hero which is a key element in the success of the books. It is his lack of personality which allows him to change from having been a colonialist in 1930 to taking sides with guerillas in 1976 without any feeling of contradiction. As a neutral character he fulfils marvellously the essential role of a hero of a cartoon series, allowing readers scope for identification. This enables anyone, boy or girl, young or old, French or Japanese, the chance to live the extraordinary adventures of Hergé's books.

And around his neutral hero, Hergé could over the years add a whole collection of richly coloured, often type cast, characters. In this way the series of adventures could be enriched, gaining variety and intensity while, thanks to Tintin, retaining that immediacy which makes them so very readable.

Tintin is the main character of this saga. He is always referred to as Tintin, which seems to be a family name, and no first name is mentioned. Apparently, Tintin has no family and his age is rather difficult to determine. He is not a teenager, but he is not an adult, either. Even though he introduces himself as a reporter, the only time we ever see him write an article is in Tintin in the Land of the Soviets).

Morally, Tintin fights against all that is evil. He defends the weak, and readily forgives and risks his own life to save others. He was nicknamed "Pure Heart" in Tibet. He shows a great sense of loyalty towards his friends and he cannot be bought. Moreover, Tintin is not the type of person who would let himself get carried away with his emotions. He would rather analyze a situation before taking action.

Tintin is very intelligent and creative. He seems to have a certain ease with foreign languages and he reads a lot. Does he have an answer for everything? He is an extraordinarily cunning master of deduction. Tintin is comfortable in any disguise and he is very convincing in his disguises. Moreover, he knows how to drive cars, mopeds, locomotives and tanks in addition to riding horses, steering boats or flying airplanes. Although his physique is not impressive, he shows great physical strength. In hand-to-hand combat, he always comes out on top. He knows French kick-boxing, is a very good swimmer and shooter, does gymnastics, and later, yoga.



Snowy

Snowy (Indonesian), Milou (French, Arabic, Finnish, Greek, Iranian, Swedish), Bobbie (Dutch), Spokie (Afrikaans), Struppi (German), Milu (Basque, Catalan, Spanish, Italian, Portugese), Terry (Danish, Norwegian), Tobbi (Icelandic), Milo (Japanese), Snowi (Malay)

Debut: Tintin in the Land of the Soviets

Snowy is so strongly associated with Tintin that for many years the series of exploits of the intrepid reporter were entitled The Adventures of Tintin and Snowy.

The role of the little white fox terrier is especially central to the early books, when Snowy is still the sole companion of the cartoon hero. The dog engages in a real conversation with his master, playing the part of confidant and sometimes contradicting him. The deep attachment between Snowy and Tintin exists despite certain marked differences in character and an inclination to be independent. Snowy is much more down to earth than his master; unlike Tintin, he does not have an unbendable sense of duty. His taste for adventure is also more muted: he yearns for peace and quiet and is suspicious of Tintin's ideas. Occasionally timorous, Snowy makes up for this quickly with amazing feats of ingenuity and courage to pull Tintin out of the tightest corners. One loses count of the number of times the terrier saves his master.

However, Snowy's canine greed does on one occasion cause him to hesitate between a juicy bone lying on the road and the saving of King Ottokar's Sceptre. Moreover, the fox terrier's weakness for whisky causes problems: the moment the Loch Lomond blend starts flowing, from leaking barrels or bottles, nothing else seems to count for Snowy. In fact, with these characteristics, Snowy strongly resembles Captain Haddock, whom he anticipates in many respects. The fox terrier and the Captain are characters of the same type: each balances Tintin perfectly whenever he is too good and righteous. And it is precisely the many points that they have in common which explains the relative decline in Snowy's importance following the arrival of the Captain. Haddock plays a similar role to the fox terrier but with much greater force and verve, providing a counterpoint to any haughtiness on Tintin's part.

It is therefore only in the early books - during this heroic period which preceded the Captain - that Snowy is really given full scope. Not that he was later forsaken, but he was to some extent eclipsed by the highly colourful newcomer. When Snowy is reduced to chasing an anonymous cat down the stairs of Marlinspike Hall, one thinks that he must really feel some nostalgia for the good old days.

From the very beginning, Snowy has been Tintin's inseparable companion, following him everywhere. Although he is a dog, Snowy shows surprisingly human characteristics. He is somewhat arrogant, touchy, superstitious and very sensitive. In the course of the adventures, he becomes more and more of a homebody. Moreover, Snowy is very cultivated and always has a reply for his master. Despite this, he is still a dog. He has a great sense of smell and good intuition. He often foresees dangerous situations in which his master might get stuck. Fortunately, he is always there to come to his rescue...

Like all dogs, Snowy likes bones. Unfortunately, he takes this affinity to extremes, which usually imposes on him difficult choices in certain situations … He is equally fond of all kinds of meats and delicatessen, especially chicken. His other vice is his taste for -- alcohol! He especially likes "Loch Lomond" whiskey. He doesn't mind rum and champagne, either.

Snowy has limited contact with men other that Tintin. When he does have contact it is usually rough; several times Tintin's enemies have tried to kill Snowy. He gets along much better with kids. His relationships with other animals are also very touchy. Boas, buffaloes, condors, crabs, crocodiles, porcupines, cows, parrots and other ferocious beasts have attacked him. Snowy seems isolated from his fellow creatures. He also exhibits arachnophobia... At Marlinspike, however, his relationship with a cat starts off very tense, but gradually they become best friends.

Captain Haddock

Sardijn (Afrikaans), Xantok (Greek), Hadok (Iranian, Japanese), Kolbeinn (Icelandic), Haddock (All other published languages)


Debut: The Crab with the Golden Claws

It is only with The Shooting Star that Haddock becomes one of the real characters of The Adventures of Tintin. In The Crab with the Golden Claws, his role was secondary and there was no guarantee that he would return.

Once installed in the series, however, Haddock was to occupy a prominent position, almost eclipsing Tintin himself. He is probably the most astonishing hero in the history of strip cartoon. Haddock, whom Hergé sometimes said was inspired by Edgar Pierre Jacobs (even though he was created before the two men knew each other), is a wonderfully rich character. Jolly and gruff at the same time, powerful and full of life, an enthusiastic swearer, the Captain is unforgettable. But it would be a mistake to think that such an ebuillent character has a great thirst for adventure and travel. For Haddock has, especially after his installation at Marlinspike Hall, a constantly-thwarted ambition to be but a gentleman-farmer. A whisky and a good pipe in front of a cosy fire, after an invigorating walk in the countryside, seem to be all he desires of life.

The Captain's taste for liquor is legendary. But two periods need to be distinguished: the time before he meets Tintin, when he is a piteous drunk, a wreck who is bullied by his first mate, and after his providential meeting with the young reporter, when things change fundamentally, even if he is not quite equal to his elevated position as Honorary President of the Society of Sober Sailors, and his partiality for drink is no more than a pleasant penchant. Graphically, Haddock is a more complex character than Tintin. His feelings are immediately visible on his face. He is endowed with a constantly changing appearance and his rich repertoire as a mimic makes many sequences memorable.

But it is above all his language which has made Haddock famous and especially the unforgettable expletives that he fires in broadsides at every suitable opportunity. Pol Vandromme, in his book Le Monde de Tintin counted 169 altogether. Numa Sadoul has found another 48. The hot-headed Captain has therefore a repertoire of over 200 unusual insults.

A rather mature captain, Archibald Haddock first appears in The Crab with the Golden Claws. We know that he sailed for over twenty years with his friend, Captain Chester, before ending up aboard the Karaboudjian where his alcoholism puts him at the mercy of his lieutenant, Allen. It is Tintin who gets him out of it; the two friends would never leave each other again. As for his family, we know that he is the descendant of the knight François de Hadoque, a navy captain under Louis XIV.

Haddock has a very expressive character. He is very impulsive and gets carried away by his enthusiasm... or his discouragement. He is very quick-tempered, but his tantrums are as short as they are spectacular. Despite his surly character, he is a very sensitive man. He feels a strong sense of friendship towards Tintin, for whom he would not hesitate to give his life, and he is also very attached to Professor Calculus.
Haddock's big vice is indeed his alcoholism. In the very beginning, he is but a human rag. Upon meeting Tintin, his problem diminishes to become more of a tendency... He is quite fond of whisky, especially "Lock Lomond". Haddock also uses tobacco quite a bit and we often see him with a pipe in his mouth. He dresses in a sailor outfit most of the time, with black pants, a blue sweater with an anchor on it and his sailor hat.

Although he does not seem very cultivated, Haddock has a good knowledge of music. He possesses a veritable encyclopedia of insults, swearwords and curses drawn from all walks of life that is truly impressive. This, indeed, sets him apart. There are more than 200 of these colorful insults and put-downs, including:

Abecedarians, abominable snowmen, aborigine, anachronisms, anacoluthons, anamorphic aardvark, anthracite, anthropophagus, anthropithecus, arabian nightmare, artichokes, autocrats, aztecs, baboon, bagpipers, Balkan beetle, bandit, bashi-bazouks, beasts, belemnite, big-head, blackamoor, black-beetles, blackbird, blackguards, black marketeers, bloodsuckers, body-snatcher, bootlegger, bougainvillea, breathalyser, brigand, brontosaurus, brutes, buccaneer, bully, cannibal, carpet-sellers, caterpillars, centipede, cercopithecus, coconuts, coelacanth, corsair, cowards, crab-apples, Cro-Magnon, crooks, cyclone, cyclotron, diplodocus, dipsomaniac, dizzards, dogs, doryphores, duck-billed platypus, dunder-headed ethelreds, dynamiter, ectoplasm, ectoplasmic byproduct, egoists, fancy-dress fatima, fancy-dress freebooters, fat faces, filibusters, flaming Jack-in-a-box, freshwater swabs, fuzzy-wuzzy, gallows-fodder, gang of thieves, gangsters, gibbering ghost, gobbledygooks, gogglers, goosecaps, guano gatherer, gyroscope, harlequin, heretic, highwayman, hi-jackers, hooligans, hydrocarbon, iconoclast, interplanetary goat, invertebrate, Jack pudding, jellied-eel, jelly-fish, jobbernowl, kleptomaniacs, Ku-Klux-Klan, lily-livered bandicoots, liquorice, logarithm, macrocephalic baboon, mameluke, megacycle, megalomaniac, miserable earthworms, misguided missile, monopolizers, moth-eaten marmot, moujiks, mountebanks, nincompoop, nitwits, nyctalops, odd-toed ungulate, olympic athlete, ophicleides, orangoutang, Ostrogoth, pachyrhizus, paranoiac, parasites, Patagonians, phylloxera, picaroons, pickled herrings, pirates, pithecanthropuses, pockmarks, politician, poltroons, polygraphs, Polynesian, prattling porpoise, profiteers, prize purple jelly-fishes, psychopath, pyrographers, pyromaniac, rats, rhizopods, road-hogs, ruffian, savages, scoffing braggart, sea-gherkins, sea-lice, shipwreckers, slave-trader, slubberdegullions, squawking popinjay, steamrollers, swine, sycophant, technocrat , terrapins, toads, toffee-noses, torturers, traitors, tramps, Troglodytes, turncoats, twister, two-timing Tartar twisters, vagabonds, vampires, vandal, vegetarian, vermicellis, villain, visigoths, vivisectionists, vulture, whipper-Snapper, woodlice, wreckers, zapotecs.

Thomson and Thompson

Thomson, Thompson (Indonesian, Malay), Dupont, Dupond (French, Catalan, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Portugese, Swedish), Dupond, Dupont (Italian), Jansen, Janssen (Dutch), Uys, Buys (Afrikaans), Schultze, Schulze (German), Tik-Tak (Arabic), Hernandez, Fernandez (Basque, Spanish), O Ntupon, O Ntupont (Greek), Douponte, Doupon(t)e (Iranian), Skapti, Skafti (Icelandic), Tomson-Tompson (Japanese)

Debut: Cigars of the Pharoah

First appearing in 1934 in the black and white version of Cigars of the Pharoah, (but already given an anonymous walk-on part in the opening frame of the colour version of Tintin in the Congo), the Thomson twins have a curious relationship with the other characters of the series. Although not really belonging to the family, they assiduously follow it. Always ready to arrest Tintin, they yet never hesitate to call him "old boy".

Identical in every way, the two can only be determined by the style of their moustaches. Thomson's is more rounded and Thompson's more pointed. Otherwise, each one is a perfect idiot, as Pol Vandromme demonstrates in his book Le Monde de Tintin.

"They are in mourning for the passing of intelligence. They have the expressions and moustaches of morons, bowler hats which had gone out of fashion years ago, the arched eyebrows of the inquisitor in desperate straits, suits smeared and sticky with black ink, ridiculous noses, dismal faces, boots with nails and soles of lead. Looked at from the front, back or in profile, from any angle they are always prime idiots."

The fact that they are inseperable underlines their ineptitude. For if the imbecile does nothing but repeat himself, then to repeat an imbecility is the ultimate confirmation of idiocy. The doubling up - reflected already in their comic appearance - is emphasised even further by their constant repeating of what the other one says: "To be precise....". Their language is made up of a series of variations on a limited number of clichés which they use at any opportunity, generally the least appropriate. Inverted and confused, the clichés used by the two detectives never succeed in imitating correctly the pompous style of the prize-giving speech which is clearly their idea of eloquence.

The behaviour of the Thomsons is also true to stereotype, and especially their way of dressing. In each of the places to which their work takes them, the two detectives dress in their conception of local costume in order to pass unnoticed. This inflexible idea of what is typical or traditional has exactly the opposite results to those intended. The disguises, which are meant to make them blend in discreetly with the local populace, enable them to be spotted a mile off.

And finally the detectives serve as the useful scapegoats of the Tintin adventures. All nonsense can be attributed to them, to the clear benefit of the other characters.
Although they are practically identical, these two detectives are not twins, as is revealed by the spelling of their last names. In fact, the only way to distinguish them is by their moustache. Thomson's moustache turns up while Thompson's is straight... Members of the New Scotland Yard, then of the judicial police, Thomson and Thompson lead more or less discrete and efficient investigations...

Thomson and Thompson are hardly brilliant. They test the limits of discretion, dressing up in folkloric costumes in order to "blend in," which they obviously never do. They also pile up an incredible number of falls, slips and accidents. The epitome of stupidity, they would follow their own footprints in the desert ... Their total disorganization is also reflected in their language. They are experts in pleonasms and have to their credit sayings such as "I would say even more," "our lips are sealed," and the tasty "it is my opinion and I share it."

omong2 tentang calculus, ini salah satu sahabat terbaik tintin.....
mau tau... coba deh baca artikelnya utk bisa mengenal calculus lebih baik.....


Cuthbert Calculus

(Tryphon) Tournesol (French, Danish, Greek, Norwegian), Trifonius Zonnenbloem (Dutch), Tertius Phosfatus (Afrikaans), Balduin Bienlein (German), Bergel (Arabic), Silbestre Tornasol (Basque), Silvestre Tornassol (Catalan), Silvestre Tornasol (Spanish), Teofilus Tuhatkauno (Finnish), (Cuthbert) Calculus (Indonesian, Malay), Vandratur (Icelandic), Trifone Girasol (Italian), Trifolic Girassol (Portugese), Kalkyl (Swedish)

Debut: Red Rackham's Treasure

Hergé had long been interested in absent-minded professors. Hector Alembick in King Ottokar's Sceptre is the best example, but already in The Broken Ear there is a passage which anticipates Calculus when another professor apologises to the escaped parrot perched on the lamp-post for mistaking it for a bird. Like many elements in Hergé's books, Cuthbert Calculus was modelled on a real person, as the author himself relates:
"Physically, Calculus and his submarine were above all based on Professor August Piccard and his bathyscaph. But a scaled down Piccard, as he was much too tall. He had an unending neck that emerged from a collar that was too big. I would occasionally bump into him in the street and he struck me as being the incarnation of the typical scientist. I made Calculus a mini-Piccard, as otherwise I would have had to enlarge the frames enclosing the drawings." (Fron Numa Sadoul's Interviews with Hergé)

Even the Professor's christian name in French, Tryphon, was taken from a carpenter Hergé knew. His French surname, Tournesol, means sunflower. The combination of the two names sums up the Professor's character, as does the English rendering, Cuthbert Calculus. Both his appearance and his manner are an anachronism, and there is a subtle contrast between his behaviour, which is that of at least a century earlier, and his highly advanced inventions. For a while, Calculus himself does not change, but his scientific career progresses by leaps and bounds. As Michel Serres has written:

"From being a small-time inventor, he becomes a nuclear physicist. From his garret with his patented fold-up beds and clothes-brushing machines, he moves to the nuclear laboratory."

Calculus is intrigued by everything, from botany to physics, from electronics to dowsing, and Hergé even seems to have given him some of his own interest in the occult and parapsychology. The Professor's latest inventions, however disconcerting they may seem at first, often are the starting point of an adventure, whether Calculus is working on the conquest of space and sets out with Tintin and the others on the Moon expedition, or whether he develops plans for a secret weapon which Tintin and Haddock have to wrest from a military dictatorship.

As well as being the scientist in the adventures, Calculus is also a rather poetic figure. A dreamer and secretly sentimental, the Professor brings an element of freshness and fantasy to the series.

Professor Calculus first appears in Red Rackham's Treasure as an absent-minded and hard-of-hearing scientist. The first thing we notice about him is his deafness. Most of the time, he only understands the ends of sentences, which leads to some misunderstandings... He tends to deny this problem and is rather sensitive about it. However, his relationships with the female characters are quite surprising. He finds charm in all of them, particularly Peggy Alcazar, who is not exactly a sex symbol... He is somewhat unpredictable, and despite his mellow appearance can get extremely angry. Nevertheless, he rarely shows his feelings and we know little about him. He is usually very modest and reserved and barely ever intervenes. Instead, he is a victim of circumstances...

Eccentric at first, he turns out to be a well-rounded scientist with an interest in mechanics, physics, chemistry, electronics and horticulture. Strangely, he is also interested in dowsing and is never without his pendulum. We learn later that he has practiced many sports, including tennis and French kick-boxing.

Tau gak kenapa Kapten Haddock gak mabok? Soalnya lidahnya udah kena Sani-Cola, di bandara Cengkareng!

Bukannya kemayoran? soalnya tahun segitu sih Cengkareng belum ada, Halim pun kalo ngga salah emang ditujukan buat pangkalan militer, yang bandara komersial ya Kemayoran.. Lagian kan ada tulisannya, si Calculus nunjuk-nunjuk sambil marah-marah karena salah denger, dikiranya mereka sampe di tempat lain.. Tulisannya kalo ga salah 'Kemayoran (Jakarta) International Airport'
