A big hello to everyone from the lovely people at GoogleMapMania (the best place on the net for Google Maps).

Have fun exploring the Tintin Map and don’t forget that you can register and add your Tintin related locations.

For the last week or two I’ve been fighting Google and Javascript to add a new feature here to Tintin Movie.

Ever wondered all the places Tintin went to? Or wondered where Herge based Syldavia on? Well find out now on the Tintin Map.

Its not quite finished and I’ve only added a few books so far but the world is starting to fill up.

• Great interactive analysis of the page composition in Tintin in Tibet. Link
• The Age has a piece on the Uncanny Valley and how it might effect the Tintin Movie. Link
• The International Motor Show of Barcelona has a ‘Tintin and his Cars’ exhibition. For more on Tintin and cars, have look at this fantastic fan site. Link
• Australian cartoonist has the legal right to use Tintin in satirical cartoon. Link
• Tintin in Cuba? Link
• On Flickr, the portrayal of the Chinese is examined. Link and link.

BBC News story from 2001. PDF versions available from this Thailand relate page.

I’m guessing this means Tintin and the Beast from the Lake or something similar.

Its all in French so I’ve no idea what it says but appears to be a mashup of several works.

Does what is says on the side of the tin: Tintin Tribute Comics.
