Oddly, it is not the only picture of Tintin with a cat o’ nine tails.

    I’ve seen this somewhere before, perhaps in the Tintin Complete Companion by Michael Farr. I think it was drawn by Herge himself.

    I looks like a self portrait but I’ve not seen it before.

    It is quite a revealing picture given the psychological problems Herge faced in the later part of his life and the pressure Tintin’s fame brought him.
