For those of you who are wondering, that's a pretty good likeness of Snowy from Tintin.

[Not*Sure*]

It is snowy wonder if he gets a fee for posing!

[rjpb]

To be fair he hasn't gotten any new work in about 30 years.

Heh. There's one of those boxes in the park a few blocks from us, and Snowy (Milou) was my first thought when I saw it too.

too bad nobody uses it

I think that is Snowy's brother Stinky.

Times are tough and it's hard for a GA dog to make in a modern/currents kind of world...

[sakaridis]

Wow! I had no idea that Milou's name was changed to Snowy in the American editions. You learn something new everyday...

I have a feeling that Editions Casterman will have something to say about that image if they get wind of it....

[Senormac]

I didn't know his name was changed to Snowy either. Thats cool but now I wonder about all the characters. Tin Tin is still Tin Tin but how bout Captain Haddock? Or the Thompsons? Or....

 

Does Casterman own the rights to Tin Tin now?

My sister has a whole slew of Tin Tin comics in French. (She speaks French, and uses the books as practice.)
