Tintin is neither a surname nor a first name, it is much more than that. Tintin is a totally unique world, a myth or a saga. As a major figure in the Adventure of Tintin, he portrayed as a young Belgium man who has adventurous spirit and have a job as a reporter.Tintin was created in 1929 and he was like Totor - the first cartoon created by Herge - young brother, a kind of Totor who had become a jounalist but kept his boy scout's spirit.
Among his friends, Snowy comes first. Admittedly he is a dog, but he is above all, the faithfull friend of Tintin with a generous spirit. Secondly, Tchang appears in the family circle and becomes a lifelong friend of Tintin and almost a brother. Thirdly, Captain Haddock whose debut was to come a good ten years later is ready to sacrifice his own life for Tintin.
Not forgetting all the ohers, Castafiore, Professor Calculus, Thomson and Thompson who form Tintin's family circle.
