My love of Tintin began, as almost everyone's does, in childhood. The books were translated into English not in the order written, so for a while the chronology of the series was somewhat jumbled: in one book the cars and other urban furniture are all s; in the next, technology has advanced enough to build a nuclear-powered rocket capable of reaching the moon; in the next we were back to what looks like the s, except that — in The Cigars of the Pharaoh — a desert sheikh is able to proclaim himself a fan of Tintin, even getting a servant to hold up a copy of Destination Moon as testament to his devotion.
No matter: any child with the Alice books or, say, The Wind in the Willows, with its car-driving Toad under his or her belt is not going to be too fazed by the dream-logic of what we may loosely call postmodernism — that is, a work of art that draws attention to its own artifice.
For the adventures of Tintin, although they might have messed around with the conventions a little, such as with the fourth-wall-breaking direct address to readers at the end of The Secret of the Unicorn, in which Tintin tells everyone to pursue the book's follow-up adventures in Red Rackham's Treasure , never left the realm of possibility. The adventures might have been implausible — Tintin's escapes from capture or near-certain death might have often been on the unlikely side — but there was nothing in them that was flat-out impossible.
Except, perhaps, for the brief sequence in which he learns the language of elephants in The Cigars of the Pharaoh, but that kind of mistake was never repeated, and besides, the book itself is, appropriately enough given its MacGuffin, an opium dream of a story. There is certainly none of the CGI garbage of the film — its flying galleons, its impossibly-well trained falcon etc etc etc.
There is a truism which states that the very appearance of a comic strip is virtually the same thing as the storyboard of a film — the sequence of images which is the intermediate stage between the script and the final product.
This is certainly why comic books do, according to the film-makers who use them as basis for their next franchise, scream "Take me!
Take me! But this is very misleading; a faux-ami , as we call a word that is not the same in French as it is in English eg sensible in French means sensitive, not sensible. The experience of reading a cartoon is not the same as that of watching a film. It is slow, quiet and intimate, and in childhood would be most typically undertaken while lying front down on the floor, the book in front of one, one's legs raised perpendicularly at the knee, ankles crossed; the classic childhood pose of absorption in a text.
