Tintin Trivia

---

The following quiz is meant for fans who have been reading each of the Tintin comics again and again, trying to find something new each time, till they think that they Know All.  I used to be one of these people (Blistering barnacles !), till I went out into the net and found out that I could be counted among the Ignorant Ones.

In this page, I have provided the questions that I myself (with my friends) could cook up.  More of them can be found in the links given in this page.
 

How can we tell Thomson (without a 'p', as in Venezuela), and Thompson (with a 'p', as in Psychology) apart, just by looking at their faces?

Chang has his name mentioned in three Tintin books.  Name them (I know two will be easy...).

Herge knew about Asterix. Where can we find evidence of this fact ?

At which places in Tintin comics can we find inconsistencies in the chronological order of Tintin stories ?

Which Tintin comic do you find the most "star-studded" ? By "stars", I mean the characters who appear in more than one book.

Name the ships that Captain Haddock has captained in Tintin stories.

I'll try to come up with more questions soon.  I'm not providing the answers to the above questions here (that would take the fun out of it...).  In case you're really desperate, you can ask for the answers by writing to me at mevar@hotmail.com.

Meanwhile, here are some cool links:
