The exact location of Gaipajama in India (Rawhajpoutalah in the French editions) - seen in the original Blue Lotus. The location is not indicated in any of the revised editions.3yr ⋅ micro_haila ⋅ r/TheAdventuresofTintin
I understand French, but I didn't get the punchline (in the last panel) of this joke. Can a native French reader here point it out to me? Or is it supposed to be oddly un-funny?

Which adventure is this image from? It's part of the collage on the front/back pages of the black and white facsimile books, and i can't seem to place it 🤔3yr ⋅ micro_haila ⋅ r/TheAdventuresofTintin
Finally managed to get my hands on one of these for around $9. Not a rare book (yet), but increasingly harder to find.3yr ⋅ micro_haila ⋅ r/TheAdventuresofTintin
Do all of the English books now come with all-new translations? These are samples from the Tintin app. I noticed that with most of the books' opening pages, the English text seems rather off compared to Lonsdale-Cooper and Turner's versions. Wondering when, how and why this came about.3yr ⋅ micro_haila ⋅ r/TheAdventuresofTintin
I'm personally translating the Totor strips for my own ease of reading. Can't decide whether to use a digitised mock-Hyslop font (left) or a Book-like font more true to the original (right). What do you think? (PS - this is entirely non commercial, but please let me know if it's breaking rules)3yr ⋅ micro_haila ⋅ r/TheAdventuresofTintin
