Is Tintin homosexual?

**Listen, it’s a fundamental rule of the universe: if there are two males in a comic book, and they spend ANY amount of time together, SOMEONE will decide they are gay. That’s just how it is. **

Thomson and Thompson are gay, I suppose.

He has no real age; sometimes he seems to be a child, at other times an adolescent, but generally he behaves like an adult… His sexlessness is also noteworthy. At no time does he have a girlfriend, or do marriage plans interfere with his adventures.
Strictly speaking, he is characterless. This could be seen as a weakness, but that would be a basic misunderstanding of the great coherence of Hergé’s world. In fact this is the neutrality of the hero which is the key element of the books’ success.

From this great Tintin site the navigation is a bit funny with all the new windows but it’s a beauty.

litost: Thomson and Thompson are gay, I suppose.

Well, the Thompson Twins named themselves after them. That could mean something.

Carry on.

**Aaaaargh! I must stop cliking on your links - you are going to get me fired!

The imdb one is OK though…

I can’t think why it doesn’t like your webpages… stoopid filtering software! **

samarm - i had the same thing happen with the filter at my job. The problem wasn’t the webpage that I linked to; it was that the site was supported by pop-up ads, which our filter didn’t like. The explanation I got was that pop-ups are one of the indicators for gambling/porn sites, so they trigger a warning, even if the site that you want to see is innocuous.

When I clicked on Larry Mudd’s links just now, I got a couple of pop-up ads, so that may be the problem.

You might want to run Adaware, Northern Piper– no popups on my server-- (The links were direct to .jpgs – no code to put popups into…)

As for the filters-- maybe it’s because it’s a direct link to my IP…? Filtering software might object to that because folks might use it to get around banned URLs.

And Tintin’s biographer, who wrote a marvellous book about Tintin and Herge, is called Harry Thompson.

Coincidence? :dubious:

What the heck? Is that a joke, Bosda? There’s no reason I should expect those links to be regarded as NSFW.

To avoid further hijacking this thread, I’ve posted a plea in GQ.
