Did we say that Tintin and the End was our final episode? Well…we lied! Yes, David and Ian were in Belgium this fall for a comics convention in Ghent, but they couldn’t not visit the Hergé Museum – a longtime dream of David’s. Did it live up to David’s – admittedly pretty high – expectations? […]

Bonus Episode – A Day at the Museum

This week on Totally Tintin, the final episode of the series: Ian and Dave answer your questions, give us their final thoughts and give out some well-earned thanks. And let us just say here: thanks to all of you who have listened to the show and who have added their thoughts and comments (here and […]

Tintin and the End

This week on Totally Tintin, David and Ian postpone the inevitable and take a look at Tintin in the movies. Some are pretty good and some are pretty bad and some are TERRIBLE. Want to know which? Well, give us a listen. If you’re curious and you’d like to check out some of the movies […]

Tintin at the Movies

  This week on Totally Tintin we’re getting near the end as we take a look at Herge’s final, incomplete Tintin story, Tintin and Alph-Art. Ian and Dave have some fun with the book before getting down to business, but we know you’ll forgive their high spirits and hope you’ll enjoy this week’s unusual presentation. […]

Tintin and Alph-Art

This week on Totally Tintin, it’s a revolution with involuntary abstinence and terrible trousers as Ian and David take a very long look at Tintin and the Picaros. Will they enjoy the last, finished Tintin book? As we head into our last shows, Ian and Dave would like to hear if you have any questions […]

Tintin and the Picaros

This week on Totally Tintin, Ian and Dave discuss Flight 714 (to Sydney) – the Tintin book where things go coo-coo bananas: ESP, aliens and pink cowboy shirts??? Dave has some real objections to this book. Listen and find out why.

Flight 714

This week on Totally Tintin, Ian and Dave are stuck at home…just like Tintin. That’s right! We’re looking at The Castafiore Emerald! A broken step, a noisy owl, a stolen emerald…er, that’ it…

The Castafiore Emerald

This week Ian and Dave go to great heights to discuss Hergé’s most personal work, the fantastic Tintin in Tibet. Get ready for snow, lamas, snow, mountains, snow, and a walking snowman who isn’t Frosty!

TIntin in Tibet

This week on Totally Tintin, Ian and Dave take a look at The Red Sea Sharks – slavery, a cast of thousands (of characters we’ve seen before), and not very many sharks. We’re still basking in glow this late period hot streak!  

The Red Sea Sharks

This week on Totally Tintin, Ian and Dave take a look at Hergé’s exciting The Calculus Affair. Secret agents, superweapons and shattering glass!

The Calculus Affair

This week on Totally Tintin: it’s high fives all round as Tintin and company finally get to the moon to find intrigue, betrayal, treachery and silliness.

Explorers on the Moon

This week on Totally Tintin: everyone is going to the moon…or making devious plans – except for Ian and Dave, they’re just playing the goat. Let’s take a look at Destination Moon!

Destination Moon

This week on Totally Tintin, Hergé goes back and starts again, and so do Ian and Dave as they examine the history of Land of Black Gold – exploding cars, exploding cigars and the brattiest brat that has ever been bratty in the history of comic strips. If you’re curious, here is a link to […]

Land of Black Gold

This week on Totally Tintin, things go South…American! As Tintin and Captain Haddock race off to Peru to rescue Professor Calculus. Ian and Dave are along for the very enjoyable ride as we look at Prisoners of the Sun.

Prisoners of the Sun

Spooky mummies! A mysterious sickness? Pesky glass fragments all over the floor! It’s The Seven Crystal Balls. Join Ian and Dave for an intense and extensive look at Hergé’s longest story! (Seriously, clean up that glass, it’s a hazard.)

The Seven Crystal Balls

This week on Totally Tintin, Ian and Dave go on a treasure hunt and find the delightful Red Rackham’s Treasure. Undersea adventures, shark submarines, and the first appearance by Professor Calculus – what’s not to love! Yo ho ho and a bottle of two hundred and fifty year old rum! Here is a sample page […]

Red Rackham’s Treasure

This week on Totally Tintin, Ian and David take a look at The Secret of the Unicorn, in which Hergé finally breaks off all contact with reality and seeks a place for Captain Haddock in Tintin’s world.

The Secret of the Unicorn

This week on Totally Tintin, it’s life during wartime. Is it about the conflict between science and religion; is it a metaphor for war and life during occupation; an escapist fantasy; or is it all a dream? We don’t know either, but join us as we try to figure out The Shooting Star!

The Shooting Star

We promised change last week and here we have it: the end of Hergé’s pre-war period and the end of political satire. In The Crab with the Golden Claws the political gives way to the personal and the fantastical as Hergé fights to create in occupied Brussels. Most importantly: Haddock!

The Crab with the Golden Claws

This week on Totally Tintin, we travel to the magical country of Syladavia to find King Ottokar’s Sceptre. Let’s join Ian and Dave as they take a look at Hergé’s last pre-war book.
