Which characters would you include if you were to write a new episode ?


In the later episodes, we see a lot of characters who had previously appeared n earlier episodes coming back, sometimes having central roles, sometimes just making cameo appreances.

If you were to write your own Tintin episode following those written by Herge, which characters would you put in? Also, where would the story be set? Which themes would be tackled? What sort of plot?

One that I would HAVE to include was that Italian driver in the "Calculus Affair" who drove like a MADMAN when he offered Tintin and Capt Haddock a ride to catch up with the car they were chasing....does anyone remember him?

My brother and I still crack up thinking about him ,for some weird reason! He just had such a crazy cool aura about him..espeically when the cop stops him and he just fakes not being able to speak english and then drives off again!

Yes, I'll copy it from my book:

Officer: You barbarian! Going through a built-up area at that speed! You'll pay for this!...Your name?

Driver: Arturo Benedetto Giovanni Guiseppe Pietro Archangelo Alfredo Cartoffoli da Milano

Officer: Er....I....Hm....Well, don't do it again...

VRROOM (continues speeding away immediately)

It depends what the plot is. I really liked Herge's idea of setting an entire story in an airport - if such a book were written, maybe it could be set just after the gang touch down from Alcazaropolis. I'm not original enough to think of a story beyond that, though.

Regardless of the type of story, Jolyon Wagg would HAVE to be in it. I love that character more than words can convey.

My idea of an episode would have TinTin, Haddock, Snowy, and perhaps a different minor charater end up being at Cuba.

Not sure what the story should be about, but from what I read fro mthe offical website, there's never been a TinTin story in cuba.

Definately Generals Alcazar+Tapioca.

I'd include Professor Calculus and give him a starring role for a change.

I would make some stories of the countries Tintin did not visit in the original series.

Australia.
Japan.
Canada.
Italy.
Spain.
Scandinavia.
