Talk:Tintin and the Picaros

Untitled
When Alcazar and Tintin are in the jungle, and Alcazar's cigar is shot out of his mouth with an arrow, Tintin seems to have met the Ridgewell person who is studying the Aryumba tribe before. Which album was that in? J I P | Talk 08:36, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Original publication
Hello Mezigue! I understand your confusion at my recent edit that replaced Tintin magazine with Tintin l'Hebdoptimiste. At first you provided an unhelpful edit summary and then on your second revert stated the two are the same publication. You may be right! I would definitely like to know if that is the case. However, can you please provide your sources to back up your statement? I have cited the Lofficier's book, which, for the earlier Tintin albums cites the former publication and for this album ceased doing so and cited the latter publication. I wonder why they did that? At this point, I am simply trying to improve Wikipedia by adding information that I get from reliable sources and citing those sources. Thanks. —Prhartcom (talk) 15:34, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure. Here is the explanation from the same horse's mouth. I am not sure why Lofficier wrote the name of the French version of the magazine for this book but surely the title of the Belgian magazine takes precedence as it's the original.  In any case it was the same magazine under different names so at least the link should remain.  Mezigue (talk) 16:57, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Sweet! I love it, thanks for getting to the bottom of this. I, too, cannot guess why the Lofficiers did that as it confuses people. Agreed, the way we have the infobox now is much simpler and more accurate. Cheers. —Prhartcom (talk) 17:16, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Citation errors
Just for those who haven't got the relevent code enabled on their accounts, there are errors being produced by the SFN citations for "Apostolidès 2010", "McCarthy 2006" and "Hergé 1975".—Brigade Piron (talk) 10:39, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Carnival inspiration
I had always believed that the Carnival of Binche was the inspiration for the costumes used in the work (see here, which also mentions a number of other Belgian inspirations). The Nice example appears to be just floats in which costumes are not used... —Brigade Piron (talk) 17:37, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

"The series as a whole"
from the introduction: "Hergé continued The Adventures of Tintin with Tintin and Alph-Art, a story that he never completed, and the series as a whole became a defining part of the Franco-Belgian comics tradition." By the 1970s, the series was already a defining part of the BD tradition. Even more: it was its very foundation and had been so for decades. Wouldn't it be better to do away with the latter part of the sentence? Steinbach (talk) 11:10, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
