Menachem Begin?!
I have altered some text which read: "A Rabbi whom some have identified as Menachem Begin appears briefly in Tintin in the Land of Black Gold, but his name is not given and he appears only very briefly. He only appeared in the early editions of the graphic novel and vanished in later ones (as the story was moved from historical Palestine to fictitious Khemed)."

Menachem Begin was not religious, let alone a religious scholar, and the association of him with a "Rabbi" (really just a member of Irgun in the original version of Land of Black Gold) is bizarre, to say the least. Particularly because there is no physical resemblance (the character is bearded and wearing a kippa. Begin's appearance was clean-shaven, hatless and Western). I have reworded it, but in reality I don't think anyone has claimed that the character was Begin, though apparently occupying a similar position. 192.197.178.2 (talk) 22:21, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

History/Background section moved to main series article
The History/Background section of this article contains well-written text that is truly the history of the entire Adventures of Tintin series. For that reason, this section has been removed from this article and moved to the The Adventures of Tintin article. See the talk page there. —Prhartcom  (talk)  16:37, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Billy Bolivar
I recently came across this webpage, which says that Billy Bolivar was named "Bolivar (Hippolyte)" in the 1932 black-and-white version of the comic. The webpage is from a site called Tintinologist.org, which doesn't appear to be a "reliable source" by Wikipedia standards.

Googling "Billy Bolivar" and "Hippolyte" together doesn't yield any additional results, aside from a blog or two.

Do any of the off-line scholarly sources (Farr, Lofficier, etc.) mention Bolivar at all? I've recently added a sentence about Bolivar being inspired by the German strongman Arthur Saxon, but I can't find a good place for the sentence, so it would be nice to have more information to work with. --Jpcase (talk) 19:57, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Conversation between Snowy and Tintin
It's a factual error that this was the last story in which Tintin could understand Snowy. The original release of The Cigars of the Pharaoh starts with a conversation between the two. 84.156.209.58 (talk) 22:17, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Name other real life person
It would be great if the other real life person to have been mentioned in Tintin could be named. 84.156.209.58 (talk) 22:18, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Al Capone
The article currently cites the Lofficiers when it states that Capone "was the only real-life figure to appear as a character in the series." I think those authors are mistaken: Yosuke Matsuoka appears (though he is not named) giving the speech that withdrew Japan from the League of Nations in The Blue Lotus.
