2004 is the 75th anniversary of the famous Tintin comic book. The strip first appeared in 1929 with “The Adventures of Tintin in the Land of the Soviets”, which, incidentally, I read for the first time in December. It’s really amazing how the author, Herge, continued on with the strip for many years, until 1976. (The book after that was left unfinished as Herge died in 1983.) My favourite character has to be Captain Haddock and his infamous insults.

Anyway, as I was just checking out Yahoo’s most emailed photos, I came across this photo of a Proboscis monkey. And you know what it reminded me of? Rastapopulous (one of Tintin’s many enemies) and his big nose!
