In fact, that happened to be my late grandfather's favorite comic book and he had quite a collection of the Asterix books that I used to read when I stayed at his house. I think he probably identified with Asterix because of the similiar white mustache he has and the French culture he loved. My grandfather was something of a Francophile.<BR/><BR/>2. Barinthus...I think I might have seen the TV adaption, but I'm not sure. What year was it made? I'll check out the link.<BR/><BR/>In the Calcus Affair, the professor finally revealed to his friends that he was actually only hard of hearing in one ear. And later in the book he at last wore a hearing aid. Wish he'd learn sign language so he'd save the captain all the times from blowing his top...(heh heh)<BR/><BR/>3. Carl, yes, I felt the same way with the Tintin and Asterix books! I love travelling, and I've been to 14 countries around the world. I still feel this urge for travel, so to satisfy this urge I'd take a Tintin book with me to my home and escape to wherever it may take me!DeafCartoon.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01728379143131241025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130815.post-1165027348509039962006-12-01T18:42:00.000-08:002006-12-01T18:42:00.000-08:00I grew up reading Tintin, first in Dutch (Kuifje) ...I grew up reading Tintin, first in Dutch (Kuifje) and then in English.

There was even a tv adaptation - http://imdb.com/title/tt0179552/<BR/><BR/>Funny, I never really connected to the professor as a deaf person even although I knew he had hearing loss. This does not mean he's any less of an unique character. <BR/><BR/>Personally I'm more particular to the captain and his amusing temper.<BR/><BR/>Interesting connection you made to the Tent City Revolution and I agree with you - I'm glad violence did not break out. All acts of violence were intialized by the administration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130815.post-1164785898208110052006-11-28T23:38:00.000-08:002006-11-28T23:38:00.000-08:00Yes yes I grew up reading Tintin as well! :) I don...Yes yes I grew up reading Tintin as well! :) I don't have any of the comics anymore though but as a child, a roomie who was my mom's good friend and was German.
