3. According to the ARTICLE...

Quote: "We hypothesize that Tintin has growth hormone deficiency and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism from repeated trauma," the study reads.

The researchers "identified 50 significant losses of consciousness in 16 of Tintin's 23 books," the report reads.

"Of these, 43 incidents involved head trauma with loss of consciousness representing grade three concussions. Tintin sustained 26 concussions resulting from a blow with a blunt object."

Sooooo, yea, basically. :)

5. I Remember Watching Tintin

I remember watching some of the Adventures of Tintin on the show Garfield Goose, hosted by Frazier Thomas, on WGN-TV, Channel 9, in Chicago, about 1964.

6. Was Tintin gay?

He never dated women, and always looked so youthful...
