Tintin?s Father, Nobody?s Son

Although Remi eventually gave Tintin?s age as 17, the same as Remi?s when he left school, the character is truly ageless. He?s old enough to hold a job as a journalist, although he does little actual reporting after the first few books, but his interests?treasure, adventure, gadgetry?are uniformly those of a boy, and that went for his creator as well. For all the attention Remi paid to the design of automobiles and the details of place, exquisitely rendered in the clear-line style, his characters are two-dimensional, as simple as the flat planes of color that fill their ?clear-line? outlines. It?s not hard to see the appeal of Tintin?s world to Steven Spielberg, a child of divorce forever exploring the aesthetics of adolescence.
