Which are the books in which Snowy speaks ? I read "Black Gold" and Snowy speaks in it regularly, I thought he speaks in all stories. Jay 13:14, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

That's the funny thing about Snowy. He speaks all the time, but Hergé never makes it clear who he is speaking to. In Tintin in America, at the bottom of page 8, he clearly speaks to Tintin and explains how he escapes Al Capone. In Flight 714 (where all the characters' memories are wiped from most of the book's events), on the last page, he says something allong the lines of "If only I could tell them what I've seen." As if he, in fact, couldn't talk.

He talks a lot in The Broken Ear. Yoyo5 14:53, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

He can talk, the question is if any of the humans can understand him (I think not). --85.130.145.82 12:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I believe Tintin is the only one who can. --75.57.96.7 17:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Userbox

For you Tintin fans, here are two userboxes to set up for placement on your userpage.

This user likes to read Tintin comic albums and books about Tintin.

This user reads Tintin comics.

--PremKudva 05:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I made the second box using a PD image I found in the commons. This is the best I could find, that of a mug of beer. I would have prefered whiskey, since Haddock loves to drown himself in it. If you have come across a better looking image or a non copyrighted image from a Tintin comic do point me towards it.

Split Article

I think we should split Tintin and Snowy to Tintin and Snowy j@5h+u15y@n

Disagree at the moment. MadMaxDog 00:51, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I disagree, Tintin and Snowy are two distinctive characters. WoodElf 12:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

But it's Tintin and Snowy and without one you can't have the other, besides a single Snowy article would be too small.

Not the point. Articles of barely half a page (Snowy) which have a perfect fit where they are do not need to be moved. Once it gets longer, no objection. I would not revert it if somebody did it, but its not necessary. MadMaxDog 12:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

• It has been on my back burner to split Tintin out from Snowy, and merge Snowy into a list of supporting characters along with Haddock. I have been sandboxing the idea on and off. Hiding Talk 13:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Note that Snowy has his own article in the Danish, French, Spanish, Farsi, Dutch, Portuguese, and Swedish wikipedias. You can compare how they deal with shorter articles. Rigadoun (talk) 19:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Ummm---so, is "Tintin" a nickname for "Martin?"— Preceding unsigned comment added by ] (] • ]) No I mean a pseudonym, a codename. Or it could be short for Martin. Or it could be just a random name that Hergé chose because it sounds catchy.

Okay, I agree. Don't have an article for Snowy. He doesn't do much at all. Tintin, on the other hand, is the most important character, and deserves his own article. So split. 75.57.96.7 17:08, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Wooah Wooah

Can we find out why Snowy barks "Wooah" rather than "Woof" in the English editions? I've tried finding out but failed. Other dogs say "woof" such as in The Black Island. I wonder if a Belgian speaker can figure it out. --Robauz 01:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Romantic Interest

Aztually Henri Fourcat from the book Tintin and Alph-Art seemed to to somehow interested in meeting Tintin with a possibly romantic interest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.240.189.109 (talk) 16:42, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

That's his trademark bark. Dogs don't ever say "woof." They say "Wooah." And Captain Haddock has his own list of catchphrases. Why can't Snowy have his? 75.57.96.7 17:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Abilities/powers field in infobox

The previous description for this field read "Tintin is a renowned journalist and adventurer, Snowy his canine companion." This is a one line in-universe description of the characters, not their abilities. Consistent or notable abilities the two have exhibited I would think should belong here. Tintin's marksmanship is one (he warns some people he's holding up that he's a crack shot in one of books), I don't recall if Snowy has any outstanding abilities beyond what a dog is expected to be able to do.

RACISM!

Wow, someone NEEDS to add something about the racism in TINTINS comics, they were blatantly racist against the Jews in a time when the world did NOTHING to help us from the NAZIS!ZionistLionist (talk) 09:39, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

ZionistLionist, there is plenty of discussion on the racism in the Tintin comics in the article "the ideology of Tintin". This particular article is just about the characters of Tintin and Snowy and there is no evidence in any of the comics that they are anti-semitic. Besides, Hergé was forced to put in the anti-semitic stuff by the Nazis and so a lot of it was edited out in the later editions!

Umm, there is little blatant racism against Jews, mostly some bad stereotyping. On the other hand, there is no evidence I know of that Hergé was forced to put in any anti-semitic stuff, they were his own prejudices. Fram (talk) 12:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Really? Oh, ok, sorry! I just heard somewhere that he was forced into the whole anti-semitism stuff (the things you find out about some people though!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.23.159 (talk) 18:31, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

THIS WORLDWIDE ANTI SEMITISM JEALOUSY OF OUR GODLY POWERS AND THE FACT THAT WE ARE GODS CHOSEN FOLK WILL BE PUT DOWN BY THE ARMY OF ISRAEL!

FORCED???? WHAT KIND OF FUCKING EXCUSE IS THAT!!! LIKE HOW THE NAZIS FORCED YOU XTIANS TO GO ALONG WITH THE HOLOCAUST YOU KNEW ALL ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST THE WHOLE TIME YET YOU DID NOTHING TO STOP IT!!!! :@:@:@:@ZionistLionist (talk) 10:30, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
