Everyone loves Tintin!!!

Since there have been no theme posts yet, I thought I'd be the first to set sail...I know there are a lot of Tintin enthus in BPGC, so expecting a lot of answers...If u know ur Tintin really well, you'll get all of 'em.

1. Easy one to start off. What is the only song Bianca Castafiore ever sings?

2. Name Tintin's pilot friend and his nationality.

3. Which Tintin adventure cover shows Tintin in immediate danger of being executed?

4. Complete: Tintin in the Land of ___ ______.

5. What is a puñal?

6. Who stole a ring belonging to his mother and blamed it on the maid?


ANSWERS

1. The Jewel Song, from Faust (Every Castafiore adventure)
2. Skut, Est(h)onian (The Red Sea Sharks)
3. Tintin in America
4. the Soviets
5. A colonial Spanish knife/dagger (The Broken Ear)
6. Laszlo Carreidas (Flight 714)

No one got all of 'em.
Jorge Macieira and Lord Labak Das got 4 each, well done.
