His profession, of an adventurous reporter, was inspired by the real-life exploits of the French journalist Albert Londres. The comic strips also often refer to current events and comics. These are comics with a message! Snowy, Tintin’s loyal dog, is always by his side. And Tintin always gets around in high-tech airplanes and cars. Snap up a Tintin figurine at Aelia Duty Free.
