Tintin is a comics series created by the Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi, "Hergé" (1907-1983) which first appeared in 1929 in a youth supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle. This series narrates the adventures of the young journalist Tintin who travels around the world with his dog Snowy (or "Milou" in the French original edition) solving mysteries. As in the case of Asterix, Tintin comics are humorous and often include sophisticated satire and political or cultural commentary.

Both series are extremely successful but they also have very distinct stories, type of humor and drawings styles.
