It's an assassination,

I can't see a thing!

Captain! Over here! Help!

Up lads and at 'em!

Sir, oooooh!

Too late!

Plagues!

Plagues!

Ostrogoths!

Centipedes! Bashi-bazouks!

Nestor! Quick! Reset the fuses!

But. . . What happened here?

Oh, the vandals!

The iconoclasts!

The drunkards!

Captain!

Captain!

They stole the blue orange!

Ah, well. . .

Ah, well. . .

Good morning, Tintin.

Good morning, Captain.

Slept well I hope?

Slept well I hope?

Accursed ectoplasm. . .

Professor, we may as well tell you

straight away. . .

The blue orange -

the blue orange has been taken.

No, no, no, no, not cake.

No, no, toast please, as usual.

No, no, no, no, not cake.

No, no, toast please, as usual.

Professor. . . Last night. . .

While you were sleeping. . .

THE BLUE ORANGE WAS STOLEN.

Now, don't shout like that.

I am not deaf!

Now, don't shout like that.

I am not deaf!

But you, Captain,

are very talkative, you know.

You do nothing but talk, and talk

all the time about the blue orange -

it's a secret, you know!

Thundering typhoons!

Thundering typhoons!

I am telling you that

THE BLUE ORANGE IS NO MORE!

Huh? Pardon?

GONE!

GONE!

You were saying. . .?

THE BLUE ORANGE! VANISHED!

KIDNAPPED!

What!?

What!?

Now then, am I to understand that the

blue orange was stolen last night?

Now then, am I to understand that the

blue orange was stolen last night?

If that's what

you're trying to say, Captain,

tell me frankly,

and don't beat about the bush. . .

tell me frankly,

and don't beat about the bush. . .

Oooooooh nooo!

The blue orange stolen?

No, no, it's not possible.

No, it's another one

of the Captain's jokes, isn't it?

No, Professor, it's not a joke.

No, Professor, it's not a joke.

I have already tried to call

Professor Zalamea.

A highly rare mutant specimen!

A scientific deposit

of capital importance!

You must warn Professor Zalamea, mm?

My reputation is ruined, ruined!

It's a catastrophe, a catastrophe!

Now really, my dear Cuthbert,

surely you exaggerate the importance

of this piece of fruit. . .

It's inexplicable, inexplicable!

It's inexplicable, inexplicable!

What a vexation!

What an affront! What a curse!

But Cuthbert, you are. . .

But where is the little elf going?

But Cuthbert, you are. . .

But where is the little elf going?

I'm going straight away to find

the famous Professor Zalamea.

Come now, Cuthbert.

I must warn him without delay.

A billion blistering barnacles!

Stop moving around like that.

You're making me dizzy.

You're making me dizzy.

Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

There's not a minute to lose!

Quick! Quick!

Stealing an orange. . .

It's a bit surprising all the same. . .

Yes, but this orange was blue,

and sent by a very great scientist

whose research is known

by all the specialists.

It can only be a case

of scientific theft. . .

What I don't understand

is that the parcel arrived

without a word of explanation.

is that the parcel arrived

without a word of explanation.

I must leave immediately

for Professor Zalamea's laboratory

to tell him that the blue orange

has been stolen!

Captain, the three of us

are going to Valencia.

Captain, the three of us

are going to Valencia.

I mean, the four of us.

What? To Valencia!?

Alone! I will go alone.

Alone! I will go alone.

That is my decision, since there

is no respect for science here!

Captain, quick, catch him!

Oh! Hey! Professor! Professor. . .

And why not?

The beautiful Andalusian women,

the manzanilla sherry,

and then the flamenco. . .

the manzanilla sherry,

and then the flamenco. . .

Hey, Professor, wait for me!

Wait for me, Cuthbert!

TAKING NEXT PLANE TO VALENCIA -

A little patience, Cuthbert,

we've been announced!

we've been announced!

And in fact I think I see Professor

Zalamea now coming to welcome us.

- Yes, yes.

- Come on, let's go.

Welcome, gentlemen, welcome to the

Hacienda Bello Horizonte, welcome.

Please be so kind as to come in.

Pray, be seated, gentlemen,

Your arrival is both an honour

and a surprise.

A surprise?

You didn't receive our telegram?

A surprise?

You didn't receive our telegram?

No, nothing was given to me.

I don't understand it.

We sent it before we left,

yesterday morning,

and yet we must have had the

right address, Professor Zalamea,

right address, Professor Zalamea,

Professor, me?

Oh, no, Mr Tintin, no.

Let me introduce myself -

I am the cousin of the illustrious

Professor Zalamea.

And since it is he you have come to

see, I will call for him. Estensoro!

Forward!

Estensoro, go and get my cousin

in the laboratory.

Yes, and I'm surprised my cousin

didn't let me know you were coming.

But he must have received

our telegram!

It is true, sir, that our decision

to come was very sudden.

Ah, yes. . .

Sir, the Professor

is not in his laboratory.

Oh, I'm surprised.

My cousin is not in his laboratory.

Let's go and see. This way,

if you please. Come, sir.

Are you coming, Captain?

Are you coming, Captain?

Er, yes. I'm coming! I'm coming!

How does it go? Right, there, there. . .

Antenor Zalamea is a great scientist,

and like many great scientists,

and like many great scientists,

he is a little -

how would you put it? - eccentric.

He virtually never leaves

his laboratory.

I have his meals brought here -

if I didn't he would forget to eat,

and he won't sleep anywhere else.

if I didn't he would forget to eat,

Yes, of course, Professor Calculus

also has his little habits. . .

I have a cousin. . .

He goes for long walks. . .

He will be back for dinner.

But it would be a great pleasure

Hergé

Georges Prosper Remi (French: [ʁəmi]; 22 May 1907 – 3 March 1983), known by the pen name Hergé ([ɛʁʒe]), was a Belgian cartoonist. He is best known for creating The Adventures of Tintin, the series of comic albums which are considered one of the most popular European comics of the 20th century. He was also responsible for two other well-known series, Quick & Flupke (1930–40) and The Adventures of Jo, Zette and Jocko (1936–57). His works were executed in his distinct ligne claire drawing style. Born to a lower middle-class family in Etterbeek, Brussels, Hergé began his career by contributing illustrations to Scouting magazines, developing his first comic series, The Adventures of Totor, for Le Boy-Scout Belge in 1926. Working for the conservative Catholic newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle, he created The Adventures of Tintin in 1929 on the advice of its editor Norbert Wallez. Revolving around the actions of boy reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy, the series' early installments – Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, Tintin in the Congo, and Tintin in America – were designed as conservative propaganda for children. Domestically successful, after serialisation the stories were published in book form, with Hergé continuing the series and also developing both the Quick & Flupke and Jo, Zette and Jocko series for Le Vingtième Siècle. Influenced by his friend Zhang Chongren, from 1934 Hergé placed far greater emphasis on conducting background research for his stories, resulting in increased realism from The Blue Lotus onward. Following the German occupation of Belgium in 1940, Le Vingtième Siècle was closed but Hergé continued his series in Le Soir, a popular newspaper controlled by the Nazi administration. After the Allied liberation of Belgium in 1944, Le Soir was shut down and its staff – including Hergé – accused of having been collaborators. An official investigation was launched, and while no charges were brought against Hergé, in subsequent years he repeatedly faced accusations of having been a traitor and collaborator. With Raymond Leblanc he established Tintin magazine in 1946, through which he serialised new Adventures of Tintin stories. As the magazine's artistic director, he also oversaw the publication of other successful comics series, such as Edgar P. Jacobs' Blake and Mortimer. In 1950 he established Studios Hergé as a team to aid him in his ongoing projects; prominent staff members Jacques Martin and Bob de Moor greatly contributed to subsequent volumes of The Adventures of Tintin. Amid personal turmoil following the collapse of his first marriage, he produced Tintin in Tibet, his personal favourite of his works. In later years he became less prolific, and unsuccessfully attempted to establish himself as an abstract artist. Hergé's works have been widely acclaimed for their clarity of draughtsmanship and meticulous, well-researched plots. They have been the source of a wide range of adaptations, in theatre, radio, television, cinema, and computer gaming. He remains a strong influence on the comic book medium, particularly in Europe. Widely celebrated in Belgium, a Hergé Museum was established in Louvain-la-Neuve in 2009. more…
