Excellent work Andy  8)

I don't want to be a uniform nazi, but shouldn't Tintin's jumper be blue  ;)

Hi to all,

Actually, if I remember correctly, in his earlier adventures (as on the cover of Cigars of the Pharaoh) Tintin did wear a yellow t-shirt with the usual brown pants and white socks. The blue jumper with a white shirt underneath came later. I'm no Tintinologist though, so feel free to correct me if you know more.

Yours truly,

Sir Dryden

The detective and the civi are very effective use of restrained/subdued colors.  To my mind they look very noire.  I appreciate the ability to resist using overly bright colors to highlight, though they certainly have their place too. Nice work!

That private dick is a real work of art. Love the expression on his mug. Pure Raymond Chandler in lead.
