Tintin and the Picaros (Tintin et les Picaros), 1976 Tintin returns to the country of San Theodoros, in a Latin-American tale of a coup d’état, complete with hostage-taking and guerrilla warfare. Hergé dreamed up a carnival troupe named the Jolly Follies (Joyeux Turlurons). Hergé’s archives include photos and articles about carnival processions, and the author was partially inspired by the famous group of revellers, the orange-throwing Gilles of Binche.
