Bob de Moor - Original advertising poster of Tintin for Greenpeace with the title "Campaign to save the Antarctic.” Finished after Hergé's death by Bob de Moor, who worked with Hergé since 1950 on the Tintin books
Objectif Lune (Originally serialized as On a Marché sur la Lune)
Written by Hergé
Drawn by Studios Hergé (Hergé, Bob de Moor et al.)
In this blog I attempt to show the key differences between this gag in the original serialized version and the later collected edition. I originally wanted this to be a short and simple post but when analysing the strips more closely I started to notice many other differences between the two versions, and I started to write those down as well. Obviously, the colouring is very different between the two versions something which is to be expected and I won’t really comment on.
The original serialized version of the story has only ever been rereleased in French in Hergé, le feuilleton intégral tome 11 and Tintin Les premiers pas sur la Lune both of which can be purchased on the official Tintin store. Unfortunately, the Dutch translation of the original version was never rereleased, and it has never seen a release in English at all. The images I use for this blog are scans of the Dutch language versions of these stories.
On a marché sur la Lune, Le Journal de Tintin Year 5 #27/Mannen op de Maan, Weekblad Kuifje Jaargang 5 #27 was originally published by Le Lombard on the 6th of July 1950.
Objectif Lune/Raket naar de Maan/Destination Moon originally published in Dutch and French by Casterman in 1953 (This Dutch edition is from 1981).
I will be going over these pages panel by panel, describing what’s different and sometimes explaining why. The first panel has been completely redrawn, so all the characters fit in the now slightly shorter panel. Tintin’s position is unchanged, but Haddock and Calculus were moved more to the left. The pockets and folds in their clothing is slightly changed, Tintin’s eyebrows are more pronounced in the redrawn version. The biggest change in this panel is Haddock’s positioning, his head is now turned more to the left (our left). At first glance panel 2 seems to have only been shortened, cutting out Calculus’ question mark balloon, Haddock’s dialogues is shortened to “Watch out!...” dropping the word “Professor”. But on closer inspection we can see that Haddock’s head is drawn differently, Calculus’ pupils are also in a different position. The third panel is now longer and a Haddock chasing after Calculus was added. The man holding the grate has been completely removed from the comic, instead we now see a signpost with a sign saying “Watch out! Freshly painted!”. But these are not the only differences in this panel, when looking closer one can see the painter has also been redrawn slightly. His overall has more folds and is a bit more detailed, his neck has also gotten an extra line and his overall also doesn’t cover his shoes as much as it used to. When looking closely at his head we can also notice that he has a new cap in the redraw which is more spherical. The last difference surrounds the man walking in the background, his original position is now covered up by the sign, so he was moved to the left and is now walking the opposite direction.
Panel 4 was also changed significantly. Obviously, the man holding the grate was removed again his exclamation mark balloon was also removed and instead the painter now gets a question mark balloon. The panel is also wider now, so we actually see Haddock getting hit by the paint. Calculus falling into the painter now also has the added side effect of knocking over the signpost, causing the sign to leap through the air. The painter was redrawn again for this version, his face was redrawn in a style much closer to Bob de Moor’s personal art style and his cap now has 129 on it instead of the double-digit number it had before. Panel 5 is also quite different, in the redrawn version Haddock no longer has the striped pattern because the man with the grate was removed and is instead completely read from the shoulders and above. The original panel shows us a medium shot of Haddock which the redrawn version changes to full shot. In the redrawn version the paint blast has also knocked over Haddock’s captain’s hat which can be seen (painted red) on the floor in the bottom left corner. The sign has also landed on Haddock for added comedic effect, the knocked over signpost can still be seen in the bottom right corner. Panel 6 was completely removed from the collected edition, its text now having been added to panel 7. The seventh panel is the only one not to have been redrawn, the only changes were the added caption from panel 6 and that the text balloon was moved down to make room for this.
The main differences between the two versions are that the grate was removed from the joke and Haddock was more present in the drawings as extra set up. This last bit caused some panels to be widened which in turn caused others to be shrunk. Although Bob de Moor worked on both versions, it’s obvious judging by the style that he redrew the pages largely on his own.
Destination Moon and its companion book Explorers on the Moon have many differences from their original serialized version. Certain pages were added, others were scrapped, certain panels were redrawn, reordered, or slightly enlarged. Most of this was done because the original 118 page* story had to be divided over two collected editions each holding 62 pages of comic strips. Most of the new pages were added to Destination whilst about 2,5 pages were cut for Explorers. The reason I decided to focus on this paint gag specifically was because it looks very different from the original yet there seems to be no obvious reason for the change. Both versions take up the exact same amount of space on the page. Perhaps Hergé wasn’t happy with the original gag, the grate does make it a bit more contrived or perhaps he wanted Haddock to be more present in it. But this is pure speculation, in any case I’m happy it got redrawn. I personally find the version in the collected edition much funnier because there’s a bit more anticipation in this version; we see Haddock chasing after Calculus and then we actually see him get hit by the spray paint. That said I really like the original drawing on panel 5, I like Haddock’s expression and figure more in that one. The paint dripping off his fingers is a nice touch too.
I hope you enjoyed my comparison of this short gag from Destination Moon, as mentioned before the story has many differences which I might delve into in the future!
*The exact number of pages depends on whether or not you count the cover pages especially made for the story and the summary page, I excluded these from my count (none of these made it into the collected editions anyway) including them the total would be 125 pages.
New post: "Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Landman,’ ‘The Day of the Jackal’ Starring Eddie Redmayne Lead SkyShowtime’s Upcoming Content Slate (EXCLUSIVE)".
By Ellise Shafer, Jun 3, 2024.
SkyShowtime has revealed its upcoming content slate for 2024 and beyond, including the anticipated new series “Landman” from Taylor Sheridan and “The Day of the Jackal” starring Eddie Redmayne.
Landman,” starring Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore and described as a “modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs,” is coming exclusively to the European streaming service later this year. Meanwhile “The Day of the Jackal,” which also stars Lashana Lynch, is a 10-part series adaptation based on Frederick Forsyth’s novel and the subsequent 1973 film that follows a lone assassin (Redmayne) and the MI6 agent (Lynch) determined to hunt him down. The streaming date for “The Day of the Jackal” has yet to be announced.
(Excerpt) The Day of the Jackal”: TBA
This contemporary reimagining of the iconic thriller stars Academy, Tony and BAFTA award-winner Eddie Redmayne as The Jackal, an unrivaled and highly elusive lone assassin, and Lashana Lynch as Bianca, a tenacious MI6 agent in a relentless, global pursuit to catch him. Úrsula Corberó, star of global hit series “La Casa De Papel” (“Money Heist”), stars in the series as Nuria, someone at the heart of The Jackal’s personal life, entirely unaware of who he truly is. Other stellar cast include Charles Dance featuring in the role of Timothy Winthrop, Richard Dormer as Norman, Chukwudi Iwuji as Osita Halcrow, Lia Williams as Isabel Kirby, Khalid Abdalla as Ulle Dag Charles, Eleanor Matsuura as Zina Jansone, Jonjo O’Neill as Edward Carver and Sule Rimi as Paul Pullman. The 10-part adaptation is based on the seminal novel by Frederick Forsyth and subsequent award-winning 1973 film from Universal Pictures.

Mystical Origins of the Tarot: From Ancient Roots to Modern Usage
23 Republican Senators & 124 Congressmen signed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court asking for a 50 state ban on mifepristone, a drug safer than tylenol that is standard treatment for abortion & miscarriages, "due to safety concerns".
The brief DARES to argue that banning the life saving drug would save women from 'reproductive control'. (x)
These 147 people would rather have women die of sepsis than let women control their own bodies. If your representatives are on this list, call them and tell their office you will be voting against them in the next election because they asked SCOTUS to throw the US medical drug system into chaos at the cost of American lives.

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) - Renaissance
A stop-motion animated film, produced and conceived by Tim Burton. 109,440 frames were taken in total. Originally started as a poem Burton wrote while working as an animator for Walt Disney Productions. It was initially released through Touchstone Pictures due to concerns it was "too dark and scary for kids," but has been reissued through Walt Disney Pictures. Catherine O'Hara voices Sally, and Paul Reubens voices Lock. Halloween Town was inspired by German Expressionism and Christmas Town by Dr. Seuss.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) - Renaissance
Loosely based on the novel, Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo. Demi Moore voices Esmeralda, and Jason Alexander voices Hugo. (Side note: I'm excited to learn that Kevin Kline voiced Captain Phoebus here, but also Tulio from The Road to El Dorado, and Mr. Fischoeder in Bob's Burgers.) Claude Frollo was inspired by Ralph Fiennes' Amon Goeth in Schindler's List. It is currently the only Disney animated feature to have a major focus on religious faith. Many of the songs were adapted from Latin prayers.
