Happy poisson d’avril!

France has a very cute tradition: As an April joke they stick paper fishes on someones back. It’s especially popular among kids who stick these fishes on their parents or teachers.

Tintin offhandedly mentions to Haddock the tradition of sticking paper fishes on people’s back for April fools, not thinking anything of it in the moment and immediately forgetting all about it

Then April 1st comes along and suddenly Tintin can't go more than 15 minutes without finding a fish on the back of his sweater no matter what kind of precautions he takes. By the afternoon he gives up and escapes to the village, where he's immediately chased by all the village kids holding paper fishes

He eventually returns to Marlinspike with fishes stuck all over his body and refuses to speak to Haddock—who's too busy laughing at him to care—for the rest of the evening

Despite being a kitty-clown, I'm sure that's the only thing he could think of...

Not AI. Not an April Fool's Day joke (exactly). These are real old French postcards.

Poisson D’Avril!

It’s April Fools’ Day, and you know I can’t resist the chance to make some quirky holiday art! They call it Poisson D’Avril, or ‘April Fish’ in France. No now knows exactly why, but I won’t complain about a reason to illustrate! I chose a European Sturgeon for this piece because they’re a very important and critically endangered species. Here are some facts about them:

- They are the rarest sturgeon in the world.

- One single wild population exists in the Garonne and Dordogne rivers in France, but in former times they’ve been documented in many other places including the Atlantic, the English Channel, the Mediterranean, and the Black Sea.

- Globally 85% of sturgeon species are threatened with extinction, rendering them the most endangered species group in the world, according to IUCN.

- They are diadromous, meaning they live in fresh AND salt waters!

- They can live to be over 100 years old, grow up to 16 feet long, and weigh up to 770 pounds!

- Today sturgeons are referred to as living dinosaurs as their lineage dates back to over 200 million years ago!
