An examination of a famous illustrated character.

I thought this book was interesting, but very brief.

Reading time around twenty minutes.

Brief and slight examination of Tintin's dog Snowy with scattered pictures from Hergé's books and rough sketches. The text is well-written, the book is nicely laid out and Egmont have done a lovely job, as they do with the 'proper' Tintin books, but even so, this isn't about much really. 3/5

Milo adalah anjing jenis fox-terrier warna putih polos. Nama Milo diambil dari nama sapaan mantan pacar Herge yang bernama Marie Louise Van Custem. Sebetulnya Herge pecinta kucing siam dan malah gak pernah miara anjing. Tapi untuk mendukung karakter Tintin, dipilihlah anjing sebagai teman seperjuangan. Kita tahu anjing teman paling setia bagi manusia. Selain itu secara fisik, anjing lebih kuat, lebih menyeramkan, dan lebih tangguh dibandingkan dengan kucing. Dengan gigitan dan cakarannya yang lebih kuat, anjing bisa mengalahkan musuhnya dengan mudah.

==========================================================

Buku aslinya bertitel Snowy, nama terjemahan Inggris yang terasa lebih familiar buatku dibandingkan nama asli Prancis dari anjing fox-terrier putih salju ini. Barangkali karena Tintin terbitan GPU menggunakan nama versi Prancis, judulnya disesuaikan deh.

Milo... atau saya lebih suka menyebutnya Snowy karena lebih terbiasa, memang anjing cerewet yang setiaaa banget pada Tintin. Tapi, Herge ternyata baru memelihara anjing pada bulan2 terakhir hidupnya. Itu pun istrinya yang membeli. Iya, karena Herge tuh sebenarnya pencinta kucing.

Kata Herge, kalau dia bisa bereinkarnasi, dia berharap dilahirkan kembali sebagai kucing Siam yang tinggal di rumah keluarga penyayang kucing :)

Really fun look into Snowy's life and where the ideas came for this wonderful pet in the famous Tintin series! If you're a fan or know a fan of Tintin but in particular they like Snowy this book is a treat to read.

It's always nice to know the background of one of my favorite characters. Tintin has always been a favorite of mine and my dad.
