Tintin and The Picaros

Tintin and the Picaros (French: Tintin et les Picaros) is the twenty-third of The Adventures of Tintin, the series of comic albums written and illustrated by Belgian artist Hergé, featuring young reporter Tintin as the hero. Smelling a rat, Tintin at first refuses to become part of this new adventure, in which his friends Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus join General Alcazar and his small band of guerrillas, the Picaros, in the jungle of San Theodoros.

One of the last of Hergé's adventures, several of the characters have undergone notable changes: Tintin no longer enjoys adventuring and has abandoned his trademark plus fours, Captain Haddock can no longer drink alcohol, and General Alcazar's masculinity is ridiculed by his new domineering wife.
