Appearances in Tintin
Like Hergé and Jacobs, Van Melkebeke makes a few cameo appearances in the Tintin stories: on page 1, panel 1 of the colour version of Tintin in the Congo as one of the reporters seeing Tintin off; on page 59, panel 6 of King Ottokar's Sceptre when Tintin is about to be knighted; on page 2, panel 14 of The Secret of the Unicorn, where he is examining a painting as a man calls out that his briefcase is being stolen; and on page 57 of The Seven Crystal Balls in the background when general Alcazar is boarding the steamer on the harbour of Saint-Nazaire.

Famous quotes containing the word appearances:
“What I often forget about students, especially undergraduates, is that surface appearances are misleading. Most of them are at base as conventional as Presbyterian deacons.”
—Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)
