Which are the books in which Snowy speaks ? I read "Black Gold" and Snowy speaks in it regularly, I thought he speaks in all stories. Jay 13:14, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
He can talk, the question is if any of the humans can understand him (I think not). --85.130.145.82 12:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I believe Tintin is the only one who can. --75.57.96.7 17:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
For you Tintin fans, here are two userboxes to set up for placement on your userpage.

I made the second box using a PD image I found in the commons. This is the best I could find, that of a mug of beer. I would have prefered whiskey, since Haddock loves to drown himself in it. If you have come across a better looking image or a non copyrighted image from a Tintin comic do point me towards it.
I think we should split Tintin and Snowy to Tintin and Snowy j@5h+u15y@n
But it's Tintin and Snowy and without one you can't have the other, besides a single Snowy article would be too small.
Ummm---so, is "Tintin" a nickname for "Martin?"—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]]) No I mean a pseudonym, a codename. Or it could be short for Martin. Or it could be just a random name that Hergé chose because it sounds catchy.
Can we find out why Snowy barks "Wooah" rather than "Woof" in the English editions? I've tried finding out but failed. Other dogs say "woof" such as in The Black Island. I wonder if a Belgian speaker can figure it out. --Robauz 01:40, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Aztually Henri Fourcat from the book Tintin and Alph-Art seemed to to somehow interested in meeting Tintin with a possibly romantic interest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.240.189.109 (talk) 16:42, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
That's his trademark bark. Dogs don't ever say "woof." They say "Wooah." And Captain Haddock has his own list of catchphrases. Why can't Snowy have his? 75.57.96.7 17:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
The previous description for this field read "Tintin is a renowned journalist and adventurer, Snowy his canine companion." This is a one line in-universe description of the characters, not their abilities. Consistent or notable abilities the two have exhibited I would think should belong here. Tintin's marksmanship is one (he warns some people he's holding up that he's a crack shot in one of books), I don't recall if Snowy has any outstanding abilities beyond what a dog is expected to be able to do.

Wow, someone NEEDS to add something about the racism in TINTINS comics, they were blatantly racist against the Jews in a time when the world did NOTHING to help us from the NAZIS!ZionistLionist (talk) 09:39, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
ZionistLionist, there is plenty of discussion on the racism in the Tintin comics in the article "the ideology of Tintin". This particular article is just about the characters of Tintin and Snowy and there is no evidence in any of the comics that they are anti-semitic. Besides, Hergé was forced to put in the anti-semitic stuff by the Nazis and so a lot of it was edited out in the later editions!
Really? Oh, ok, sorry! I just heard somewhere that he was forced into the whole anti-semitism stuff (the things you find out about some people though!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.23.159 (talk) 18:31, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Don't change the article itself, just the title. 75.57.110.28 (talk) 02:16, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

As Tintin fans may know, Hergé was raised a Catholic, although later there were various alterations to his outlook. Much about the character Tintin is deliberately obscured, his age, his family, his political party and so on. That includes his specific religion, which is largely irrelevant to his actions. However the religious background of the heroes shows many places in the books: Temple of the Sun -- reference to Haddock's "guardian angel", Tintin in Tibet and The Red Sea Sharks -- devilish and angelic versions of characters arguing morality, in Red Rackham's Treasure Haddock prays (in mockery, if nothing else), and knows the location of St. Peter's in Rome by longitude and latitude by heart. Also in Red Rackham's Treasure, Tintin knows that John the Baptist was called "The Eagle of Pathmos", and that he composed The Apocalypse there. That his religion is not Buddhist or Muslim is implied by Tintin's actions with characters who are. That he is not Jewish is implied, not only by Hergé's own goof trying to remove the "Jewish" name from The Shooting Star, and getting it wrong, but also the lack of Jewish symbols in Tintin books (whereas a Christian cross appears various places). Nor is there anything to suggest he was an atheist, a Hindu, a Taoist, etc.
This is not to go so far as to say even so much that Tintin was raised Catholic, but he understands Catholicism, and he treats it with at least the same understanding and tolerance he does other major religions. 24.130.12.229 (talk) 04:36, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Why does Tintin's profile have Alter ego and Abilities sections? He's not a DC/Marvel style superhero.Zainker (talk) 21:45, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
I'll assume there was some sort of comprehensive discussion about this already, leading to the current format, but I cannot be arsed to trawl through the archives and need to ask here: why is the article entitled "Tintin and Snowy"? It seems a bit silly to me. I'm a big Tintin fan and I don't see it as a serial documenting the adventures of Tintin AND SNOWY... It's Tintin. Herge's adventures of Tintin!
Sure, Snowy's an ever-present, but there's enough info for a separate article on him at least. I really doubt whether any other encyclopaedia (written by actual lexicographers) would entitle the article in this way. The main reason for this is public referral, i.e. what do you call this comic serial when you casually talk about it with others? Yeah, just Tintin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.99.63 (talk) 10:10, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
