For everyone still guessing, this year marks the centenary of Herge's birth. To celebrate this important date for Belgian culture, a new cartoon was unveiled recently (10 January) at the Eurostar / Gare du Midi station in Brussels.Appropriately this cartoon mural shows Tintin sur la locomotive (on the steam engine train) following Bobby Smiles, a gangster from Chicago. A detailed photo can be seen here. The cartoon is taken from Tintin in America (1932). The date chosen for the unveiling? The actual birth of Tintin on 10 January 1929.
