Why Tintin does not grow older
Conclusions We hypothesize that Tintin has growth hormone deficiency and
hypogonadotropic hypogonadism from repeated trauma. This could explain his
delayed statural growth, delayed onset of puberty and lack of libido.
We also believe that involving children in research (the first 2 authors) is
possible and beneficial. As a result, A.C. learned to count to 10 with good
interobserver reliability and now knows the meaning of the expression ―tomber
dans les pommes.‖
The main limitation of our article is the lack of paraclinical confirmation of the
diagnosis. But, according to the second author (L.O.C.), ―That's alright.‖
To conclude, it is difficult to determine accurately Tintin's age and level of
physical and sexual development. He has the physique of a child, but his
conduct suggests that of an adult. Throughout his adventures, he has no
girlfriend or marriage plans to curtail his activities. His ―neutrality‖ allows both
children and adults around the world to identify with this hero, which probably
explains his universal appeal after 75 years of public life.
