Reply to comment by WilcoHistBuff in TIL over the course of his 23 published adventures, Herge's Tintin was knocked unconscious 43 times. Between 1929 and 1973, he was hit with a rake, a brick, a whisky bottle, an oar, a giant apple, a camel femur, a block of ice, and countless punches and clubs. by morerubberstamps

Maybe Tintin just kept buying new identical-looking fox terriers and naming them Snowy/Milou, just like the Simpson family's Snowball cats numbers I to V.

That would explain his move from dark cynic to happy go lucky over the years.

But I prefer to think of him as eternal.
