Puzzle Description:
Milou, the dog from the Belgian Comic "Les aventures de Tintin" from Hergé. Hope it is known in the States.

I hadn't heard of him. Nice puzzle, though.#2: Matie (reanimatie) on Jan 21, 2010 [HINT] [SPOILER]
He's called "Snowy" in the English translation. I loved those books as a kid.#3: Claudia (clau_bolson) on Jan 21, 2010
It is well known here in Argentina.#4: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jan 22, 2010 [SPOILER]
I had never heard of him, but I love the puzzle! It was fun to solve and watch his image materialize.#5: Jane Doe (telly) on Jan 22, 2010

nice solve. he's cute, though, I too hadn't heard of him.#6: Scott (mikelz777) on Jan 22, 2010 [SPOILER]
Nice job. I love all the Tintin comic books. I don't know if it's a translation thing or what but Milou is known as "Snowy" in the USA.#7: Serge (zg) on Jan 22, 2010 [SPOILER]
Why does it look so sad? No more whisky? Was #7636 captured?#8: sanane samanye (maceraseven) on Jan 24, 2010
Terrible ! (-> en: 'Terrific!')
Merci ! (-> en: 'Thanks!' )
Easy to identify for the French but not that easy to solve. An great puzzle!
Answer to #6: Milou is no translation of 'snowy' (snowy is 'neigeux' in French). From what I know, Milou is nothing but the short of the first name 'Émile' (see Louis Malle's movie "Milou en mai"). If anyone has other meanings, feel free...
Belgian 'Comics' authors are definitively great: André Franquin, François Schuiten, Daniel Hulet... and likely many more ;o)
Thanks again!
he is called findik (hazelnut) in turkish. i am expecting the other characters from the serie, especially the one with the beard#9: Kai-Uwe Zickerick (conzick) on Jan 24, 2010

wonderful#11: Lilly Johns (LJohns315) on Jun 10, 2011 [SPOILER]
I read one of the Tintin books. I didn't know it had Belgian origins. Good puzzle!#12: Diana W (aeris) on Nov 25, 2011 [SPOILER]
I love the Tintin books, and I recognized Snowy early on. I believe that they're coming out with a Tintin movie soon. Great image and choice of subject!#13: Kai-Uwe Zickerick (conzick) on Nov 26, 2011
thank you, Diana!
