Ugly Popeye and ugly Tintin. In the US specifically. A lot of these public domain announcements tend to be a bit too vague.
Yeah I’m guessing you can retell “in the land of the soviets” if you wanted and use Tintin’s design from those first strips, but every other story is likely still off-limits. Would have to be a completely original story using the character.
And some of the favorites like Captain Haddock, etc, weren’t in Soviets.
Yeah, you still have to wait over a decade to use him in the US, which is a pretty big deal.
You do get to use Tintin with an all-new look as long as you don't use the newer blue sweater and long coat design, though.
