23. Tintin and the Picaros (1976)


Tintin et les Picaros is the twenty-third and final completed book in the series. It caused the most controversy of the Tintin stories since the first two (Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and Tintin in the Congo), although the controversies were aesthetic rather than political: Tintin no longer enjoys adventuring and has abandoned his trademark plus fours; Captain Haddock can no longer drink the Loch Lomond brand whisky; and General Alcazar's masculinity is ridiculed by his new dominant wife.
