And Nea, thanks for the recommendations, I will check those out too!
I hope they don't disappoint. Not sure if you know about this one, but another comic I was going to mention was Bloom County, just for Opus and Bill the Cat.

Anyway, here's a straightforward intro that will bring you up to speed if you are interested:-

I don't know how good the movie is or the motivation behind Spielberg decision to make it. I just imagine he had enough money and clout to make anything he wants. So I wonder if he doing it cause he knows there is a market for it, or cause TinTin meant something to him.

The one thing I remember from watching that video was how Thompson Twins came up with their name. Since it's obvious the three of them are not twins, and none of them have the last name of Thompson. They name themselves after "the incompetence detectives, Thompson and Thompson."
