Nr.	Title	As I read it	Page	Error	Picture
1	Tintin in the Congo	Kuifje in Afrika	3	The knife in the glass cupboard, on the second shelf becomes a pair of scissors.
			5-8	Bobby (Snowy) jumps out of the window with his tail in a band-aid, and that disappears as soon as he hits the water. It only returns when Bobby is on the ship again. (credits-1)
			11	Even at that time £1000 is a lot less than $5000, so I wonder why he even bothered to offer it. (credits-1)
			13	Kuifje drops his gun, and that becomes invisible until he needs it again.
			34	There are no Boas in Africa, they live in South-America.  (credits-1)
			44-45	The padre throws a rock with a rope across the river. Then how did he get the second rope there?
2	Tintin in America	Kuifje in Amerika	3	A boomerang is supposed to return, true, but that doesn't happen after it hit something.  (credits-13)
			6	It seems as if Pietro's beginning beard is temporarily shaven.  (credits-13)
			11	The GSC-member pretending to be a policeman lost his star.  (credits-13)
			17	The pitchfork next to the door wasn't there only a frame ago.  (credits-13)
			17	His fashionable bullet-belt is gone. But it will return, don't worry.
			19	The Indian's belt has changed colour.  (credits-13)
			21	Snowy hides in a cactus, and the painful evidence is all over him: he even has thorns in his nose.  Who took them out?  (credits-13)
			24	The ridge is, judging by Tintin's feet, about 2-4 feet wide.  But it widens on every frame.  (credits-13)
			26	Kuifje takes the food of Bobby Smiles. Both him and Snowy enjoy it. Then where did the giant bone come from? There was only the small pot, and it could never have been in there.
			32	Slim and his friend swap places, and promptly loose their box with dynamite!  (credits-13)
			35	Where are all his things while he is sleeping?
			35	The policeman has one purple glove.  (credits-13)
			36	The cowboy gets a new hat.  (credits-1)
			35-37	They have taken his gun-holders, but on p.37 he gets them back, empty of course, while he is being lynched.
			50	There is a shield and a second armor standing there. But only once, then they are gone forever.
			52	What happened to the chair?  (credits-13)
			53-54	Tom's breast-pocket handkerchief seems to come and go all the time.  (credits-13)
3	Cigars of the Pharaoh	De Sigaren van de Farao	7-8	The mummy next to the one from E.P. Jacobin (E.P. Jacobs, the original author of Blake and Mortimer) has lost its beard. (credits-1)
			15	This hasn't happened yet... Then how can he have the album?(credits-1)
			16-17	Bobbie chases the bandit, but doesn't leave Kuifje, but has managed to tear a piece of cloth from the bandit's clothes..? (credits-1)
			23	Kuifje drops the flask, drops to the ground hiding behind a rock, and only when the flask is hit he has the strap under his elbow. (credits-1)
			30	Kuifje is in uniform in the house, but he leaves it in his own clothes - only seconds later, after he has been hiding. One must admit: he's fast! (credits-1)
			32-33	The front window of the plane has a different shape.
			33	During the crash, and only then, the plane has an extra window.
4	The Blue Lotus	De Blauwe Lotus	7	The beige gloves are now green.
			17	Kuifje's tie is red in the whole story, except on p. 17. (credits-1)
			24	The door has 11, then 12, then 10 rows of dots as decoration.
			36-44	The map behind Dawson changes. Look at the park in the lower left for example. (credits-1)
			42-44	Due to a flood the train cannot go any further. A walk takes 3 hours, but Tsjang knows a shortcut. That makes them arrive... the next day? (credits-1)
			47	The left and right feet of the lion-statues are swapped. (credits-1)
			19-54	The sign next to the front door of the Blue Lotus has a different text. (credits-1)
			57	Rastapopoulos looses his ring on his right hand. (credits-1)
5	The Broken Ear	Het Gebroken Oor	1	Kuifje gets up at 7:30, when apparently the museum's keeper begins his day. However, on p. 2 we learn the theft was discovered at 7:14. (credits-1)
			4-9	Some items disappear. OK, a cup is maybe for cleaning, but there is also a lamp, a triangle, and was it maybe the parrot that removed the bust? (credits-1)
			19	Tyrant is tirano, in Spanish. With an "i", not a "y", as it is written on the wall. (credits-1)
			23-28	Two different chess-boards? To play it correctly, the left bottom square should be black. (credits-1)
			27	The accent is gone. Don't worry, it will return. Maybe just the result of the lightning ;-) (credits-1)
			32	Bananas grow up, not down.  Common mistake... (credits-1)
6	The black island	De zwarte rotsen	6	While totally unexpectedly being swept into the air, one of them manages to turn his cane upside down. (credits-1)
			13-23	The house is burnt down, but nevertheless someone took the time to paint the column of the gate. (credits-1)
			21	Captain Harry bumps into his wife and his helmet hits her right cheek - but she holds her left cheek in pain. (credits-1)
			52-53	Wronzoff, though KO, seems to move his feet. (credits-1)
7	King Ottokar's Sceptre	De scepter van Ottokar	3	The picture is taken when Kuifje is at the top of the stairs. But on the picture he's half-way? (credits-1)
			3	The door opened to the other side at first.
			6	Next to Kuifje there is a chair. And then not. And then again. (credits-1)
			7	According to the encyclopedia Syldavië was conquered by the Bordurians in the XIth century, but the brochure on p. teaches us it was in 1195, or the XIIth century. (credits-1)
			13	At first he didn't hold his cane in his right hand.
			12-15	Cleaning up after an explosion, sure, but adding furniture? (credits-1)
			30-41	Odd things happen to the fresco. On p. 30 we see 5 people, and on p. 41 there are 6 pairs of feet... (credits-1)
8	The crab with the golden claws	De krab met de gulden scharen	2	The word "Krab" is on the tin, and not.
			2	The Janssens each have a glass of beer of which clearly some has been drunk, then one fills all by itself, and then the other. (credits-1)
			4	No more hat-rack...
			8	A phone on which you can dial only 9 digits?
			39-41	The fruit-seller has the blue door behind him when Haddock runs him over. Then how can he sit there before the door? (credits-1)
9	The Shooting Star	De geheimzinnige ster	1-2	The phone seems to be standing on the table, that explains the variable length of Kuifje. One could see it as a different framing, like in a movie. But in any way it doesn't explain how Bobby's head is at that height.
			3	The doorbell disappears, and a vertical line on the door is missing. (credits-1)
			4	This is optically impossible, due to the extremely long focal distance of a telescope. Anything on the lens, or even within several meters, is not visible. (credits-4)
			7	The problem of the melting asphalt is solved quickly, and even both Kuifje's shoes and Bobby's feet are cleaned immediately.
			11-12	So, the "fireball" missed the Earth by 45,000 km, yet it caused an earthquake by falling onto it?
			21	Captain Haddock is demoted - and promoted again - very quickly. Look at his cuffs. (credits-1)
			23-24 26-33 37-41	The flag is supposed to be green, from the EFWO. But on five occasions a flag resembling the Belgian flag pops up. (credits-1 - and I added the others)
10	The Secret of the Unicorn	Het geheim van de Eenhoorn	2	They could have never picked up a suitcase that way.
			6-14	Haddock's door opens to the left. Or to the right. (credits-1)
			7-58	Sacharin's door was yellow, and with a handle. But on p. 58 it's blue, without the handle. (credits-1)
			8	The phone-booth is, from a driver's perspective, at the left side on the street (look at the door). But while Kuifje is waiting, the booth is at the right side of the street. (credits-1)
			16	"Duizend bommem" should be " duizend bommen".
			18-19	Certain aspects of the Unicorn change quite dramatically. Look at the position of the lamps during the fight on p.19: they seem to indicate that the fight is on the rear end of the ship. But between any mast and the lanterns there should be a few stairs... (credits-1)
			23	"Krrakvis" should be "kraakvis"
			31-56	The license-plate on the front of the car is missing. (credits-1)
			38-40	The beam seems rather heavy. Let's estimate that it is 0.25x0.25x2.5m. Let's presume it is oak, and has a specific gravity of 0,8 kg/l. That would make it about 120 kg. How can Kuifje lift that off the ground? He would be pulling himself up in the air... (credits-1)
			41-44	The spear is gone. (credits-1)
			42	No, this is not a glove, someone forgot to color the hand. (credits-1)
			43	The abacus has 4x5=20 red balls. There are however 25 red ones on the picture.
			52	Nestor is really fast: in the blink of an eye he shifts the position of his hands. No wonder he didn't manage to hit hard enough. (credits-1)
			53-54	Bobby (Milou) made a real quick wash. (credits-1)
			54-55	G. Vogels is lying at least half on the lawn, wearing blue trousers. On the next page, he's almost entirely on the path, wearing brown trousers. And it cannot be Maximus, he has escaped. (credits-1)
			58-59	Aristide Rapier's door opens to the right. Or to the left. (credits-1)
			59-60	The room where Rapier keeps his collection has no door. And then it has one. (credits-1)
11	Red Rackham's Adventure	De schat van Scharlaken Rackham	3-4	What happened to the man who was already in the appartment? (credits-1)
			4	The bell has disappeared. (credits-1)
			5	Kuifje's hand is yellow. And not because he's wearing a glove.
			12	While the match is burning in his right hand, Haddock manages to put the matches away and take his pipe in his left hand. (credits-1)
			23	Kuifje recognises the mistake they made - but replaces it with another one: the meridian of Paris was used only in the XIXth century, two centuries after Hadoque lived. (credits-1)
			40	The chain holding the lead on Kuifje's back is gone.
			51	Kuifje's sleeves are no longer rolled up, but just for once. (credits-1)
			52	What happened to all the earth they dug out? (credits-1)
			61	The island they visited is on 70º West. Right on a degree of longitude. Why would a globe be divided per 70º and not per 60? Per 70 would never bring you to 180º, there would be a "slice" of 40º somewhere, which would not be too aesthetical. Then there is a degree of latitude through Spain, at about 40º. Again, why 40 and not 45, to end up nicely at 90 (the poles)? And if the island is at 20º North, it should be halfway the equator and that degree. (credits-1)
12	The 7 crystal balls	De 7 kristallen bollen	3	First there are 9 steps, then 8 on the stairs.
			10	An extra knife, above the Indian's head. Before Alcazar/Ramon Zarate has thrown it. (credits-1)
			12	Yamilah has a tanned skin-color, but not on her legs. (credits-1)
			13	Look at how the color of the picture at the upper left corner of the mirror disappears.
			22	The postman has black shoes, then brown ones. (credits-1)
			23	The birds, though they are stuffed specimen, seem to wander around in their cupboard. (credits-1)
			25	The decorations on the pillar differ.
			28	The big tree next to the house is gone. (credits-1)
			29	The diagonals on the shutters are opposite.
			30-31	There is something odd with the chairs. Though they are clearly matching, the decorations differ (look at the legs), and some have armrests and some not, and one has even only one armrest.
			37	The rope, and later Kuifje, seem to clean themselves remarkably easy from the soot. (credits-1)
			39	The physician suddenly wears a waistcoat underneath his jacket. (credits-1)
			41	The captain has lost his eyeglass. (credits-1)
			48	The phone can only dial 9 digits.
			54	On a rainbow violet is on the "inside", and red on the "outside". (credits-1)
13	Prisoners of the sun	De zonnetempel	1	The map of Peru is not correct, Peru lacks a northern part, and caused Hergé some problems. Read Discover Tintin for more details. (credits-1)
			3	Callao lies at the sea, far from mountains... (credits-1)
			9	The phone can dial first 10, then 9 digits.
			15	The laws of physics don't allow this. If you jump off of a moving object, you keep on moving forward while falling down. So Kuifje should have jumped before he was on the bridge, or he should have landed beyond the river. (credits-1)
			58-59	During an eclipse on the northern hemisphere the moon would pass in front of the sun in this direction. But this eclipse is on the southern hemisphere. (credits-1) - image source: Discover Tintin
15	Destination moon	Raket naar de maan	1-2	On p. 1 the post is standing next to the first step of the stairs, on p.2 it's standing in front of it.
			2-3	The tail of the plane has a red line at the back, later in front as well. And the yellow on the engines is gone.
			27	The rocket has 5 "layers" of red and white squares, except here, where there are 6.
			50-51	Bobbie is at the meeting, where Zonnebloem says that Bobbie is taking part right now in the testing of his space-suit. (credits-1)
			55-56	Seen from behind, Haddock is sitting at the left. But seen from inside the car Haddock is on the right. (credits-1)
16	Explorers on the moon	Mannen op de maan	2	Haddock has always had nr. 56 on his chest-pocket. (credits-1)
			3	The badge in Janssen's chest-pocket should be red.
			4	There is, throughout the entire book, not a single cloud in the sky on the entire Earth. (credits-1)
			7	Kuifje has always had nr. 57 on his chest-pocket. Haddock has 56. (credits-1)
			9	The coloring of the rocket is not correct. Look at the position of the red squares relative to the stabilizer. This happens throughout the book. (credits-1)
			11	Why is there a ladder above the door? (credits-1)
			12	Kuifje is wearing his boots, yet in one frame he has his traditional white socks. (credits-1)
			14	Kuifje has given the scissors to Haddock. But he still holds them. (credits-1)
			16	Badge problems for Zonnebloem (Calculus): first there is no number on it, then there is no badge. (credits-1)
			17	This movement is correct, except for one detail: if the side-engine is stopped, the rocket would keep on rotating forever, unless an equally strong side-engine would function for an equally long time. (credits-1)
			19	Since his escapade in space Haddock hadn't been wearing his uniform, except here. (credits-1)
			33	The pickaxe on the side of the vehicle is gone. (credits-1)
			45	Kuifje stopped the engines at 2:05. The others came in immediately and started questioning Wolff. Yet the clock says it's 10:00 while they are talking, only minutes later... (credits-1)
17	The Calculus affair	De zaak Zonnebloem	13	When did this happen? Liberation Dimanche indicates Sunday, but the Hamburger Tages? is from "dienstag" (=Tuesday).
			15	The text on the side of the package of cigarettes is in Cyrillic and means "ZIGARETTES". One mistake though, in Cyrillic there is no "N", it should be mirrored. (credits-2)
			20	The taxi-driver wears a grey jacket before he drives into the lake, and comes out of it with a brows jacket. (credits-1)
			25	"Last thursday" claims Kuifje (Tintin). But the newspapers that brought this story two days after it happened are either from Sunday (Liberation Dimanche) or Tuesday (see error on p. 13) (credits-1)
			26	Captain Haddock caught the bottle, but who caught the falling glasses? (credits-1)
			28	They were both wearng earrings in both ears - but one is lost already. (credits-1)
			30	They were running on a pier. But in the next frame they are still on the grass. (credits-1)
			31-32	Bobby (Snowy/Milou) is playing tricks with the handle of the umbrella: up, down, up, .... (credits-1)
			32	The bandage Haddock had on his finger since the explosion disappears. (credits-1)
			47	How exactly is Zsnôrr/Sznôrr spelled?
			49	Himmerszeck has no napkin around his neck. Which is odd, since he did just before and immediately after this. (credits-1)
			53-54	Castafiore has two rings on her right hand. Or three. Or two, but on other fingers. Or.. (credits-1)
			54	The accent on the "O" is gone on the green playbill behind the colonel
			60	The professor seems to be talking to himself about himself. I guess Haddock really says this. (credits-1)
18	The Red Sea sharks	Cokes in voorraad	6	Haddock wasn't smoking his pipe, so Abdullah couldn't have shot it out of his mouth. (credits-1)
			14	The road had nice borders at first... (credits-1)
			16	There were only four people sitting between Haddock and the back of the plane, but when he stumbles a fifth is there.
			52	His right foot was tangled in the wire, but after he fell it's at his left foot. (credits-1)
			56	The deice was blocked on "half speed". But a second later it's on "full speed". (credits-1)
20	The Castafiore Emerald	De juwelen van Bianca Castafiore	1-20	The setting is in May, but then Zonnebloem manages something extraordinary, since roses come into bloom during the month of June. (credits-1)
			24	Biological error: wasps don't leave their sting behind, so Castafiore couldn't have removed it either. (credits-1)
			41-44	The stairs seems to have a variable number of steps. Knowing that the broken one is the fourth, on p. 41 there are 14 steps, on p. 44 there are 16. (credits-1)
21	Flight 714	Vlucht 714	10	What happened to Haddock's jacket?
			10	The orange pillow seems to be going from one side of the bench to another. (credits-1)
			20	Rastapopoulos' ring is gone.
			22	Tintin's collar was a mess after the struggle on p.19, and now all of a sudden it straightened out. While everybody's hands were tied, including Tintin's. (credits-1)
			48	Allan's bracelet used to be on his right wrist, he had a watch on his left. (credits-1)
22	Tintin and the Picaros	Kuifje en de Picaro's	6	The story plays in February, maybe it started in the end of January.  A month with 30 days is therefore in the future. (credits-1)
			12	This is the only time colonel Alvarez has 4 stars on his collar, otherwise there are only 3.
23	Tintin and the Alph'art	Kuifje en de Alfa-kunst	62	"geschilder" should be "geschilderd"
