Christmas with Tintin

Christmas was a source of great inspiration for Hergé. One of Hergé's oldest illustrations on this theme can be found in a story, Noël chouan, which appeared on 25 December 1927. Numerous covers of Le Petit Vingtième were devoted to Christmas as was also the case later in Tintin Magazine, published from 1946 until 1993.

The picture was later further colour enhanced.


Thompson and Thomson were introduced in Cigars of the Pharaoh (1934). Haddock first appeared in The Crab with the Golden Claw (1941) and Calculus made his debut in Red Rackham’s Treasure (1943).


The Christmas colour print was also used in a 2016 TV Documentary entitled Hergé: In the Shadow of Tintin (original title: Hergé à l'ombre de Tintin), directed by Hugues Nancy. (link here.)

The Olympic Games Paris 2024 will be the first time in the Olympic Games history that breakdancing will be included in the competition. Breaking is a dance competition in which a DJ plays improvised music, and the judges evaluate dancers for their technical skills, expressiveness, and composition. 



Technics will support the breaking competition at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 as the official DJ turntable to provide music for the dancers.


As a TOP partner of the Olympic Games, Panasonic collaborated with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 to confirm the operation of the equipment. The company is steadily preparing for support during the Paris 2024.



The Panasonic Group has supported the Olympic Games for over 30 years. At the Olympic Games Paris 2024, it will continue its support of the Olympic Games through various technologies, products, and solutions, such as projectors and sound equipment, to share the passion and excitement of the world's greatest sporting event with people around the world and contribute to the Olympic Movement.
