I didn't read the comics, only watched the cartoons when I was younger. I always thought Tin-tin was meant to be about 17-19 years old, not a fully grown adult but not a child - old enough to fall into the things he gets involved in off his own back. Is he older in the comics? I just assumed he was an older teenager.

from same article

" A 1979 television interview with Hergé settled the matter, when Hergé stated that when he first thought about Tintin he was 14 or 15 years old, "but now, let's say that he is 17."
