ITHACA, New York - A photograph was released this afternoon to confirm that Tintin's semi-faithful canine companion, Snowy [or "Milo" if you're in Japan; "Milou" in France, Finland, Greece, Luxemburg, Sweden, Iran or Vietnam; "Milu" in Spain, Basque, Portugal, Corsica, Hungary, Italy, Serbia, Croatia; "Miluo" in Esperanto; "Milus" in Poland; "Melok" in Russia; "Bobbie" in the Netherlands; "Boncuk" in Turkey; "Katrina" in Bavaria; just "Snow" in Slovakia; "Spokie" in most of Africa; "Struppi" in Germany; "Terry" in Denmark or Norway; "Tobbi" in Iceland; or "Smwtyn" in Gaelic Ireland] is dead.
The speculation over the years about the dog's whereabouts following the death of Tintin creator Herge almost matched the amount devoted to aide de camp/"mistress"/gold-digger Erin Fleming following the death of Groucho Marx. An investigation into the time and cause of the dog's death was still in progress at press time.
