This is from Tintin’s Tibet album, serialised in the late 50’s.
Me, I love this scene, because it’s so ‘anti-Tintin’ in the traditional sense, in that he always strives to be so polite and genteel.
Digging further in to the album, however, I find it fascinating how author George Remi constructed this major episode as a sort of love-letter to a beloved Chinese friend of his from decades before. (see WP entry for more)

I love how professeur Tournesol is totally oblivious.
