background
Freddy Lombard is very similar to Tintin from Tintin . The reason is probably that the commissioning publisher Le Lombard , which also gives the character its name, was the publisher of the Tintin magazine , in which Tintin adventures appeared.
In addition, the series is drawn in the so-called atomic style, a modification of the Ligne claire (e.g. Tim and Struppi by Hergé). The atomic style is visually limited to the 1950s.
