6. The Broken Ear (1935–1937)
The Broken Ear (French: L'Oreille cassée) is the sixth of The Adventures of Tintin. First serialized in Le Petit Vingtième from 1935 to 1937, and first collected in book form in French in 1937, it later appeared in colour in 1943.
The story begins when a fetish which originally belonged to a tribe of South American Indians is stolen from the Museum of Ethnography in the town where Tintin lives. The following day it is back in the museum, along with a note apologizing for the inconvenience caused, saying that the reason had been a bet. Tintin, who is among the reporters looking into the story, realizes that the replacement is a fake, the distinction being an ear broken on the original but intact on the replacement.
