The apparent sexlessness of the character, who does not display encounters romantic or sexual interest of any kind at any point in the course of Hergé's canonical works, has been the subject of much critical attention. In the author's commentary for ''[[Misunderstandings (short story)|Misunderstandings]]'', [[Scott Sanford]] elaborated: “Oh, yeah, him. For some reason it strikes me as hilarious to imagine Jenny Everywhere hitting on the Belgian kid with the goofy cowlick and getting nowhere. I envision her as getting progressively less subtle about her interests and him remaining clueless… I’d never be able to write it, but I like that I’m able to slip this in as a thing that happened to her already”. | [[File:Tintin.png|thumb|right|Tintin as he appears in the 1964 television adaption of {{w|The Calculus Affair|''The Calculus Affair''}}.]]The character is evidently meant to be {{w|Tintin|Tintin}}, the eminently copyrighted protagonist of Hergé's 20th century comic series ''{{w|The Adventures of Tintin|The Adventures of Tintin}}'' and its various adaptions and spin-offs.

In the real world, Tintin was used as a point of comparison for [[Jenny Everywhere]] herself when the character concept was first unveiled on the [[Barbelith]] forum, with Jenny being described as “like if Tintin listened to Le Tigre and joined the Fantastic Four” by [[Steven Wintle]]. | In the real world, Tintin was used as a point of comparison for [[Jenny Everywhere]] herself when the character concept was first unveiled on the [[Barbelith]] forum, with Jenny being described as “like if Tintin listened to Le Tigre and joined the Fantastic Four” by [[Steven Wintle]]. Aware of this early influence, [[Jack Harvey]] consciously drew from the ''Adventures of Tintin'', and particularly action scenes featuring trains, for [[COMIC]]: ''[[Rail Shift (comic story)|Rail Shift]]'', as he noted in his author's comments for that story. | ||
