It's a European cartoon character:

Spielberg did a film adaptation in 2011:

Okay, thanks to everyone who pointed that out. I've never heard of it

I've never seen a Tin Tin comic or animated adaptation. It's
just part of the "white knowledge" I've acquired by being an
omnivorous reader.

Hergé was Belgian and the Kuifje (Tintin) comic strips were part of
growing up in the Netherlands. As were the "Suske en Wiske"* comic
strips by Willy Vandersteen.

*published in English as Spike and Suzy, Luke and Lucy, Willy and
Wanda or Bob and Bobette

I was aware of Tintin, but not the ones you just mentioned.
I grew up with Oor Wullie, Dangerous Dan, and The Broons.

One grandfather had thinning hair, the other pattern baldness. My
dad had mostly thinning hair with pattern developing when he died
at 46.

And my brother had the worst of both by 45 years old while I have
always had a full head of brown hair. I have salt & pepper on the
face and a little bit up the sideburn, but that's it.

And I shave it ALL off in about March (and I may have done it once
more this year since it was so fucking hot). It's only been in
the last 40 days I even comb my hair MAYBE once a day. And today
was the first day I looked for a comb for my back pocket before I
left the house (but couldn't find one).

If I were let it grow until August of next year, I'd look like
this again:

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/26177241553840430/

Just add hair on the chest and real nipples.

I always make a point to gather up all my 'winter hair' when
shaved off in March and take a picture and email it to my brother.
