How did Tintin's odd appearance come about?

Published in Daily Trivia
The unusual physical appearance of Tintin was apparently inspired, at least in part, by Herge's youngest brother Paul Remi, a career soldier. Herge later became estranged from his brother and depicted him as the villainous Colonel Sponsz in The Calculus Affair. Tintin and Sponsz, although physically very different, have quite similar hair spikes.
