Funny looking characters, they look like they're running away from something scary in slow-motion. --mlynn

Hey Kelly, sorry I forgot to add my name earlier .. :)

These are comic book 'heroes' Tintin and Captain Haddock (of 'The Adventures of Tintin' comic book series fame). The photo was taken in the Comic Strip museum in Brussels, Belgium. In this exhibit at the museum, they are shown returning from Moon after completing their adventure. The creator of Tintin is Hergé, a Belgian artist whose real name is George Remi.

The lighting is as is from the museum.
