Dalai Lama honors Tintin (or at least Tintin's legacy)

That would be Tintin, the cartoon character. (Times Online, June 1, 2006, Amrit Dhillon reporting.)

Seriously. The Truth of Light Award has been awarded to the Hergé Foundation, named after Tintin's creator, for making a significant contribution to the public's understanding of Tibet.

Tintin in Tibet was first published in 1959.
