The rocket taking off.
Eager to find out what happened next, Lisa turned the page and accidentally tore it, to her mortification. She immediately apologized to Milo the store owner.

Behind the Laughter
- Tintin in Paris is not a real Tintin comic, but is a pastiche of real Tintin comics as follows:
- The book's cover picture is a re-working of the cover of Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, with Tintin and Snowy in slightly different poses and Moscow's skyline substituted for Paris's.
- The castle is from The Black Island.
- The rocket is from Destination Moon.
- Real-life Tintin comics seen on the shelf as Lisa reads include:
- Tintin in Tibet
- Cigars of the Pharaoh
- Tintin in the Land of the Soviets
- The Shooting Star
- The Crab with the Golden Claws
