Dame Bang-Bangs celebrates a 20th wedding anniversary with a donation. The hosts address listener feedback regarding the historical popularity of Tintin comics in the United States. Additional donations from Jason Kretschmann and Don Vial are processed, with several names added to the show's birthday list.

An original 1936 Tintin cover illustration by Hergé sold at auction in Paris for an estimated 2.8 million euros.
