I'm with Valkerone on this. His comedic tendencies in only one story are completely outmatched by the magnitude of his crimes throughout his history--particularly the fact that he ran a drug cartel in Cigars of the Paraoh and The Blue Lotus, where he drove several people opposing his operations insane and helped framed China for a terrorist attack on Japan, and the slave trading scheme he pulled in The Red Sea Sharks, which as far as I know is something no Tintin villain has done since. Hell, even during his more comedic depiction in Flight 714, he still planned to murder all of his henchmen once he had stolen Carreidas' fortune, which sort of helps negate the whole "too comedic to be PE" argument.
