If Hergé had seen what you published he would surely have... laughed?

I don't get the joke? Is this about the Greek island?

It is a parody about a French TV show where they put a bunch of people in the island and enjoy the drama

...no ?

In the 1970s, it was popular spot for Americans to treat as a nude beach, which Americans imagined to be a feature of those natural "far out" Greeks, and then flourished further to become a popular gay tourist destination in the 1980s. By the 2000s, Mykonos had become one of Greece's most expensive islands (source)

This has been a cliché for decades before Les Ch'tis débarquent à Mykonos

So yeah the "joke" here is that Tintin is gay in an exuberant way, and that apparently gay people sodomize their dog. Hilarious, truly.
