In what book can an International Sign Language hand sign meaning "I love you" (a hand with thumb, forefinger and little finger raised) be seen?

As far as I can remember, in Cigars of the Pharaoh the lower part of the statue of Shiva (around p.50) shows a child whose fingers are displayed that way.

Tintin in Tibet, page 47 frame 9, statue. I want to say that, clue -I call it clue- came from yamilah's answer, and clue was Shiva, not statue. Good question.

The original version doesn't show a raised thumb, but a folded one (see close up in frame D1)

The point goes to Yamilah for giving the first correct answer. Good Job!

I didn't understand. What original version? Don't we talk about English version albums?

I just meant I didn't check in the English version, but in the French one!
And, as it seems, both are similar.
