Oh my gosh - Tintin and Arthur Ransom in one conversation! I'm not sure I can stand this. (I could pass a delightful afternoon just on the topic "Compare and contrast Uncle Jim and Captain Haddock.")
If somebody ties P.G. Wodehouse into this thread as well, I'm going to have to lie down with a wet cloth on my forehead.
As for the "Castiafore Emerald"/TPATM comparison, personally I don't find TPATM to be all that different from the usual S&A book, whereas "Emerald" was quite a departure.
