I am a huge Tintin fan; this link was sent to me by a former supervisor of mine. I especially love Captain Haddock's unusual insults; it shows that Remi was very educated and had an excellent vocabulary. By the way, I am a paid member of NPR and you may tell your listeners that I recieved and responded to this and love the comic strip.
I love Tintin and was so sad when I read the final book and had to have it explained to me that there weren't any more and never would be.
