The best of Capt Haddock's curses
No Indian can lay claim to having a well-rounded personality without having read Tintin. It took you around the world at reasonable prices. Hell, it even took you to the Moon. Of course, most people would also agree that Capt Haddock is a far more interesting character than Tintin could ever aspire to be. Since he first appeared in The Crab with the Golden Claws, Haddock has entertained us with his bumbling drunkenness and his colourful language. Sara sent me this great site which attempts to compile every cuss word Capt Haddock has ever used. A rough and random sample includes such gems as -- Rhizopods, Bootlegger, Gogglers, Aborigine, Bagpipers, Pyrographers, Crab-apples, Goosecaps, Aztecs, Paranoiac, Twister, Vagabonds, Sea-gherkins, Road-hogs, Zapotecs, Cercopithecus, Toads, Psychopath
