I don't know if you've ever spent any time in North Africa but at some point someone is sure to try to sell you a carpet...

In the Golden Press edition of Crab Haddock uses the insult "rug merchants!"which I think has even more punch :D

He says it in Unicorn too. . . . . .
I thought that "Bagpipers" was funny too (unicorn again)

Well, if you've read "Tintin in the Land of the Soviets" you know where my username came from. He's a bad guy that follows Tintin around.

Why Juvenile Tintin Fan? I guess I've always seen myself as a kid.

I was drunk the night I joined the list and typed in thmthm
instead of tintin...I guess that name would be taken anyway...
Now that I think about it, it can also stand for tintin, haddock, milou...x2
hey miloumuttmitt - what part of CA are you from?

Karaboudjan? Fairly straightforward, I'd say...

Maybe I'm just biased, but that meeting on board the Karaboudjan turns it from just a good series to a great series.

Hence why I've adopted this as my user name.

My favorite villain in the series has always been Mitsuhirato. I know he only appeared in one book, and was working under Rastapopoulos and the Japanese, but I've always felt he made the biggest impact of any one-book main antagonist.
