Haddock ’07 in dealing with administrators—which she characterized as “let’s be nice to the administration, lets not give them an excuse to look at us as a bunch of whining spoiled kids.” PLAYING BY THE RULESIn...
...desk, but he made Tintin a world traveler, meeting cultures that his creator encountered only in books and magazines. Over the course of the books (Hergé would call them albums), Tintin acquired a panoply of colorful companions: his faithful dog Snowy; his hard-drinking, foul-mouthed friend Captain Haddock; egghead Professor Calculus; bumbling detectives the Thompson Twins; and overbearing opera diva Bianca Castafiore...
