Captain Haddock thundering typhoons!"" (""Tonnerre de Brest!""; lit.: ""Thunder of Brest""). Haddock uses these two expressions to such an extent that Abdullah actually addresses him as "Blistering Barnacles" (""Mille sabords"" - ""A thousand portholes"" - in the original version). Émile Brami, biographer of Louis-Ferdinand Céline, claimed in a 2004 interview with the French book magazine "Lire" that Hergé took his inspiration from Céline's anti-Semitic pamphlet "" (1937) to create some of Haddock's expressions, as some of them ("aztec," "coconut," "iconoclast," "platypus") appeared explicitly in Céline's book. Captain Haddock was portrayed by Georges Wilson in "Tintin and the Golden Fleece", by Jean Bouise
