Dictatorial duck-billed diplodocus!

Tintin's best pal and very good friend is the irascible alcoholic seafaring bearded bear, Captain Haddock, best known for his whiskey-drinking, loyalty and his cussing, which turned the air blue. A selection of his insults:

Two-timing Tartar Twisters! Macrocephalic baboon! Infernal mileage merchants! Miserable blundering barbequed blister! Thundering misguided missile! Nyctalop! Pachyrhizus! Ophicleides! Purple profiteering jellyfish!

These strangely off-kilter insults resulted from Tintin creator Hergé being unable to put real swear words into his art.
