- moron4hire 6y agoI collect TinTin commics in different languages, out of this fantasy that attempting to read them is going to teach me those languages (I mean, it can't hurt, right?). And I was completely blown away that Snowy has a different name in most of the different versions (most of the time, it's some variation of the translation of "chalky"), but Cpt Haddock is always "Haddock".
