I liked the one where they met Professor Calculus for the first time and Captain Haddock almost kicked his ass. That shark submarine was so darned cool.

Yeah I need to go get some of those books.

I used to check them out from the library all the time and I think I have read all but 2 of the adventures....but its been a while.

Capt Haddock and his Loch Lommond were hilarious.

I like Snowy... oh the troubles he'd get into when he drank a bit of Loch Lommond by mistake. And who'd forget the Thomson twins.
