Line 9: ---- === Tropes === * [[Alcohol -Induced Idiocy]]: Most of what Haddock does. * [[Big Bad]]: Omar Ben Salaad. * [[Character Development]]: When we first meet Haddock, he is a drunk and miserable wreck without a friend in the world and when he joins Tintin, his alcoholism means he causes more trouble for Tintin than he solves. At the end of the story, he is reformed and becomes the President of the Society of Sober Sailors! In later albums, he retains a fondness for the bottle, but is never as weak or unstable as he is here. Line 23: * [[Hollywood Mirage]] * [[Madness Mantra]]: When he enters his [[Heroic BSOD]], Haddock can only repeat the words "land of thirst" over and over. * [[Meat -O -Vision]]: After wandering around in the desert with Tintin for a while, Haddock envisions Tintin as a huge bottle of champagne and nearly strangles him to death trying to uncork him. * [[The Millstone]]: Haddock. * [[Red Herring]]: The [[Counterfeit Cash]] subplot at the beginning of the story basically amounts to this. * [[Shoot the Messenger]]: Non-lethal punching variation with Allan. * [[Villain ~~With~~with Good Publicity]]: Omar Ben Salaad. * [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Haddock gets truly pissed off when a band of Bedouin raiders firing at him shatter his bottle of whisky.
