RED RACKHAM'S TREASURE
Captain Haddock is superstitious, but does that mean Hergé is, too?
Well,
you never know what there is to it.You have to watch these things before they start growing on you.
Is that a coconut? Blow me down!
No way Hergé has ever seen them grow on a tree.
Girasol, Calculus, Zonnebloem was a professor maybe, but not much of a scientist.
A tinkerer with gadgets is a much more accurate description. Here, guided by his trusty pendulum, he enters the basement where Tintin and Haddock have just found the treasure. Throughout the book, he keeps picking up signs that the treasure is located "West... always to the West" while it isn't there at all. Still, he finds it in the end, misguided and all. See how his pendulum really works? Not that it's of any use.Copyright by Hergé
Now that's pseudo-science for you.
