Connections With Other Tintin Books
Although Thomson and Thompson had first appeared in Cigars of the Pharaoh in 1934 and had featured in the three adventures that followed, they were not given actual names until the 1938-9 King Ottokar's Sceptre when Tintin introduces them by name to Alembick at the airport.
Two recurring Tintin characters are introduced in King Ottokar's Sceptre: Bianca Castafiore and Colonel Boris, who was to re-appear under the name of Jorgen in Destination Moon and its sequel Explorers on the Moon.

Famous quotes containing the words connections with, connections and/or books:
“Growing up human is uniquely a matter of social relations rather than biology. What we learn from connections within the family takes the place of instincts that program the behavior of animals; which raises the question, how good are these connections?”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.”
—C.G. (Carl Gustav)
“I always was of opinion that the placing a youth to study with an attorney was rather a prejudice than a help.... The only help a youth wants is to be directed what books to read, and in what order to read them.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
