Last Name Basis: Comic Books
Examples of
Last Name Basis in Comic Books.
In the Tintin series, Captain Haddock is never called by anything other than his last name. Even his best friend, Tintin, is not entirely sure what his first name is.
Haddock (after a blow to the head gives him amnesia): Who's captain here, you or me?
Tintin: You, of course. You're Captain Haddock.
Haddock: How ridiculous! What's my first name, then?
Tintin: Archibald, isn't it?
The same goes for the Thom(p)sons, whose first names are never given, and for Calculus, whose first name is quite rarely used, but exists.
And other charcacters suffer the opposite traitment: Tintin's full name is unknown, and weither it's is first name or last name is unclear (could also be a nickname); also Nestor, the Captain's butler, as no last name.
