the Kraken

[antares]

The Kraken! mmmmmm......arrrrrrghhhh!!

It reminds me of Tin Tin. Do you know that cartoon made by Hergé?
One of his books is called : the treasure of Scharlaken (scarlet?) Rackham
There is this great great grandfather of Kapitein Haddock, and one of his
famous outcries is : "Dat de grote Kraakvis u moge kraken!"
translation : "May the giant Kraken crack you!"


Antares,

Amsterdam, Holland
