The Calculus Affair (1956) or "how scientific inventions can serve humanity without being coveted by military powers", in the tense climate of the Cold War. This new adventure takes Tintin back to Syldavia and Borduria. After inventing an ultrasound machine, Professor Calculus is kidnapped. Jolyon Wagg, an insurance sales rep, makes his entrance in this story, and will prove to be a constant nuisance.

A thrilling chase, surprises, old friends getting back together, headlong fights... all this for a stake in what seems to be limited to an ordinary umbrella. This is probably the most "detective-like" story.
He was going to be called Crampon (in French), but he ended up being called Wagg. Jolyon Wagg bursts into Marlinspike Hall on page 5 and from that moment on, he makes a point of making life hell for Captain Haddock and his friends. Wagg represents everything that Hergé found distasteful in a human being: he is over-familiar, inconsiderate and a master of imposing himself on others. He is also a coward: rumours of a chicken pox epidemic are enough (finally) to rout Wagg and his family.
