Cigars of the Pharaoh
Sheikh Patrash Pasha is an Arab sheikh appearing in "Cigars of the Pharaoh" and a big fan of "The Adventures of Tintin". He arranges for Tintin to be kidnapped, but when Tintin is brought before him, he recognises him from his adventures, frees him, and sends him on his way with fresh supplies. His servant shows Tintin an "Adventures of Tintin" book that Pasha owns. The book title shown to Tintin has changed over the years; it was originally "Tintin in America", it became "Tintin in the Congo" at one point, and eventually settled on "Destination Moon"—the most recently published title at the time but, confusingly, takes place after the events in "Cigars of the Pharaoh". In "The Red Sea Sharks", when Emir Ben Kalish Ezab was overthrown by Bab El Ehr, the Emir temporarily took refuge with Patrash Pasha's tribesmen, who remained loyal.
