Tintin and Haddock

I love all the relationships in the Tintin universe. In my mind this young orphan had slowly but surely built up a strong network of friends that became his family. Tintin and Haddock, Calculus and Haddock, and Tintin and Snowy seem to have a father-son dynamic going and its touching.

Reading the comics I was so endeared to Haddock. He is such a soft touch, and I can imagine how frustrating it is to care so much for someone so young, but has been doing reckless things long before him. He can't sway him, so all he can do is follow and worry. What father can't relate to that?
