Mike MacAdam was an incompetent American hotel detective who tried, in vain, to help Tintin find his dog Snowy, who was kidnapped by Bugsy Kidnap.

History[]

Mike MacAdam (Original)

MacAdam's original design as seen in the book series.

He claims to have an amazing sixth sense for solving crimes. While looking for Snowy, he gave Tintin another woman's dog, named Fritzy. The woman hit MacAdam over the back of the head and took her dog back. Following his bringing of many dogs that are mistakenly different breeds, Tintin eventually dismisses MacAdam and manages to find Snowy himself. Later on, with the kidnapping of Tintin, MacAdam was summoned by the police as he found Snowy, and they went off to find Tintin. When he gets distracted by lighting a cigar, a man, presumably Sam, grabbed both MacAdam and Snowy leading to MacAdam's death.

  • He might be the American version of Thompson and Thomson. Like the twins, he is clumsy and incompetent at doing his job.
