Twod - Obélix's dog (in English) is Dogmatix ('x' not 'c'); my own dog is his French (and original) counterpart - Idéfix (the best translation of any of the Astérix names, I think). I think it's probably why I'm growing more and more to look like Obélix (without the ginger plaits, though). I loved (and still love) the Asterix stories. But as a young teenager I was completely thrown by Vercingetorix: I just couldn't work out what the pun was! It was years before I discovered that he was a real Gaulish chieftain and that there was no pun.
