	Obelix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Obelix has a tremendous appetite, and his favourite dish is roast wild boar, which he hunts with Asterix.
		Obelix is kind-hearted, but not too bright intellectually, and leaves most of the important decisions to Asterix.
		Obelix's name is usually noted to be a play on the French word obélisque (obelisk), suggested by his habit of casually carrying heavy stone monuments (Menhirs) around with him.

	Asterix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Obelix and Co., for example, the young Roman bureaucrat is a caricature of a young Jacques Chirac.
		In Asterix and the Falling Sky, the super-clones are a caricature of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
		For example, the multi-storied apartments in Rome—the insulae—which have Obelix remarking that one man's roof is another man's floor, and consequently, "These Romans are crazy": his favourite line.

	Obelix
		Obelix is a sidekick with superhuman strength in the Asterix comic books.
		His job when not bashing Romans is as a menhir[?] delivery man. He has a little dog named Dogmatix.
		Unlike all other Gauls in the village, Obelix has no need to drink the druid's magic potion, because he fell into the cauldron as a baby, making its effect upon him permanent.

		Asterix and Obelix, the beloved Gaulish duo created by French comic book artists René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, are hardly a new or unfamiliar phenomenon throughout most of Europe.
		Obelix is quite a bit stronger, so he can beat up enemies faster, as well as break iron crates and move enormous blocks of stone.
		You'll spend the larger part of Asterix and Obelix's quest repeatedly pressing the bash button to puree these stooges and collect their helmets, which serve as the game's currency and can also number in the tens of thousands.

	Asterix and Obelix all at Sea
		Obelix has only reverted physically to childhood; mentally he's still adult: explaining Geriatrix's disgust when his wife removes the towel (p19).
		Relative to Geriatrix both the child Obelix and the adult Asterix are 'guttersnipes', 'tramps' and 'little imps' (p19).
		The storyline is particularly contrived, self-resolving (Obelix just becomes cured for no particular reason) and has the disastrous effect of removing the character of Obelix from the narrative.

	Asterix & Obelix XXL Sony Play Station 2 Video Game Review by AceGamez (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Asterix & Obelix XXL sees the heroes of the title, plus their faithful diminutive companion Dogmatix, on a quest across Europe to rescue the members of their village, who were captured and transported to various locations in the Roman Empire whilst Asterix and Obelix were away.
		There are plenty of puzzles that involve both Asterix and Obelix and you switch between them as playable characters depending on the situation.
		A lot of the puzzles involve keeping a torch lit long enough to light the next one in the sequence until you reach a keg of explosives that must be lit to clear the way and some of these in caves with strong winds blowing through can be a bit of a pain.

	IGN: Asterix & Obelix XXL Preview
		Asterix & Obelix XXL, just released in Europe by Atari, is the first true 3D platformer on the Game Boy Advance, and it comes this close to pulling off PlayStation One quality techniques on system hardware that was never meant to do it in the first place.
		Asterix & Obelix are incredibly popular comic characters in Europe, created more than 40 years ago and translated into more than 100 different languages.
		Their quirky humor never seemed to successfully trickle into North America...but it's not from a lack of trying, for it seems that, on occasion, the US gets to experience these Gauls battle against the Romans as they fight to preserve their village before it falls to the Romans completely.

	Asterix and Obelix Vs Caesar
		The story of Asterix and Obelix vs Caesar is placed in 50 BC, when Gaul was occupied by Caesar's Roman armies.
		Incidentally, the first comic book on the story of this village and its heroes was published in 1959, and a whole series appeared thereafter as the books grew in popularity.
		The depiction of the effects of the magic potion Asterix and Obelix take before they fight the enemy, that is, the Romans, is quite amusing.

	NewsForge \| MobiliX: Court says Mobilix too close to Obelix
		In the plaintiff's view he was using the onomatopoetic resemblance to the famous brand of "Obelix" to make use this famousness.
		'Obelix' is a cartoon character from Gaul, who lived under the jurisdiction of the Roman empire - hence the 'ix' postfix to his name.
		'Obelix' was famous for his resentment of all things 'Roman' (and all things 'German' if we think on.) Therefore, what could be more entertaining than a Gaullist Cartoon character 'getting one over' the 'second generation of empire builders', specifically using a 'symbol of such oppression' with a name as powerful as 'Ober Landes Gericht'.

	Obélix
		Although he had only a minor role in the first adventure, Obelix quickly became an essential character that his authors developed as they went along.
		He is actually the readers’ favourite hero: all opinion polls place Obelix at the top of the list of favourite village characters.
		An overgrown child who grew up too quickly and who is not yet aware of his own strength (in his defence, it must be said that not everyone falls in a cauldron of magic potion when he’s a little boy!), Obelix is an inexhaustible source of gags.

	TuxMobil: Trademark Trouble: Obelix versus MobiliX
		In the written verdict the court writes: "The big popularity of the comic-character 'Obelix" doesn't imply, that this word can be seen as a well known trademark." Also it doesn't seem possible to mistake both trademarks for each other.
		At October 9th 2003 we have requested the deletion of the community-trademark Obelix from the class number 9 of the trademark register at the European Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market - OAMI
		We assume that the trademark Obelix was not used in that class during the first five years from the beginning of the registration.

		Asterix & Obelix Hands-On Kickin' buttix and takin' namix.
		While the action is clearly geared towards a younger audience and there's lots and lots of combat to plow through, the game manages to mix up the different elements pretty thoroughly in order to keep the gameplay varied.
		While it's not possible to control both Asterix and Obelix at the same time, many of the puzzles involve the control switching from one character to the other.

		But it is funny, that when Obelix was returned to childhood in Asterix and Obelix all at Sea, he acted almost adult!
		Of course, no review of Obelix would be complete with the subject of his super strength, and him not being able to have a single drop more of Magic Potion (which he of course fell into when he was a little boy)
		Obelix's famous catchphrase is "These Romans are crazy".

	Asterix and Obelix heros of Gaul, France
		However, in many other respects the series reflects life in the 1st century BC as accurately as can be expected from the medium.
		For example, the multistoried apartments in Rome - the insulae - has Obelix remarking that one man's roof is another man's floor and consequently "These Romans are crazy" - his favourite line.
		More recently, this has occasionally extended to major characters: in Asterix and the Black Gold, a Roman spy is Sean Connery as James Bond, and in Asterix and Obelix All at Sea, the leader of the escaped slaves is Kirk Douglas as Spartacus.

		In the trademark dispute between the publishing house Les Éditions Albert René, publishers of the Asterix comics, and Werner Heuser, operator of the web site MobiliX, the legal scales have turned 180 degrees after the decision reached by the Higher Regional Court of Munich.
