This character intro page gives a completely misleading impression of Cacofonix’s importance in the series. You flop, Cacofonix – you mattered in maybe two books? Asterix the Gladiator and Asterix and the Magic Carpet? And you only mattered in the latter because you’d suddenly been given a bullshit magic power that you’d never manifested in any of the twenty-plus books before that.
oh well at least Justforkix thinks you’re cool
yes, everyone in this series has a punny name
my all-time favourites: the two legionaries called Sendervictorius and Appianglorius.
“yes, everyone in this series has a punny name”
this is why my little brother loves the Asterix series beyond all reason. He’s probably read the entire English set by this time, just giggling at all the puns or anything that looks like a pun. (I quite enjoyed going through one of them with him and explaining things like the visiting British druid Valueaddetax – but I was quite startled by how MANY there were. It’s amazing.)
…this is where the Taverley druids get their naming scheme from, isn’t it?
