Obelix (Fr. Obélix) a fictional character from the French comic book series Asterix. He works as a menhir sculptor and deliveryman, and is Asterix' best friend. Obelix is noted for his obesity, the menhirs he carries around on his back and his superhuman strength. He is the only Gaul in Asterix' village who is always strong since he fell into the cauldron with magic potion when he was a small boy. Because of Obelix' already enormous strength he is not allowed to drink the magic potion ever again, much to his chagrin. Other characteristics are his simplemindedness, his love and care for his dog Dogmatix, his anger when someone refers to him as being "fat", his enthusiasm for hunting and eating wild boars and beating up Romans. His catch phrase is: "These Romans are crazy", although usually he considers other nationalities just as strange. He is a large man who does not see himself as fat, preferring euphemisms such as being "well covered" or having a chest that has "slipped a little bit". Obelix is so in denial over this matter that he usually doesn't even notice when other people refer to him as "that fat one", and often shows total confusion over which fat person people are
