Asterix is the smart one. He's most probably, together with Getafix(the druid), the smartest person in the village. He gets his superhuman strenght from the potion brewed by Getafix. Asterix is always willing to help his friends. Asterix's very best friend is Obelix

Obelix is Asterix's very best friend.Obelix is always ready to lend a helping hand, unless you're either a roman or if you make a comment about his weight. His favourite meal is undoubtably roasted wild-boar. He is a menhir delivery-man by trade.

Unlike the common belief did neither the vikings nor Columbus discover America the first. Actually it was two other guys who did it, one small and one "not fat, just low for his weight", also known as Asterix and Obelix. They discovered America, but had to flee when the natives demanded that Oblix had to marry the chieftains daughter.
