Idefix
Idéfix is the small white dog who became the loyal companion of Obelix in the classic Asterix comic series. The little canine attached himself to the Gaulish menhir-deliveryman, revealing a surprisingly fierce devotion to his new friends and a love of trees.
Few comic companions have burrowed into readers' hearts quite like Idefix, the pint-sized, irrepressible dog who first bounded onto the page in 1967, brought to life by the legendary duo of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. A true Silver Age treasure, this little fellow has proven anything but a footnote — 176 catalog appearances across nearly six decades, including five collector-recognized key issues, speak to a staying power that rivals any hero in the Gaulish village. Whether sharing adventures alongside Majestix, Miraculix, Troubadix, and the rest of that wonderfully boisterous cast, or gracing the pages of Asterix, Asterix Mundart, and MV Comix, Idefix has remained a beloved constant through generations of readers. If you've ever underestimated a small dog's capacity to leave a giant paw print on comics history, this character is your delightful correction.

Trivia

- Neither name is accidental: the French Idéfix punches on idée fixe meaning 'fixed idea,' while the English Dogmatix takes an entirely different route, blending 'dog' and 'dogmatic' into its own clever wordplay.en.wikipedia.org
- In his earliest appearances Idefix functioned purely as a silent visual joke, and only after readers responded positively did the creative team elevate him to Obelix's permanent companion.en.wikipedia.org
- René Goscinny has written more of Idefix's comics than any other writer in our catalog — 108 issues.
