Mannekenpix

Mannekenpix is a minor character from the Asterix universe, whose name references Brussels' famous Manneken Pis statue, suggesting a Belgian-set or Belgian-flavored comedic role typical of Asterix's culture-based wordplay humor.

Stepping out of the pages of Egmont Ehapa's beloved Asterix universe in 1971, Mannekenpix is a Bronze Age gem whose presence has quietly persisted across an impressive 53 years of publication history. Most at home in the dialect-flavored Asterix Mundart editions alongside the MV Comix and classic Asterix series, this character shares the page with icons like Asterix, Obelix, and a colorful cast including Tennisplatzis, Hotelterminus, and Militaros. With 14 catalog appearances spanning from debut to 2024, Mannekenpix is the kind of recurring figure that rewards the dedicated collector who digs deeper into the rich, multilingual world that Goscinny and Uderzo built — a small but enduring piece of one of comics' most cherished universes.
