Asterix the ''Star''......Obelix the ''Boulder.''

Part 03 Once Asterix spoke to me out of the pages of a comic, something to the effect that he is a star. He said to me, '' know why they call me Asterix.'' ''Nope,'' I answered. ''That's because I am a star,'' he said, ''the symbol that signifies my name is a star.''  He drew a  ''✱'' on a piece of paper. ''Look at Obelix,'' he added, '' he is a boulder,  his specialty is menhirs'' ''How do you symbolize Obelix name then?,'' I asked. ''You put down a ''b'' with a very very big belly.'' ''Like this...... 𝝏 ......or..... 𝜷 ,'' I drew two symbols down on the same piece of paper. Asterix laughed hard.......I would say the first one if only it looks like a ''b'' and not a ''d'' I smiled.....He was right though Obelix is like a boulder.

Dogmatix tried to ''shrink'' me!

Part 02 Once I had a dream that Dogmatix was talking to me; taking notes. Now, Dogmatix I think is Asterix or really Obelix dog. And I know the best this dog can say is woof wooff. But I saw in my dream this dog wearing glasses with a pad and a pen writing down my answers to his questions. ''Now what Monsieur do you say you do for a living?'' ''I am a blogger,'' I answered. ''You mean you carry logs about,'' he said ''how many can you carry in a day?'' Now this was no small joke. Here I was in this clinical room with my shrink ''Dogmatix'' probing the recesses of my deep thoughts. Cacophonix the bard was the bell that saved me. He busted into the clinically white room and started playing his magnificent song number - I can't recall the title. And all of a sudden Dogmatix turned to him and said, ''woof?'' I laughed hard, ''woof?'' So you lost your spee...

Obelix, Felix and Asterix

Part 01 Of the 3 friends close friends I have had, Asterix was the most outstanding (on the pages of a magazine that is). Obelix having fallen into a cauldron of potent potion as a child, needed no excuse for not fighting, he needed not drink the potion to gain strength, you see. You see I have met all 3 of these friends of mine. Two (2) on the pages of a comic book. The 3rd; Felix I met in real life. You see I used to enjoy reading Obelix and Asterix comics a lot, but none where as much fun as my friend Felix......and by extensions Frank, Bright.......and not to forget Edore ( gentle giant ). We used to drive along the streets of Warri. I recall one day I made a bold move and had the slope from left to right ''Bobby Brown'' hair cut, and Felix was so concerned that he (mockingly) suggested we go and deal with those barbers. ''I mean,'' he said ''how can they do this to your hair?'' ''I mean this is outrageous,'...
