Valéry Giscard d'Estaing

The tax collector in the book has similarity to Giscard d'Estaing: what similarities? Ynot en 10:59, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

He's a caricature of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing (albeit a particularly unflattering one) presumably the authors did not agree with his politics ... --Invisifan 16:23, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I never found that he was, I took another look and definitely don't think that he is supposed to be. Uderzo was/is quite good at caricaturing, that's why I write "supposed to be": the tax collector does not have Giscard's ears, nose, chin mouth, forefront, he is short and crouched, Giscard is tall and erect.

Chief of a village

Whosemoralsarelastix, the chief of a neighboring Gaulish village

It should be mentioned that he is not a real village chief. Everything seems to be his own property, and his people obiously are his guard because very athletic and always being in arms. No women or children are there.80.141.177.34 (talk) 13:12, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
