| - In Asterix and the Banquet, César Drinklikafix, an inn landlord, borrows the features of legendary French actor Raimu, and takes up things where Marcel Pagnol's scripts left off, re-enacting the card game from the film Marius and the equally legendary bowls game from Fanny. Thanks to his loquaciousness and a fearsome grandiloquence, César Drinklikafix frightens a whole Roman garrison on his own, allowing Asterix and Obelix to leave Massilia without any hold-ups, equipped with a takeaway fish stew prepared by Hydrophobia, the wife of this Mediterranean César. This exploit earned him a place among guests at the big banquet for the anniversary of the battle of Gergovia in Asterix in Corsica.
