This is part of a game-book series by "Hachette Jeunesse," in which the goal is to seek and find a few characters in each double-page landscape. If you like these, I previously rounded up some cool Where's Waldo/Wally panoramas here.
EDIT: ...and... of course, Imgur bumbled away the images, so I'll have to rebuild them one day, hopefully.
In this particular book there are 12 such games to play, and I'll give you one of my favorites, The Boarding Party. Click or zoom the images to expand:
The goal is to
find these six!
Now here's the puzzle:
From what I understand, Uderzo himself did the art, and the book was originally published in 2010. I'll edit in the answer key in a couple days!
HINT: Idéfix being the smallest is really hard to spot, but I can tell you that he's not on the two ships, and you can only see his head.
Wait what Idéfix is Dogmatix in English ?
I’ve never thought about non French names. Some of them are very specific French language jokes so that makes sense (specifically in the Mission Cléopatre film but that’s not the subject here)
Thanks for the puzzle.
Je vous en prie! And yes, it's a beautiful, clever translation that perfectly preserves the original meaning IMO.
The late translators Bell & Hockridge are rather famous worldwide for retaining in English much of the spirit & meaning of Goscinny's original text.
