Because other sites have
a comprehensive list of Caricatures (such as Asterix
around the world) I've decided to be a bit different.
Pierre Tchernia. a friend of Goscinny and Uderzo is a caricature
that pops up in many books so I decided to focus on him.

Pierre first pops up in Asterix
the Legionary as one of Caesar's Generals.
Note his appearance : (relatively) good looking,
not terribly fat. Almost dashing. It won't last...

It appears that in Asterix
in Corsica he's been demoted to a Centurion. What happened?
Did he displease Caesar or something? |
 |
|
|
|
|
As his appearances progress, Pierre gets
older and, well, fatter. In Obelix
and Co he hits rock bottom, not just any old Legionary
but a drunk one at that! So drunk he needs some familiar friends
to carry him off! |
 |

His fourth appearance is in Asterix
and Caesar's Gift as a Legionary who has served his 20
years. He is the 2nd from the left. And to think he could
have retired a General... |
|

|
|
You may think that in Asterix
in Belgium, he goes slightly up the rankings as a Legionary
who fears the Belgians not the Gauls, but his tale gets
worse, he actually is beaten up by the Gauls this time!
Oh... and his hair is greying!
|
|
|
|
 |
In Asterix
and the Actress, Pierre's last cameo to date, Uderzo really
honours his friend by representing him as a woman.
If that isn't rock bottom in rankings goes
I don't know what is. ;)
