He was also called "Snowy" in that 80s cartoon that always began with a man shouting "Herge's Adventures of TINTIN", but I have no idea if that was a British/French/Belgium/American show that was dubbed or not.<br /><br />I vaguely remember reading that there were also different translations of the names of the Asterix characters, but I only ever saw one set over here (the "Cacafonix", "Vitalstatistix" ones. I am also ashamed to say that I never realised that most of them were puns until a couple of years after I stopped reading them).LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-19164953279121205622008-04-20T18:22:00.000-03:002008-04-20T18:22:00.000-03:00I read those in the 70s, but I don't know when the...I read those in the 70s, but I don't know when they were published.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-18886161525631376842008-04-20T17:55:00.000-03:002008-04-20T17:55:00.000-03:00I'm British, and Snowy's always been called Snowy ...I'm British, and Snowy's always been called Snowy here, as long as I can remember, but he might've been called 'Whitey' in the earlier translations.Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134603038522951084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-61899014057993109532008-02-08T20:47:00.000-04:002008-02-08T20:47:00.000-04:00Only for Mallah and the Brain.
