In many cases, the English translation actually improved on the humor of the original. One example of this is in the names of characters. The dog is named Idefix in French, but Dogmatix in English, which is more apropos since he is a dog. The druid is Panoramix in French, but Getafix in English because he's always supplying drugs.. I mean magic potions to the protagonist. Plus, there are other hilarious names like Unhygienix, Vitalstatistix and Fulliautomatix.
