BLOG : WEBBLEDEGOOK
inkyBlog

This blog began in 1997 as a single news page called Nucelus. In 2005, during a long wait to move into a new house, I decided to learn some php and MySQL and write my own blogging system, which became inkyBlog and which now powers this, my own Webbledegook blog.

Thank you to my brother, Murray Ewing, for help with some of the more challenging aspects!

O IS FOR... OBELIX
Sat 26 Jul 2008

O is for Obelix, boar-eating, Roman-bashing, menhir-delivering friend to Asterix the Gaul, who fell into the magic potion when he was a baby, thus giving him a lifetime's supply of super-strength. Obelix was created by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, and made his first appearance in the first issue of Pilote in October 1959.

Each day I will be choosing a character from those suggested by the members of the Garen's A-Z of comic strip characters Facebook group - if you want to suggest any, please feel free to join in.

Obelix garnered a lot of support for 'O', with twelve votes. They came from Elyssa Campbell-Barr, Linda Wada, Murray Ewing, Dave Chua, Frazer Diamond, Lucy Crookes, Thalia Proctor, Uriel A. Duran, Jay Eales, Richard Wainman, Chris Cox and Davey Candlish - thanks all! (Apologies for the lack of links today... not enough time...)
