That, or a Tribble...
Actually, Uderzo made, if I remember correctly, a comic called "Oumpah-pah le peau-rouge" (Oumpah-pah the Redskin), about the adventures of a big Indian and his thin white aristocratic French friend, the Chevalier de Pate...something. I think there was actually a trapper character in it with another deadish furry animal on his head.
Anyway, imagine what would have happened if "Oumpah-pah" had been more successful and Uderzo would have dedicated his entire life to it, rather than to Asterix...
American 18th century re-enactors would have complained about the audience's expectations of "Oumpah-pah" pioneers, trappers and Indians... :roll:
Ah...just found this...
