Guest in Zizanie

[Sellix]

You might think we already know who are the guests in the Asterix albums based on a real persons. Last week I received a message from a Dutch fan. He told me this:

The small Roman officer is probably modeled after Georges Marchais, the deceased leader of the French Communist Party and approved troublemaker.

Google the name (search for images) and make a comparison. Given the eyebrows, balding head and his role in the album you can't ignore he's right.
