context: Title: Mr. Horsepower
  Passage: Mr. Horsepower is the cartoon mascot and logo of Clay Smith Cams, an auto shop established in 1931.  He is a sneering, cigar-smoking bird with red feathers and a yellow beak.  The image is a caricature of legendary hot rod guru Clay Smith (1921-1954), well known for his red hair.  Mr. Horsepower is rarely without a cigar, but when he is, he has a "cigar replacement" - such as a candy cane for the holidays.
  Title: Obelix
  Passage: Obelix (Obélix in French) is a cartoon character and protagonist in the French comic book series Asterix.  He works as a menhir sculptor and deliveryman, and is Asterix's best friend.  Obelix is noted for his fatness, the menhirs he carries around on his back and his superhuman strength.  He fell into a cauldron of the Gauls' magic potion when he was a baby, causing him to be the only Gaul in Asterix's village who is in a permanent state of superhuman strength.  Because of this already enormous strength, Obelix is not allowed to drink the magic potion ever again, a ban he regards as being tremendously unfair.  Other characteristics are his simplemindedness, his love and care for his dog Dogmatix, his anger when someone refers to him as being ""fat"", his enthusiasm for hunting and eating wild boars and beating up Romans.  His catchphrase is: ""Ils sont fous ces romains"", which translates into "These Romans are crazy!" , although he considers nearly every other nationality to be just as strange.

  Title: Rupert Bear, Follow the Magic...
  Passage: Rupert Bear: Follow the Magic... is a children's television series based on the Mary Tourtel character, Rupert Bear.  Aimed at pre-school children, the show is part stop motion, part computer-generated imagery.  Rupert Bear still wears his trademark bright yellow plaid trousers and matching scarf, with a red jumper.  Rupert has brown fur once again, just as he was originally drawn in 1920: when he appeared as a cartoon character in the Daily Express, they economised on ink by printing him white.
