Asterix is a comics character. Asterisk (*) is a PBX. Asterix is
s/ks$/x/ to Asterisk, as this is the first character used for for
comments. The second character is a dagger, or an obelisk (†), and thus
Asterix' sidekick is Obelix.
Or a different example:
cat <<EOF >article.tex
\documentclass{article}
\title{The\thanks{Asterisk} Title\thanks{Obelisk}}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
EOF
pdflatex article.tex
xpdf article.pdf
