The quiz is here, for anyone who missed it. Following are the answers:

1. Bobo from Sillage ("Wake"). Altho they met as enemies, he wound up becoming one of protagonist Nävis' closest friends. She did, however, permanently blind him in one eye, as is just happening above.
2. Bianca Castafiore, the Milanese Nightingale, from The Adventures of Tintin. As it happens, there's some slight differences of opinion regarding her singing talents.
3. Dogmatix ("Idéfix") from Asterix the Gaul, who was sitting right outside the Butcher's shop the duo entered. In fact he spends the rest of the album following Asterix & Obelix around Gaul, until finally at the big feast, Obelix happens to notice him:
4. Herbert of Craftiwich, from Lewis Trondheim & Co.'s brilliant Donjon series. He's one of the two main adventuring characters along with "Marvin the Red" in this deep, varied series.
5. Kriss of Valnor, from Thorgal. She's arguably the greatest, most complex villain across comic-dom, and even stars as the anti-hero in her own companion series. Gotta love how she disdainfully orders her future husband around here, i.e. Thorgal.
6. Laureline, from Valérian and Laureline. She was originally a bold, curious-minded peasant girl from 11th century France, who happened to rescue Valérian in the first chronological adventure, Les Mauvais Rêves ("Bad Dreams").
7. Monsieur Choc, from Tif & Tondu, perhaps the least-known series on this list. "Mssr Choc," the man in the dress suit who always wears a medieval helmet, is in fact the leader of a global criminal organisation, not unlike "Blofeld" from the James Bond adventures.
8. RanTanPlan, from Lucky Luke, the dumbest dog in the universe. Actually he's probably right to flee the Daltons, here.
9. Roxanna (or "Pelisse" in the French editions), from La Quête de l'oiseau du temps ("The Quest for the Time-bird"). Part of why I'm introducing her along with the other secondary characters in this list is because her father "Bragon" (seen here & earlier in the quiz) is really the main character, while Roxanna's very existence is more... subtle.
10. A Smurf, from the Johann & Peewit adventure La flûte à six trous ("The six-holed flute"). The Smurfs proved so popular that they took over as author Peyo's main body of work in their spinoff series.
Interesting! I would never have guessed some of those.
