Man, Asterix is awesome. I should track down some collections–it’s been ages since I read the ones my stepdad brought from England when he moved to the ‘states.

Is there some kind of omnibus coming out? Like that Tintin one that didn’t come out?

The Beatles are forever. The Beatles are blessed by God with eternity. The Beatles shall dance upon our bones in the dead sunsets of a desolate tomorrow.

My daughter learned #29 the hard way. If only she were old enough to read Asterix and could have prepared herself first.

Asterix is awesome. I did not have a misspent childhood because I can recognize most of those frames on sight.

What NeilB said. Although technically there should be three or four gentlemen jumping up and down on Hipphurraux.

20 is actually from the lesson that taught you not to use demi-sec or doux to fend off pilum-wielding Romans.

Oh, and Asterix in Corsica is probably the greatest use of national stereotypes in the history of human culture.

$16 looks very Tintinesque, is it the same artist? I remember reading some Tintin when I was rather young, really brings back memories…
