Dude, Chris Sims writes this blog too? That guy is everywhere. Also, thanks for this – sent me right back to the Asterix section of my parents’ comics shelf.

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

Read the caption about making fun of a friendly rival again.

Man this post is awesome.

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.

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

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