Even now, those banquet scenes give me a warm feeling. Also, they make me hungry.
Wow. That’s one hell of a sterotyped Jew.
Bunny, if it’s the nose, Uderzo draws just about everybody with an enormous nose. It’s his thing.
Asterix was not antisemitic (contrarily to Tintin where those stereotypes exist).
The writer René Goscinny (who was Jewish) is also shown on Part 1, #21, as the Guide to the Dead Sea.
Wow. That’s one hell of a sterotyped Jew.
Yeah, and the depictions of black people are kind of offensive, too.
Like with Tin-Tin, I don’t see the appeal.
Asterix is equal opportunity stereotypical. EVERYONE is depicted that way, starting (and ending) with the french themselves!
If you find that offensive, that’s OK. But most people just find it funny. The series is a smash-hit in Germany, for example, and they ALWAYS went for stereotypes when depicting germans (goths)…

If you can’t find it in your heart to enjoy Asterix, you are actually a terrible person.
Reading through this overview has given me warm feelings inside, and I shall likely be happy for the rest of the day.
wow!!! amazing work!
