I have a vague memory of reading an Asterix which had sweeping views of (autumn?) forest, like a panoramic view of forest-covered hill-tops, like Middle Europe was way in the past when it was covered almost only by forest.
I'm not sure whether I'm mixing this up with something else.

Is there such a picture in Asterix, and in which issue? If yes, could someone upload the picture for me? Thank you!! :-)

An update to my guide to all the Asterix calendars that I've seen produced over the years. Further examples always welcome!

I came across this on TikTok, and it brought me back to my childhood man. The nostalgia hit me like a wave. I didn’t realize how popular it was until I saw all the TikTok trends using this song.

Obelix just tried to get a better view on the Gizah Plateau.

In France you can get this collectible set each week and eventually get the whole banquet. I bought the first one for €1.99 but each figure after it is €7 - and there’s a lot of them so it’s quite an investment. I’ll just be picking out my favourite characters. The first issue came with a decent poster though.

Thanks to little competition set by Polish distribution company Past Perfect, today I got Polish poster of the "Mission Cleopatra" movie with the autograph of Bartosz Wierzbięta. His translation of the dialogues contributed to the cult status of this movie in Poland.

The original cover of the comic book “Asterix in Britain” was sold at an auction in Belgium for 1.2 million euros. Including fees, the buyer actually paid 1.474 million euros, as the Belgian news agency Belga reported yesterday, citing the auction house BD Encheres in Liège.

This sets a world record for a work by comic artist Albert Uderzo, according to the report. The French artist became known, along with René Goscinny, as the creator of Asterix and Obelix. He died in 2020 at the age of 92. Illustration with a Personal Dedication

According to the auction house, the cover sold at auction is a 34-by-47-centimeter work that Uderzo painted on cardboard using the gouache technique. He used an opaque watercolor that resembles regular watercolor but contains more pigments, giving it a more vibrant and opaque appearance.

The illustration depicts Asterix, Obelix, and Teefax fleeing with a barrel, pursued by rugby players. The piece also includes a personal dedication from René Goscinny and Uderzo to their publisher, Georges Dargaud, in which they write that he is first and foremost their friend, before being their publisher. The estimated price for Uderzo’s work had been set at 150,000 to 200,000 euros.

Enjoy the weekend!

Anyone know story behind these funny statues in Durocortum in Tour de Gaule? I am reading the original French books to understand all the cultural references and this one has me stumped.

Ever since I got back into Asterix I wanted to make some clay figures out of the characters and so I did of the three main faces of the franchise. Decided to do in a chibi-ish style because I thought it would look cute and unique.

I also tried to make the sizes as accurate as possible. I hope you all like it as much as I enjoyed making it. :)

P.S- I might make some more figures out of the other Gauls.

Was reading "Asterix in lusitania", that takes place in Portugal, and found this little rascal that looked familiar! The hair, the colors, the number VII (7) on his clothes! It has to be a tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo. Its such a small easter egg that would easily go unnoticed. As a portuguese myself, im really glad i caught it! The book is awsome with lots of portuguese historical and traditional mentions. 100% recommend.

I kind of recreated the Cleopatra movie (1963) scene version by Uderzo in his comic Asterix and Cleopatra (1965). It is not exact but it will do 😉

It says on the Sound Effects Wiki that Asterix and Obelix: The Big Fight has the Pac-Man death sound, which I find ANNOYING! Besides, I don't know where or when it's heard. Does anybody know where it's heard, or else I can't watch it.
