Is there a better comic book writer than Goscinny?
anyone still reading?
>>88272750
Yeah
nearly done.
Then I'll start on Asterix and Cleopatra
>>88273023
I'm going to bed when this one's done.
Thanks a bunch for a great read!
You're doing gods work OP.
Thing with Asterix is that there are no twists or meme moments for people to sperg about.
They are just comfy reads.

Thanks OP
>>88274985
Thank you
>>88273144
He didn't say "White" in response to the question. He is therefore not out.
>>88273934
>Sphinx still has the nose
Oh boy, I know where this is going.
>>88280997
right?
It's such a simple and immediately recognizable joke setup
>>88274039
I'm not sure what I was expecting. I was figuring he'd explode or something.
>>88274278
Obelix, you fat fuck that cake is poisoned.

Thank you. We miss you,Goscinny!

>An alexandrine
Hah, forgot that one.
Yay, Asterix thread!
>>88271808
The pirates are a reference to Red Beard, another comic of the '60s.
Today, most people only know the Asterix version of the character, leading to cameos of cameos, like in the Song of Excalibur where a read bearded viking looks supisciously like the captain.
>>88287727
How come we never see any Iznogood on /co/? I remember that being the punniest of Goscinny's work. Which is saying something.
>>88291290
the puns must be a pain in the ass to translate.

seriously, does /co/ have a thing against this album or something?
I'm out of the loop here
well?
should I resume or start with another album?
>>88293413
That issue is notoriously bad. I was just shocked that someone actually requested it, but judging by >>88293102 I think he might've just been joking.
>>88293825
well, I'm completely neutral on the issue, but I guess I'll stop, if anyone has another /r/ refer to >>88292994
>>88293620
>Obvious mazinger reference

>Clear intent to make some statement about West VS East comics, and Franco-Belgians caught in the middle
If only this album wasn't shite, I might appreciate what it's trying to do.
Ok, let's get real now.
Asterix Legionary
>>88293865

>>88293896

The last book was better than Uderzo's plotting. What could be next? Mite b cool if they introduce Octavian as a parody of Millenials.
>>88294533

Does angloculture have the ''old hair BLANK'' joke for real? Or is it just the only way they could translate Poil au BLANK, and readers just have to figure it out for themselves?

>>88274844
>4th panel
Caesar is checking out that ass.
Also, is the nose pun present in the original French version? Did it sound better in that one? Because it feels a bit forced.

It's not a thing in the US but it's easy to get that he's rhyming.
How is it normally used?
>>88293299
You know that a comic goes to shit when the managers of this one decide to put a gazoo in the history
>>88295631
>oh dear, I've lost my piece of bread again
This is a great episode
Thank you anon for storytelling
about The Falling Sky, I don't mind it that you post it, but it is a bit too weird for Asterix.
>>88293722
It's generally considered the worst album in the series.
As for the "Why" and "I hate you" comments, I gave a similar response last time it was storytimed just to bump an Asterix thread and give the OP a little good-natured ribbing.
>>88296070
Uderzo is better in drawing than story and jokes, he stopped a couple of years ago and now new stories are made by Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad
I saw Albert Uderzo at a grocery store in Paris yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Galaks in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
>>88298641
It's quite well known he's an unpleasant person. I think he's currently in a legal dispute with his own daughter over the franchise rights.
>>88298768it's actually copypasta but yeah Uderzo really is an asshole
>>88298768
>It's quite well known he's an unpleasant person. I think he's currently in a legal dispute with his own daughter over the franchise rights.
Which is ridiculous; just wait a few years and he'll kick the bucket. No point in starting a legal dispute while he's alive.
