There are people who diddn't?
At least in europe you are a fucking faggot if you diddn't read Tintin, Asterix and Lucky Luke

>>88398243
Lucky Luke is the shit.

I was at a book fair the other month and found out that were actually a couple of Asterix comics that were never translated and published here. My rage knew no bounds.

>go to French immersion because Le Ebin Leaf Bilingual Country
>read Smurfs in original French (Les Schtroumpfs)
>never understand why the English version changes the smurfs to be purple instead of black
>read original version with supposedly brainwashing racist overtones
>never associate it with them being inherently "black" as in "african american" but as a contrast to colour being a sign of morality (i.e. "the issue is black and white")

Il sont fou ces Anglos.

Thing that's always bothered me about Asterix is we're told he's smart, but we never really see evidence of it that's not yelling at Obelix for being a pillock.

>>88397796
Wish the translated Asterix comics were storytimed here more often

>>88399361
How not? All the plans he conceives and smart remarks he often makes are proof of his quick wit.

>>88397796
I did.

Asterix the Legionary is my favorite.

Yeah, used to get them out of the library every weekend. Rented the animated films too, was the best.

You mean it's not? Do they at least have fondue?

>>88401305
I think in the roman meaning an orgy was just a big party.

Shrewd, Yeah. Cunning, absolutely.

His plans have a tendency to boil down to "Drink Potion, Roll Romans."

Maybe I'm just reading the wrong stories.

He's much more likely to troll the Romans than just start thumping them. "The Gaul" and "Mansions of the Gods" come to mind.

>>88403609
Being Cacofonix is suffering.

>>88403351
He didn't say the word in response to the question. He is therefore not out.

>>88403462
Thanks for that storytime

every time

A similar modern term would be something like "kegger". It's not really known how much excess there will be, but the idea is one of indulgence for hedonism.
