Asterix dogs say "Arf Arf".
Are the German dogs saying *wow wow* or *vow vow* bitte?
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm learning lots of German words lately Fiona, but they're all from opera

It's wow wow, with a soft "w".

Asterix is a comic book series, originally French (by Goscinny and Uderzo). You don't have Asterix in the States??!!
I'm learning lots of German words lately Fiona, but they're all from opera so they tend to be things like "Liebestod" and "Ewigkeit," which might not be that useful in conversation.
Hey, Angus, you never know.
Fingers duly crossed, billy.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
Asterix and Obelix has been introduced here several times, I read, but never taken off. Everything I know I learned from this page. Billytea ought to approve of this detail: the chief of Asterix's Gallic tribe is named Vitalstitistix.

We do, but the fandom is sadly limited to (of course) French teachers, and then to mild freakazoids.
I keep being very tempted to actually purchase some. Been years since I read any.

What a sad, sad shame. Asterix and Obelix are fantastic. The books have been around since, at least, the 60s and were hugely popular when I was a kid in the 70s. They've made some cartoon features based on some of the stories, plus they've recently even made some live-action features. Gerard Depardieu plays Obelix. The latest one is supposed to be really cool.
