You do have Tintin in the US though, don't you? So it's not like you're totally unreceptive to Euro-comics. And I would have thought Asterix was more [***] than Tintin, not less.
[***] = "accessible"! God, that's weird, I just couldn't think of that word for about two minutes. I'm going mad.

I keep being very tempted to actually purchase some. Been years since I read any.
I have a very comprehensive collection at my parents'. I must dig them out sometime.
Baby just woke up. Gotta go.

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
When I did my big back-packing trip I learned please, thank you, yes, no, bathroom, and 'coffee with milk and sugar' in several languages. I got by alright.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Billytea ought to approve of this detail: the chief of Asterix's Gallic tribe is named Vitalstitistix.
I do indeed. Love the Asterix comics. (The potion-brewing druid, BTW, is called Getafix.)

Happens to me ALL the time. I end up making mad hand gesture signals to try and convey the word *kettle* to incredulous looking people.

We have both, yes. I think, though, that there are more Asterix fans than Tintin fans, although my ex-officemate was *very* into Tintin.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
damn, the English version of the Asterix site, didn't work :(
what was the name of the minstrel who was constantly getting smacked upside the head, or tied and gagged? I always loved that. :)

PM out-geeks me on this... but I'd heard of Tin Tin and not Asterix.
