Re: Albert Uderzo, 92
Also the only exposure that a lot of non-French get to French comic book culture, which is very different to the US/UK scene. Parting ways with Idfix...
But you have to read it in french to get the puns.

Re: Albert Uderzo, 92
Very true - although the English translators had a good go with some of it. The English name for the Druid, Getafix, was sheer genius.
I thought the "chez les Bretons" was pure gold ... with them going to England to help against the roman invasion, the english gauls described to be like the french but with some differences ... and then the scene with a breton leader standing on the cliffs of dover as the roman fleet sails spread to the horizon saying
"Je dis, c'etai un spectacle superb, quoi?"
They also stopped every day at 3 to have boiled water, until introduced to tea leave by the druid
