	Asterix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the early album Asterix and the Goths, for instance, the Goths are represented as militaristic and regimented, reminiscent of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Germans.
		In Asterix in Belgium, the chieftain of Asterix's Belgian hosts gains inspiration for patates frites (chips) and mussels, Belgium's two most famous culinary ambassadors, from a vat of boiling oil prepared as a Roman weapon, and a damp wooden plank belonging to the pirates (note that potatoes were unknown in Europe at the time).
		The humour encountered in the Asterix comics is typically French, often centring on puns, caricatures, and tongue-in-cheek stereotypes of contemporary European nations and French regions.

	Asterix and the Banquet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The route taken by Asterix and Obelix is the same as for the famous Tour de France and the sack carried by Obelix reflects the race leader's jersey colour (yellow - with a patch for number).
		Asterix and the Banquet is the fifth volume of the Asterix comic book series, by René Goscinny (stories) and Albert Uderzo (illustrations).
		When the Romans try to contain the threat from the Gaulish village by building a stockade around it, Asterix and Obelix lay a bet with them.

	Asterix NZ - The Next Asterix Book "Asterix 34"
		Asterix and the Class Act was not initially regarded as No.32 until they decided Asterix and the Falling Sky would be Asterix 33 (causing much confusion - indeed in the English version of Class Act no number is printed).
		Asterix has often incoparated real Historical Events into the storylines, and the most famous historical event of that time period would be the assasination of Julius Caesar.
		Following this formula, Asterix and the Falling Sky should have been an Away adventure, but instead the formulae was broken and it took place in the Village.

	Guardian Unlimited Books LRB essay Going for Gaul: 40 years of Asterix
		Asterix and the Actress by Albert Uderzo, translated by Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge.
		It is a choice hilariously dramatised in Le Combat des chefs (Asterix and the Big Fight), which contrasts Ast& village with a neighbouring Gallic settlement.
		Before Goscinny's death Uderzo had never taken much part in the writing and to judge from his latest, Ast& et Latraviata (translated into English as Asterix and the Actress), the answer to the big question would be a disappointing no. The satire is stale.

		To put this in perspective Asterix sold around 22 million copies in the years from 1961 to 1974, about the same as the 22 Tintin albums put together between 1946 and 1972.
		Asterix is, after all, not a purely historical satire, and it's not uncommon that women stay at home even today.
		The depths and heights in Asterix, not mentioning the eminent art, makes the comic reach out to children and adults, schooled and and unschooled alike, and the difference in enjoyment is purely academic.
