	Asterix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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.
		Spain is the cheap country down south where people from the North vacation (and demand to eat the same food as they are used to at home).

		Asterix is one of the best and most popular comics in Europe and a live-action movie would be the next step.
		"Asterix et Obelix contre Cesar" is not a bad movie, but as an adaptation from the comic it failed miserably.
		Christian Clavier is ok as Asterix, but Gerard Depardieu wasn't at all convincing as Obelix and made it easy on himself by just playing a big teddy-bear.

	A Celtic Gaul named Asterix
		The most chauvinistic nationalism in Asterix is presented by Obelix, the figure with the lowest IQ, when he constantly proclaims that the Romans, Britts, Goths and Egyptians are quite mad; He is the only person that's not mad.
		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.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Observer review: Asterix and the Actress and Comics, Comix & Graphic Novels
		Asterix and Obelix have already survived one of their creators, the writer René Goscinny, and their other 'parent', illustrator Albert Uderzo, is now 73.
		The gags are hollow, their friends' names aren't clever; none of the new characters has the charm of, say, the little boy in Asterix in Spain or the hopeless architect in Asterix and Cleopatra.
		Asterix is arguably the most well-known comic-strip character in the world, a fact which dawned on Goscinny some years before he died.

		As for the Asterix comic book series, it has been the sensation of the publishing world for over 45 years while the character Asterix has become a mythical figure, a symbol throughout the world for all who resist the influence of Empires trying to impose their will and law on others.
		Despite all his success, Asterix has remained down to earth and all he needs to keep him (and his readers) happy is the chance to ridicule the Romans and savour a delicious banquet with his friends.

		The way the book portraits Spain is far from the reality of the country.
		Furthermore Spain didn't even exist at the time when the book is set, that is the name for the modern country founded in the fifteenth century.
		It should be called Asterix in Hispania, the ancient name for the Iberian Peninsual, which covered most of what nowadays are Spain and Portugal.
