Description Today the Asterix & Obélix comic series turns 60. Even though the comics and films had a certain influence on me when I was young, I don't think I've seriously drawn the main cast before. So here's my tribute to the irreducible Gauls!

Hmm, did you have it where the druid's name was Panoramix or Getafix?

Panoramix, as per the original French version!

I figured. I actually prefer that name over Getafix.

I don't get the name change, especially since "panoramic" exists in English.

Yeah, Getafix is a lame pun.
I think it was to put a play on his role in making the potion and other concoctions. :/

Ahhh, 60 ans d'Astérix. Ça reste toujours un classique, surtout avec la sortie récente de la nouvelle BD, La fille de Vercingétorix.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!  Someone other than me knows about these guys.  They were my first comic books and have always loved them.  Thank you for making this.

It's a staple of comic books in pretty much all of the French speaking world. Everybody knows about it Québec or France.

My dad collects them since he used to live in Seattle and then I got to read them and have been a part of my childhood.  Thank you for making the art.

Asterix is getting also a new issue pretty soon. I'm a big fan of those comics. They are the Mickey Mouse of Europe.

Too bad they still have trouble existing in America.

This goes for pretty much all of the European comics. I think the only European comic characters who are also very popular in America would be the Smurfs.

Between that and Miraculous Ladybug, very rarely does the US take kindly to EU-made cartoons.

I'm still shocked how the Tintin CG movie made it here at all.

Yeah, and that movie flopped. Besides Miraculous Ladybug, there is also Oggy and the Cockroaches which is also successful outside of Europe.
