I recall this got over rather well last year, so we might as have a morbid chuckle at what could have been the very last Asterix story by Albert Uderzo.

>>144655915every single asterix comic is great. fuck manga, uderzo was right
>>144656229kek
He was right.Clone, template manga took over the comics world. More french teens read manga than European comics. Not all of bad or terrible, but it is very much culturally empty. Disney owned, template superhero movies took over cinema. It's almost scary how on the money he was. Making the superheroes minions of the Mickey mouse figure is incredible foresight.
>>144655915It's funny how this comic shaped understanding of French history. It's like how we have our little folk stories, but this one is much newer and gets mentioned by a French exit movement where they claim to try to gather the true blood of Asterix's people as they still think they're people born from those who fought off the Romans.
>>144656661>every single asterix comic is great.Delusional.
I can't tell which is worse - this, or Asterix & The Secret Weapon
>>144658688Eh, Secret Weapon was really fucking stupid, but this is stupid AND bizarre
The prettiest nose in all of comic history.
>>144659761That's just common knowledge - everyone nose that.
>>144655915This was made because Uderzo browsed ecchi or full-on ero manga at a store
>>144657244The comic was building off the postwar idea of "our ancestors the Gauls", that even Algerians, Vietnamese and other French colonial places learned
>>144661149Not post WW2 but 19th century
>>144655915It is indeed the very last, by Uderzo anywayPost-Uderzo ones are fine even if it's technically Zombie Asterix, but then a lot of titles are zombies nowI wish Zombie Tintin happened
>>144657244>>144661149The French are mostly Gallo-Roman mutts with a dash of Germanic admixture so it's not wholly inaccurate.
It's not a 1:1 comparison, but this feels like a Seltzerberg movie in the (lack of) thought and effort put in. I hope other Franco-Belgian parody comics are better.
>>144661267Right but they lost. The idea that the Gauls were able to fend off the Romans rather than get incorporated is incorrect.
This is really, really weird. And not very in-keeping with the setting, era or general aura of the originals - even though there are a lot of parodies of modern things within the setting, they hadn't before broken the setting itself so completely.If he'd wanted to do a celebration of and references to various cartoon art, the theme should have been a Mosaic contest. The Duo get roped in as protection for the Gaulish Mosaic-maker Isignix (Disney comes from d'Isigny, or 'From Isigny', which is a town in Normandy in France /Also works as a vague pun on 'I sign it' for a Boss putting his name on the hard work of others'. as he takes his work to the Roman town of Luca (Modern day Lucca, home to the largest comics festival in Europe). Cue 'historical' parodies of modern artists as various competitors whilst Romans plot to derail the Gaulish entrants, Obelix getting roped into the artist's production team (It's like arranging teeny tiny menhirs), and some big set-piece show/roman fight where mosaic-makers on the magic potion use enhanced abilities to briefly make a 'Live Action' mosaic.
