What's your favourite Astérix book?

[classical_hero]

I believe we should call you Melodrama after the daughter in "Asterix and the Great Divide".

A roman helmet?

there you go.. back to you.. is this gonna be like the football quiz now?

 

[willemvanoranje]

I didn't think Obelix went out on purpose to fetch the helmet though. Didn't he get that cause the Romans were hiding in his patch of flowers?

yes it was like that.. then when Asterix is about to take him to his new object of obsession, he says he will put the flowers in a roman helmet because that's even more romantic than just the flowers

In Belgium.

Assuming I won...

At the start of most, there is an artpiece, with thyem as Asterix and Obelix.

Hm, not in the Swedish ones.... So that's not what I was thinking about.

@Thorgalaeg: No (Not as I know, at least )

Ok, but IIRC they appear in first pages in Obelix and co as legionaries, carrying a drunken fat soldier.

Indeed they do. Here they are:



I think they appear in a few albums. Aren't they a couple of statues in Astérix at the Olympic Games?

Oh, I missed that one.

Indeed, and that was what I was thinking of:

 

[nonconformist]

Wow, I never recognised them.
There are also Oliver and Hardy in one, aren't there?

 

[mrtn]

The Greek writing under them almost spell out Goscinny and Uderzo too.

And they're saying
"Despotis"
"Tyrannos"

The guy who is depicted as a drunk Roman legionnary in this pic is in fact Pierre Tchernia, a big boss of the French TV since the 50s, and he is the one telling the story in the Cleopatra real movie (don't know the word, sorry).


EDIT : Doh, just learned (didn't recognize him) that in the same movie, during the end when Ceasar (played by the guy who did the movie) tries to enter the party, the Egyptian dude who lets people go in is in fact Matthieu Kassovitz, who played Amélie's lover in the Amelie movie. For the Frenchies here, yes I'm really bad at that.

yeah, that was the one i was thinking of..
