Every now and then you just have to get away from all the frivolity of life and tackle something seriously serious. Like a graphic novel about how a pocket of ancient Gauls defied the might of the Roman army. With the help of a Druid and a secret potion. I mean - seriously.
Found this one in the chuckout tray last Saturday, and once again have to question the standards of the reading public of South Australia. C'mon fellas, this is the stuff of history and legend and fables told around the blessed camp fire. So get with it. Brush up on History.
These two French guys kicked off this saga back in 1961, and probably haven't been out of print since. Because of a discerning market who know a good read when they see it, so if - like me - are in the middle of writing your Will, planning your funeral, and generally getting ready to wrap things up, Asterix and his mate Obelix are just the distractions you need. There is WAY too little serious whimsy in the world and these two have the ability to offset the horrors of the nightly TV News.
Okay, that's all, just thought I'd share.
Cheers....
T.R.E.
ps - no way even near popping off, fit as the proverbial Mallee Bull, just want to be ready for the only totally predictable event in Life.
