The guy was the butler or servant. Asterix the Gaul was the (very amusing) cartoon series, IIRC! https://asterix.com/portfolio/ocatarinetabellatchitchix/ Edited Wednesday at 07:18 PM by mcwyler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Asterix very well known in the US? It's French, and when I was young it was one of the most popular French cultural imports to the UK from a very short list 🤣 In the Italian version, Obelix's catchphrase is "Sono pazzi questi romani" - these Romans are crazy, with the initials SPQR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I ever saw it was a random airing on public access, during the 1990's. I've never seen it aired elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not all coin books... Edited 20 hours ago by mcwyler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
