So nice to see you remembering the 50th birthday of Asterix (http://www.asterix.com/birthday/) by posting the picture of where your copies live!
While I would question the statements of some history-minded fans who insist that Asterix was the biggest ally de Gaulle had in his wish to restore the self respect of the Frensh people after the upheavals of nineteen forties and -fifties, I sure have soft spot for them.
And for my youngest son the Asterix comics were the chicken soup for times being sick! For him the connection between being sick, needing solace and Asterix comics was even so strong that, when I asked to borrow his Asterix comics, he became concerned: "Are you sick?"
