That's sad. The Astérix and Obélix books and later the movies have been a part of my life since high school.

My sister & I used to read the Astérix and Obélix books when we were at high school. We were both studying French and Latin so the school library also had the books in those languages.

Currently one of our television stations is airing the movies starring Edouard Baer and Gérard Depardieu. I recommended them to my sister because she and her husband came back from a trip to Europe a week or so ago and are self isolating due to the pandemic.

Rest in peace, M. Uderzo.
