24 Mar 20 - 01:05 PM (#4041839) Subject: RE: Obit: Uderzo, illustrator/creator of Astérix From: Helen 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. |

We had the books in the school Library & as my first job in 1970 was with the Library supplier(!) I started buying them & had them all. A few years ago I downsized them, but I know they went to good homes. sandra |

I should admit that I also have them in English, and I've read them in French. Well, another good man gone. He'll get along with the 'Catters Over There. |

I was chuckling at the puns and some of their antics. A young man sitting across from me saw me and picked up another Astérix book and looked very bewildered. I don't think he knew why I thought it was funny. I think he thought I was a bit weird. |
