Why are Europeans so obsessed with this cartoon?

uderzo was italian and goscinny was a pole

Really? that's funny, I always thought it was a British cartoon.

Everyone in Europe knows about Tintin and Asterix. It's part of our culture and we are proud of it.

now this is some high quality bait

everyone knows them in brazil
it's famous world wide.

You have no Idea frog.
I even have translated comic books.

>I don't think they are famous outside of the francoshere.
It must have been translated in a hundred of languages or something, like Tintin. I think it's fucking famous.

The cartoons are fun.

The greater question is why nobody pays attention to Alan Ford outside of ex-jugo lands

>Astérix a ainsi été traduit en 111 langues selon les éditions Albert-René.
>c'est en Allemagne qu'on trouve le plus grand nombre de traductions dans des parlers régionaux (65 albums et 29 dialectes)

Tintin is better desu

it needs more hyping
scanlate it to english so we can all read it (or to spanish if it's by me)

Everyone knows Asterix and Obelix over here, it's part of everybody's childhood

Pleb choice: Lucky Luke
Contrarian choice: Spirou
Normie choice: Asterix
Hipster choice: Blake et Mortimer
Patrician choice: Tintin

I had like 20 volumes of those. Pretty exciting stuff as a kid. Took it face value as a kid and was angry that the Italians were bullying the French back in the day.

there's a lot of comics that aren't cape or mouse that are famous, but they're kinda underground

eh fuck you, Lucky Luke and Spirou are as great as the others

it was very popular in the past, not sure about modern kids

Asterisco and Obelisco are italian, fuck off frenchies

Alan Ford was popular over here

every child and adult know them here, the comics are really popular here.

Asterix and Obelix is a big part of anyone's childhood here. Same with Lucky Luke.

Only comic book I enjoyed as a kid. The comics themselves were a lot fancier and with better paper and artwork as well. Always loved when Obelix btfod Romans then killed like 10 boars to grill.

Ever read Disney comics?

My holidays as a kid were spend in a tent in France reading Tintin (Kuifje) and Asterix & Obelix comics. Tintin is Belgian though, right?

I doubt children know it anymore nowadays. I mean when I read them (I'm 23) I had some old box of pretty old comics. I can't imagine many children nowadays still have them, I bet few of my peers even read the comics.

Because they travel all around Europe and the rest of the World so we can relate

>pic related is the best French comedy of the 2000s

Asterix and Obelix are my childhood you retarded frog

why don't the french make as many comics/animes/movies like they used to?
or do they still do so but they're just not prevalent anymore?

maybe france could've been the european japan, but not anymore unfortunately

All are great 2bh
Except Blake and Mortimer, fuck all that text

Asterix*

>Took it face value as a kid and was angry that the Italians were bullying the French back in the day.
Actually that was the case.

Do you know Jean Giraud aka MOEBIUS?
One of the best author of comics, all his drawings are just fcking masterpiece.

the comics are one giant racist caricature. It's pretty impressive really. Every negro was like those blackface actors with gian lips, super lazy fat bodies and golden earrings
