Aaah, I’m very happy that someone looked at Asterix and said “Idefix should get his own show. Also Idefix should get to talk”, because talking animals make things so much more fun.

Yes, this show is absolutely for a younger audience. But Asterix is what I grew up on more than... anything else, even more so than Disney movies and it is still big for me; I don’t miss a movie or a comic. So even if this show is very child-like innocent (which in itself is also kind of refreshing; even cartoons nowadays get so deep and dark), I still enjoy seeing Idefix and getting to hear Idefix! Have him be the lead of his own show! Such a good boy.

This is a very good call, it is adorable and I absolutely love that even today, kids still get to grow up with Asterix.

If Dogmatix is targeted at kids and coming to TV, I hope the airing time won’t be during school

#asterix #i love a lot of the stuff the american translation does #‘resolute guals’ is not one of them #INDOMITABLE WAS SO GOOD #that aside i dont think papercutz will have much of an influence on this series #and ive already seen stuff for ‘dogmatix and the indomitables’#but god #i just wanted to complain about resolute gauls again

Weirdly enough, I often find myself reading less in the summer, since I have more time than I do during the rest of the year to do other things. Also artfight has been eating up more than a bit of my free time! But here’s a collection a graphic novels I sat around on the hammock reading, and some novels I finished up...

(Everyone go read All Systems Red, holy crow guys)

A Whale of the Wild

The “sequel” to A Wolf Called Wander, though it doesn’t actually connect to the previous novel except in the stylistic/thematic sense. A Whale of the Wild is very much a standalone novel. And a pretty decent one! Personally, I think I liked Wolf more, but this one was a pleasant, informative read, with just the right amount of crushing dread sprinkled in. It’s about a young orca called Vega who is learning to become a new wayfinder for her pod but who still has a lot to learn, especially in an ocean that is becoming increasingly hostile to orcas and the other sealife that live alongside humans. When a devastating earthquake hits, Vega and her little brother find themselves separated from their family, lost in a now horrifyingly unfamiliar environment, and fighting starvation as the salmon that sustain them become more and more unreliable. It’s a desperate fight for survival as they search for food and their missing family. This book is written for a middle grade level, and does a really good job of putting the current environmental crisis into an animal’s perspective while giving the readers something to hope for.

The Adventure Zone: The Crystal Kingdom

Every July I eagerly anticipate the next Adventure Zone graphic novel. This one is for their fourth arc, The Crystal Kingdom, in which Magnus, Taako, and Merle respond to a SOS from a floating laboratory that is gradually being consumed by crystals and which threatens the entire world should it fall into the ocean. Carey Pietsch’s art continues to be absolutely fantastic, so beautifully and hilariously expressive, and this one delivers some great Merle moments, lots of Carey Fangbattle, and, of course, Kravtiz. Kravitz, my beloved…

Anyway, I obviously always recommend these. If you’ve never gotten into The Adventure Zone, I totally recommend either trying these graphic novels — or even better, just go listen to the podcast because it really is both hilarious and creates a shockingly good and heart-wrenching story by the end.

All Systems Red

I’ve seen The Murderbot Diaries on my dash occasionally, and it always looked interesting, but a friend’s recommendation finally compelled me to read the first novella of the series. And holy shit y’all. Absolutely the best book I’ve read this month, it’s amazing. Mind-blowingly good. Also, if you’re like me and want a good audiobook, it’s a nice three-hour listen, very chill!

Anyway, All Systems Red is about a Security Unit, an artificially created being that’s part-organic part-mechanical and all-company-owned-and-controlled. However, self-named “Murderbot” has managed to hack into the system that suppresses its own will, and is now coasting along, doing the least amount of work its job requires not to be noticed, while preferring to spend all its time watching the hours and hours of soap operas it has downloaded into its brain. And it’s a tolerable if somewhat dull life, until the science team that it's currently rented to is attacked and the whole mission goes pear-shaped. Suddenly Murderbot has to scramble to keep its humans alive… while its humans scramble with the realization that their “SecUnit” isn’t actually a mindless robot like they had all believed...

This story is both gripping and hilariously funny. Murderbot has such a unique voice and perspective and it’s an absolute pleasure to follow its story. I reallly need to read the next book...

Asterix and the Banquet

A classic. I was startled when I realized I hadn’t actually read this Asterix story… but hell I’m not gonna complain, it lets me read one of the originals for the first time again! In this Asterix volume, the Indomitable Gauls and the Romans end up arranging a bet — the Romans intend to keep them under siege, trapped in their village, while Asterix is confident that he can easily evade them… and will prove it by going on a tour around all of Gaul, collecting iconic foods from each region in order to return and put on a fine banquet. So we get a fantastic adventure in which Asterix and Obelix run all over the country, pursued the whole way, while making cheerful stops at the various eateries along the way. Also the first book Dogmatix shows up in! All around, a wonderful read, fun like all the best Asterix comics are.

Beauty Pop v4

A less impressive graphic novel. The first Beauty Pop is one of my guilty pleasure manga because… it really is pretty stupid but in the best possible ways. I mean, the whole thing is framed around hairstyling battles, like a shojo sports manga without the sports. It’s bonkers. Unfortunately, the series does not really manage to hold up, and it really begins to feel repetitive and dragging as it continues… as a lot of series like this do. *shrug* Unsurprising but still kinda disappointing I suppose. The building three-way romantic tension is mildly interesting if for no other reason than the main character Does Not Notice and Does Not Care about any of it, which is amusing and refreshing.

FRNCK v5

Now this series only gets better and better as it goes. This is the first book of the second arc, and somehow the danger just seems to be ramping up and up and up. The cavefamily have lost their home… as well as Léonard and Gargouille. Heartbroken, shocked, and angry, Franck is the one who ends up shouldering the blame for their presumed deaths as the others mourn. Things only get worse when Franck finds himself separated from the family, and in the territory of another tribe, this one hostile and cannibalistic...

Haikyuu v5

I continue to read this series because it continues to be charming… though it is beginning to feel, maybe, just a little repetitive. Kind of an inevitability with sports manga. But so far it continues to be good enough to overcome that. I’m not sure what I can say about this series that I haven’t already, so I’ll simply say it continues to be one of the most impressive sports manga I’ve read, and the author does a fantastic job of creating engaging characters, fleshed out teams, and really compelling relationships. I do genuinely adore all the main members of Crows, along with a number of characters from the rival teams as well. And of course it has some kickass volleyball scenes that are just drawn so dramatically they can’t help but take your breath away a little.

M*A*S*H Goes To Maine

Meh. The original book of the series was actually quite good in my opinion. This one… considerably less so. The first part I enjoyed more, since it was about Hawkeye, Trapper, Duke, and Oliver Jones trying to set up the FinestKind Clinic and Fishmarket in Crabapple Cove (which… is just the best premise I could have ever asked for). However, the book spends most of its time describing the quirky lives and times of other people living in the area and I… just… don’t care. It was funny at times but… I just don’t care. I wanted to hear more about the main cast. Also I found this book felt more racist and misogynistic than the first which also put me off :/ Wouldn’t bother if I were you. Go read the first book instead, or better yet just watch the TV show which is an obvious banger.

My Heart’s in the Highlands

I have had this on my “currently reading” list for so long but I’m officially giving up. It’s a really good book in theory but my god I can’t get over the pacing.

It’s about Lady Jane, a woman studying medicine in Edinburgh in 1888, and who suddenly finds herself back in the Highlands in the 13th century. Lost and confused, Jane is now at the mercy Clan Donald’s hospitality while she tries to adjust to this new world and hunts for her broken time machine. Fortunately, this hospitality include a burgeoning friendship with a red-haired warrior woman, Ainslie nic Dòmhnaill, who opens Jane’s eyes to the way the world could be.

Listen. It drives me nuts. This book should be completely up my alley, it has everything I like — IT HAS ALL OF ITS HISTORICAL FOOTNOTES CITED AT THE BACK, LITTLE EXTRA DETAILS ABOUT EVERY CHAPTER. THAT’S MY SHIT RIGHT THERE. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LIKE BEING ABLE TO GO OVER HISTORICAL DETAILS?? AND WELL RESEARCHED FOOTNOTES?? And yet it doesn’t. Fucking. Work for me. It has a kickass Scottish warrior lady as a love interest! It has a badass lady doctor! It has fish-out-of-water culture shock! But it also has a completely meandering plot, no sense of building tension, and a romance that just happens out of nowhere and feels completely unearned and uninteresting.

I would genuinely just rather read Outlander again, which I know has its own host of problems, but at least Outlander felt exciting and interesting and tense and funny. The romance built in fits and starts, it was complicated, and kept me interested. That book had me hooked (and has me hooked every time I reread it) whereas this book I’ve been sadly picking at for months like its a plate of overcooked spinach. This felt like an attempt at a queer, historically accurate knockoff which I would normally be super into but which just could not stick the landing.

Moomin on the Riviera

My first time actually reading anything from the Moomin canon. I have zero idea how to feel about it! It certainly is as feral as I’ve heard described! Overall, I think I enjoyed it but it sure made me feel strange emotions I didn’t know existed. I’m not even going to try to describe it. Read it if you want a batshit insane anti-capitalist comic.

Surviving the City

This was good in some areas, less good in others. It had a very interesting indigenous perspective on life in the modern city, the foster system, and The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women issue, which I’ve never seen handled in a book before. Something about the pacing did not completely click with me and I found myself getting easily distracted, but it’s definitely worth the read just to experience it and look at the issues it deals with through the characters’ (and author’s) eyes. It did give me a lot to think about and wrestle with, which is sometimes the best thing a book can give you.

Torchwood: Pack Animals

A really fun read, more so than I had ever expected! If you like Torchwood and want more stories about the team before everything goes to shit, this is perfect for that. It includes the entire cast, an interest mystery to be unravelled, lots of slavering monsters, Rhys being really wonderful and sweet (which I didn’t know I wanted until I read this book), and all the humour I expect from Torchwood. I had to send a lot of quotes to my long-suffering girlfriend who a) does not watch this show but b) needs to tolerate it because I find it too funny to keep to myself. It was good enough to make me go out another book of the series since this was the only one my library carried.

Asterix creator Albert Uderzo dies at 92

French comic-book artist, who created Asterix with the writer René Goscinny, dies at home ‘from a heart attack unrelated to the coronavirus’

Asterix illustrator Albert Uderzo has died at the age of 92, his family has announced.

The French comic book artist, who created the beloved Asterix comics in 1959 with the writer René Goscinny, died on Tuesday. He “died in his sleep at his home in Neuilly from a heart attack unrelated to the coronavirus. He had been very tired for several weeks,” his son-in-law Bernard de Choisy told AFP.

One of the best-loved characters in French popular culture, with more than 370m albums sold worldwide, 11 films and an Asterix theme park, the small-statured Asterix is a warrior from Roman-occupied ancient Gaul, who together with his best friend Obelix and dog Dogmatix – Idéfix in the French original – takes pleasure in outwitting Roman legionnaires. Fortunately for Asterix, Obelix fell into a cauldron of magic potion as a child, making him invincibly strong.

Each comic starts in the same way, before Asterix and his friends go on increasingly far flung adventures – in Asterix in Britain, he introduces tea to the ancient Britons. “The year is 50BC. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well, not entirely … One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the Roman legionaries who garrison the fortified camps of Totorum, Aquarium, Laudanum and Compendium.”

Comedian Chris Addison was one of many fans to mourn Uderzo’s passing online. “Very few people’s work will ever give me the amount of pleasure his has ever since I was very young. One of my greatest culinary regrets is that I’ll never get to eat wild boar the way he drew them for Asterix. Chapeau, monsieur,” he said on Twitter.

Mark Millar, the creator of comics including Kingsman and Kick-Ass, called Uderzo “the Master” and “my gateway drug to beautiful European comics”, while Rafael Albuquerque, illustrator and co-creator of American Vampire, said Uderzo was “one of my biggest influences in comics”. “Asterix was the first comic I read, from my aunt’s bookshelf. With him I learnt about expression more than anyone. Merci maître!” he wrote on Twitter.

Writer Oliver Kamm, whose mother, Anthea Bell, translated the Asterix books into English, said Uderzo was “a cartoonist of genius, whose skills perfectly combined with those of the brilliant René Goscinny”. Kamm said he was deeply sad and added: “Though not an English speaker like Goscinny (a keen anglophile), Uderzo had gracious appreciation of the Asterix translations of my mother.”

Uderzo met Goscinny in 1951, and the pair began creating characters together, including Oumpah-Pah, seen as a precursor to Asterix. In 1959, they were asked to create a magazine called Pilote, which would feature a “typically French hero”. They agreed to set their story in ancient Gaul, with the first issue published in October featuring The Adventures of Asterix the Gaul. More than 300,000 copies were sold.

Goscinny died in 1977, during an exercise stress test for a medical checkup. Uderzo continued the adventures of Asterix alone. The Great Divide, the 25th Asterix album, was published in 1980 and was the first to be written and drawn by Uderzo alone. In 2009, Uderzo retired, selling the rights to the character to Hachette.

Getafix’s mistake - Chapter 2 - Totorum camp

Hello everyone! Here I bring you the second chapter of this Asterix fic, I truly hope you’ll all like it, also, I wanted to make a little fanart, but I haven’t time to finish it, I’ll try to finish it as soon as possible and share it with all of you. ��

Well, I’d like to give a special thanks to @drummergirl231-2 for helping me editing this story. I’m really, really, really grateful to her, she’s awesome!

Okay after say all this, here you have the first chapter of this story, I hope you all will like it!

***********************************************

"By Jupiter, this is… unexpected." said the first legionary who had spoken before as he cautiously approached the body lying unconscious on the grass.

"I would say that more than unexpected it is… yeah, okay, the word is unexpected." said another of the six legionaries.

"What do we do?" another member asked.

"I don't know. This is new. Something like this has never happened to us before," another reasoned.

"Maybe this is some kind of trap and the fat Gaul is around here." suggested another.

"Don't be stupid! By Mars! Don't you think if the chubby Gaul were here, we would have already noticed?” The one who appeared to be the patrol leader spoke again.

"Right, we would have noticed," said another.

"Also, do you really think this Gaul would do anything to leave himself in this state of his own free will?" The leader spoke again.

"No, he wouldn’t. You’re absolutely right, Cleverus."

"So… what do we do with him?" asked another legionary, pointing to Asterix.

Cleverus seemed to consider it for a few moments. The fact that one of the most feared Gauls was there at their feet unconscious and with the appearance of a child, it almost seemed a a blessing from the gods, but taking him with them was also a great risk. If the other Gauls discovered it, they would certainly retaliate, and it was well known that Asterix was one of the most popular Gauls in the village. Surely it wouldn't be long before they noticed his absence. But, on the other hand, the fact he now had the appearance of a child made him practically unrecognizable. And furthermore, Cleverous doubted the Gauls would believe them if they were to explain it to them, supposing they got the opportunity to explain themselves.

"Tie him up and we’ll take him to Totorum camp." he finally decided.

The other legionaries carried out the orders and immediately tied Asterix. Given his current size, it only took one of the legionaries to carry him. Actually, with his actual adult size, a single man could carry him too, but that wasn’t relevant at that time. The legionary who picked up little Asterix couldn’t help thinking that, despite being one of his enemies, as a child, he was pretty cute.

They also collected the helmet, the belt, the canteen and all the other Gaul’s belongings to avoid leaving traces of what had happened in that space in the forest.

******************************************************

Obelix paced with Dogmatix – his beloved pet – from one side to the other of the entrance to Asterix's cabin. His best friend hadn’t yet returned from the forest. He knew well Asterix was intelligent and could manage on his own. Obelix was aware of this, but that didn’t stop him from being worried for his friend. He wished he were already in the village.

To be honest, it was strange that he hadn’t returned yet; all the other times Obelix had had to distribute menhirs and couldn’t accompany Asterix to the forest, the shorter Gaul, by this time, had already gotten the boars ready for them to eat. No, Asterix not being at home wasn’t normal.

As he walked, Vitalstatistix approached with his bearers and when he saw the menhir dealer’s face, he stopped his men and spoke to the great Gaul:

"Obelix, is something wrong?"

"Huh? Not at all, chief. It's just that Asterix hasn’t yet returned from the forest.”

"Oh, that’s weird, by Tutatis… but surely it is nothing important, Obelix. You’ll see Asterix return soon."

"Yes, chief," Obélix replied, lowering his head. Although he wanted to believe what Vitalstatistix was saying to him, it was difficult. Asterix had never, ever, been so late just after hunting some wild boars… especially knowing that his friend liked them so much.

"By Belenos, Asterix… I hope you are well." Obelix thought.

Fulliautomatix passed by at that moment, and seeing Obelix, also stopped somewhat intrigued to ask the reason for his state. In response, the menhir dealer replied with the same thing he had said to Vitalstatistix.

The blacksmith didn’t know exactly what to answer. It was certainly unusual that Asterix hadn’t returned yet, but he also didn’t want the great Gaul to worry more than necessary. After all, he and Asterix had always been inseparable, and any thoughts that something could happen to the blond warrior could completely destroy Obelix.

Forcing a smile, Fulliatomatix said to his friend:

"I don't think you have to worry about him, Obelix. Asterix is surely enjoying the pure air of the forest for a while rather than putting up with the contaminated air from the rotten fish of Unhygienix.”

"What did you just say about my fish?" asked an angry Unhygienix who was just passing by right then.

Fulliautomatix was surprised to hear the voice of the fishmonger, but on the other hand he was slightly pleased to see that his appearance had provided vestiges of what looked like a smile on Obelix's lips. If a discussion between the two men could cheer up the great Gaul a little, Fulliautomatix decided to go ahead with it.

"What you heard! Today your fish are particularly putrid." he said to his friend, standing up to him and speaking smugly.

"Oh yeah? That's what you think?" Unhygienix asked as his face began to redden like a tomato.

"As you’ve heard. That's what I think. And I'm sure I'm not mistaken."

"You’ll regret this!"

After saying this, Unhygienix pounced on the blacksmith and began a fight that gradually gathered more villagers. Obelix watched them from a distance. He knew that Fulliautomatix had done it on purpose in an attempt to cheer him up. It had partly worked, but the menhir dealer wouldn’t be calm until Asterix was at his side again, as always.

Tired of standing, Obelix sat down on the bench next to the front door. Dogmatix sat next to him and rested his small head on his master's large shoe. He also wanted Asterix to return. His ears hung languidly on both sides of his head, indicating that the little dog was saddened by the absence of the blond Gaul.

Getafix, after his talk with Asterix, had also gone to the forest, much later than his friend did… but despite the fact he didn’t have to go deep into the grove, it took him a long time to search and find everything he needed. He gathered up all the ingredients he thought might be running out and headed back to the village with a wide smile on his face.

When he arrived, he headed towards his cabin. The path that led to it passed in front of Asterix's cabin. As soon as the druid passed through that place, he found Obelix sitting in the doorway with his head resting in his huge hands and a worried look on his face.

Intrigued by the posture of the great menhir dealer, Getafix decided to investigate to discover the reason for his unusual attitude.

"Obelix, by Belenos, can you tell what this face is about? Is it just that you're still hungry?"

"Oh druid, of course I'm hungry, but that's because I haven't had breakfast, nor lunch yet."

"Haven’t you had breakfast? But Asterix had told me that you would eat together! Did you have a fight?”

"By Tutatis! No, it isn’t that, oh druid. What’s happening is that Asterix hasn’t returned yet.”

"W-what did you just say?" Getafix's voice took on a tone of alarm. The little warrior had left the village long before him. It was very strange that at this time he hadn’t yet returned.

"Obelix, are you completely sure that he hasn’t returned?"

"Of course. As we had agreed, after distributing the menhirs that had been entrusted to me, I came here… up until today, whenever we have done this, Asterix already had the boars ready to eat. But today it hasn’t been like that. His cabin is empty. By Belenos! Getafix, where can he be?”

Getafix remained thoughtful, stroking his long beard. He also began to fear that something had happened to the blond Gaul. He couldn't understand what might have happened. Asterix was very good in the woods, and he wasn’t the kind of person to make loved ones suffer, either. This was strange… very, very strange.

"Getafix…" Obelix spoke in a weak voice "do you think… do you think something could have happened to him?" panic was easily detectable in his voice

Getafix looked at Obelix with a look of sadness, and with absolute sincerity replied:

"I don't know Obelix, I really don't know."

******************************************************

"Ave Centurion! The patrol has returned, and they are bringing a prisoner with them." said the sentry who had been sent to inform his superior of the arrival of the patrol.

Centurion Caius Marsupialus was sitting in his chair reading a letter that had just arrived announcing that a Caesar’s senator was coming to Armorica to visit and check the status of each of the camps that surrounded the village of the indomitable Gauls that caused so much shame and pain to the Empire. When the sentry named Sharpeyesightus entered, Caius Marsupialus looked up from the document and listened carefully to what the newcomer was saying.

"Ave Sharpeyesightus, what did you say? My men bring a prisoner? What kind of prisoner?” He asked, interested in the news.

"I don't know Centurion, but it seemed to me that he was a Gaul boy." replied the sentry.

"By Jupiter! Are you kidding me?!”

"N-no Centurion, I’d never dare." answered the lower one trying to hide the fear in his voice.

Centurion Caius Marsupialus took a deep breath and spoke again when he had calmed down a bit:

"Okay Sharpeyesightus, tell the patrolmen that I'll be out soon."

"At your service. Ave Centurion.” Sharpeyesightus said, withdrawing from his superior's tent.

"Ave, ave… " replied the centurion, and then said to himself:

"By Saturn, I’m surrounded by the inept… unable to fight the Gauls… and on top of that, they only manage to capture a child? This is shameful. I'll have to send them to the circus, by Vulcano! How can I have such incompetent legionaries? And all this when the visit of one of the most powerful men in Rome is imminent… I’m so unlucky right now!”

Caius Marsupialus put on his armor and his cape, and taking his helmet, he went out to meet the newly arrived patrol.

While leaving his tent, Caius Marsupialus found the legionaries standing there. Unlike other times, this time it seemed they hadn’t been attacked by the Gauls. In fact, they seemed completely intact. The expedition leader stepped forward and raising his arm, saluting his superior:

"Ave Centurion, we have to report-"

"I want to see the prisoner." his superior cut him off, with a tone of voice that indicated he didn’t want his patience to be tested.

"... The p-prisoner ..." Cleverus began to stammer.

“I have been told that you have made a prisoner. Where is he? I want to see him!"

The patrol members looked at each other and then pulled away, exposing the legionary holding an unconscious boy. The boy seemed to be around three years old. Although it was difficult to specify, as the Gauls vary quite a bit in size among them. He also had blond hair, a little tousled on the back of his head. The boy also had a large nose, a common attribute among all Gauls apparently. But the strangest thing about this child was that he was dressed in clothes clearly too big for him. He was wearing a black tank top that covered his entire body, but Caius Marsupialus noticed that under the shirt the boy was wearing red pants. Maybe his parents like those clothes, or maybe the boy admires that short Gaul from the indomitables’ village, thought the Centurion. In short, that boy looked like a miniature copy, without a mustache, of the village’s warrior, but Caius Marsupialus knew that this was impossible.

"So, it was true," said Caius Marsupialus irritated. "You’ve taken a Gaul child prisoner!"

"Centurion, it’s not –"

"THIS IS SHAMEFUL! WHAT WOULD CAESAR SAY IF HE SAW YOU?! YOU ARE THE SHAME OF THE LEGION!”

"But Centurion, this child –"

"What? Will you tell me that it took you a lot to capture him?”

"No Centurion, it’s not that –"

"Then what?! How dare you try to justify yourself?!”

Then Caius Marsupialus noticed the little boy had his hands tied behind his back. This infuriated him even more. This boy was too young to be considered a threat, so why had his men tied him up? It defied all logic.

"By Mercury! Have you tied the boy?! Do you consider him a threat?!”

"Now that you mention it –" Cleverus started to say, but was again interrupted by the Centurion.

"THIS IS TOO MUCH, IT'S JUST A CHILD!" he raged, anger radiating uncontrollably throughout his being.

Cleverus had already lost his patience. He was tired of trying to explain what happened just because his superior didn’t let him do it, so in a sudden outburst he shouted:

"THIS CHILD IS ASTERIX!"

***********************************************

Well, and here you have the second chapter ends the first chapter. What do you think about it? Let me know your thoughts. Do you think the Roman centurion will trust his legionnaires? And about Obelix and Getafix, will they or any of the Gauls even imagine what had happened to him? How do you think they’ll react discovering what happened to Asterix? Please tell me what are your thoughts about it 😊

Okay, after say that, I really hope you all enjoyed this chapter, I also would like to thank to all the people who’d read this story and: @elianemariane17 @theholypencil for their likes

See you in the next chapter 😉
