Asterix and Obelix in Catalunya
October 29th, 1959… That day, for the very first time, was published a comic which would become famous around the world, as it has been published in 107 languages: Asterix and Obelix.
The went pretty much everywhere: America, Rome, Egypt, England, Belgium, Spain…
Even to Catalunya, the proof being this picture! Yep, another shutter, another closed shop!
Other birthdays today: Winona Ryder, 38, Richard Dreyfuss, 62, the Internet, 40. 40 years since Charley Kline sent some data from the University of California to the University of Stanford, an L and a O, on a Honeywell computer.
Happy birthday! Have some cake!

A friend had told me about this pair a long time ago, and until now I didn't even know what they looked like! Great shot and a perfect way to brighten up a dark, gloomy morning!:)

Mon Astérix ! Mon Idéfix qui pleure quand on abat un arbre ! Mon Obélix et son sanglier rôti, sa collection de casques romains… Sont un peu zarbi avec leurs bonnets phrygiens mais c'est peut-être l'ajout catalan ?

A clink of the wine glass to all of the above. And to you and Mandy, too.

My son would love it! And I need to confess that I'm a kind of Asterix fan as well! 🙂
