Imani's Dumping Grounds

I want to talk about Obélix’s stage fright. I’m guessing that this post is mainly for the people that think that this is a new feature for Obélix that Alain Chabat added.

Honestly, when I first saw some person’s comment somewhere saying that it was unnecessary to give him stage fright and that it was much better when “the only thing the Gauls feared was the sky falling on their heads”. I think the gif below will explain my reaction to this better than my words could.

Obélix’s stage fright is not something new. We fist saw it in Astérix and the cauldron (1969), we see it again in Astérix and the laurel wreath (1971). There are more examples of this throughout the comic books. Pretty sure

Wanted to test out FireAlpaca's timelapse feature, so I did a quick Asterix style study. It's pretty good aside from the fact it exported at a pretty low quality (which I can probably fix anyway). On a side note, I'm getting better at replicating the Asterix comic art style. I'll definitely do more studies like this in the future.

It’s not bad but not as good as I imagined either. Ig it’s how they say “make it exist first, you can make it good later”

Celui-là il est pour mes français sûrs

I love their duo

Who wants to be the Fastanfurius to my Potus

Real and true!

Like, look at them. Aren’t they cute? I especially love this moment from Astérix and the soothsayer after all the women were given to drink the magic potion. LOOK AT HIM CHECKING OUT HOW STRONG HIS WIFE IS!!! \(//∇//)\

And mb if you’ve seen what I post you’d ask yourself “But you post so much Gaylois, aren’t they your favorite couple?” And to that I’d say “As much as I love those two oafs they aren’t canon and there for I don’t count them 🤷”

I feel like I have some more to say about them but now I don’t have the words, I’ll add my thoughts later
